Homeschool changes and scares

As a homeschool mom, I am constantly looking for ways to enhance our school and make things interesting and exciting for our daughter.

A lady I met through a homeschool group is very knowledgeable in that she has been doing this for many years so I decided to pick her brain about science and history.

We use all of the Bob Jones curriculum, don't get me wrong, I love using it! But I feel as though history and science should be something hands on and fun! Anyway...

Our resident "homeschool expert" has shown me Apologia Science and Beautiful Feet Books.

I am so looking forward to implementing this next year. Much to Amanda's delight, we will continue to do math and reading throughout the summer. I really liked how the "homeschool expert" conducts their homeschool schedule. They go for 39 weeks total, but they may take off 2 weeks here and there. By September, they are starting a new 39 weeks.

While surfing the Internet today I found this article: World Net Daily

Kind of makes you wonder how much longer we will be able to homeschool our children.
