Wouldn't it be fabulous if home educators could receive the same tax payer funding as the public school system? With that kind of money per child, we could go to Egypt, Greece, and Rome while studying Ancient Civilizations. Since it was always more of a daydream than a possibility, we visited those places in our imagination with the help of living books (lots and lots of books) and internet resources. It definitely spurred a wanderlust in all of my children. I think they also an inherited the travel gene from my Dad's side of the family.

A valid email address was not associated with your comment, so I shall reply here. Thank you for considering our family for your program.

That can be a full time job in itself!
Again, thanks for the kind words and consideration. God bless you and good luck with the search!
