• Friday, May 23, 2008 - Homeschooling and land

So many times I've come here to blog ...... but forgot what I wanted to talk about once I got here. That irks me!!! I think I need to make a list of topics I want to blog about! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Homeschooling ..... our local paper did an article on home schooling and I really don't get what the point of the article is. It mentions that numbers of home schoolers in our area is declining (which I disagree with) .... but then it mentions different options. It also talks about on line charter schools and how the state department of education pays for them .... WHAT??????   Since when? I know there is ONE on line charter school that is free .... but one out of how many? I really think the article is filled with misrepresentations!!! That irks me!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ We're still looking at land and homes. The 81 acre parcel was mostly mountain & we don't want to have the expense of bull dozing before building, so we didn't put an offer in. I think that one of the problems is that we're really not sure what we want .... be it land with a home already on it ..... or land to build our own home. There are pros & cons to both .... neither choice out weighing the other. Really the only con of building our own (as far as my husband is concerned) is having to live in an RV or something while building. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Some one on our local Freecycle was giving away a goat and her 2 kids. One major reason I'm bummed we don't have a place of our own yet!!! ~ Happy Trails ~
