		<title>The Core Curriculum Teaches Connections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever the weather permits, I eat lunch outside on the patio in the edge of the woodland. At this time of year, there are spiderwebs everywhere. It doesn&#8217;t matter that I come out every day and sit in the same chair, I still have to brush away an accumulation of delicate webs each day.
I hadn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Limiting Negative Input Creates a Healthy Learning Atmosphere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I wrote about how turning off television can improve your quality of life. However, negative influences don&#8217;t come only from television&#8211; they can come from many sources. While some sources of negativity may be hard to avoid, such as family members who sport a perpetual bad attitude, there&#8217;s no reason to actively seek [...]]]></description>

		<title>TV Turnoff Week: Fast, Cheap, &#038; Easy Life Enhancement!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why not live a little this week? The Center for Screen Time Awareness is once again sponsoring the ever-timely TV Turnoff Week. Pointing out that &#8220;television cuts into family time, harms our children&#8217;s ability to read and succeed in school, and contributes to unhealthy lifestyles and obesity&#8221; (though otherwise, it&#8217;s not so bad?!), the Center [...]]]></description>

		<title>Celebrate April with Hopkins, Frost, Eliot, and Rossetti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been stricken with spring fever and could not resist sharing the beauty of a few of my favorite spring poems. I&#8217;ll offer them without comment, as I believe they are best savored quietly. If you wish to learn more about the poet or the poem, I suggest browsing through Bartleby.com, as well as your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing Opportunities for Teens- Contests and Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I speak on writing, I ask students whether they like to write. There are always a few, usually sitting on the front row taking copious notes, who respond eagerly that they LOVE to write. A few, usually sitting in back, clearly not there by their own choice, indicate firmly that they don&#8217;t like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seven Things to Know Before You Begin Homeschooling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this post last week, after speaking at Cindy Rushton&#8217;s Talk-a-Latte on What I Wish I Had Known. Unfortunately, due to the migration of our server, the post disappeared when I hit &#8217;save,&#8217; and I didn&#8217;t have time to recreate it. Let&#8217;s try this one again!

		<title>115th Carnival of Homeschooling: Oh, The Things That You&#8217;ll Do!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the 115th Carnival of Homeschooling! The theme for this carnival is adapted from Dr. Seuss&#8217;s beloved Oh, The Places You&#8217;ll Go! Homeschoolers are a diverse bunch, and I thought it would be interesting to read about some of the things we do.
One of the things we do particularly well is read, so I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>California Homeschool Ruling: Why It&#8217;s Absurd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re not stranded, like Robinson Crusoe, on a desert island, you&#8217;ve probably heard about the California court ruling that essentially outlaws homeschooling in California. You can read an overview of the case as well as a complete copy of the brief at the Home School Legal Defense website, and you may also join the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy National Grammar Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[National Grammar Day, sponsored by The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG),  is celebrated annually on March 4. I&#8217;m sure that someone somewhere has scheduled an event with party hats and noisemakers. I thought perhaps we&#8217;d content ourselves with a quiet celebration and a few links to interesting grammar resources. If you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homeschooling High School: Is Outsourcing an Option?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I talk about homeschooling through high school, I always mention the possibility of seeking outside help for advanced subjects. Although most people understand the reasons behind finding an experienced algebra tutor or writing coach, some parents don&#8217;t see it that way. I heard from one irate mom after I mentioned several options for working [...]]]></description>
