Homeschoolers don't match stereotypes


One of my favorite reactions happened at my school, Fox Valley Technical College. I was chatting with another student before my class and, somewhere in the conversation, I mentioned having been homeschooled. She looked at me in amazement, and exclaimed, "I would have never guessed you were homeschooled!"
To my dismay, her comment was actually meant as a compliment. She seemed to think that if I had been homeschooled, I wouldn't be able to keep up a good conversation or be able to offer ideas and somewhat intelligent comments in the classroom discussions.

“The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

The New York Times Magazine has a long and interesting article today about the moral life of babies. The story’s main thesis, after establishing evidence for a rudimentary infant morality–such as babies preferring “good guy” puppets, I can’t do the evidence justice in a blog entry–is to refute suggestions–which are treated respectfully–that human morality is evidence for a divinity, as opposed to purposeless evolution. But that matter is of no consequence to us here at SHS. “The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

The challenges of parenting teens

"As you encourage communication, give attention to their body language, tone of voice, attitude and the philosophy they have of their socialization . It will be very effective if you ask questions, share your experiences, and show respect for their views as the communication process is established. Remove evidence of worry and display love and confidence in your teen's judgment." The Nassau Guardian Online Guide
