Homeschool Blogs

Pamela Jorrick is a homeschooling mom and blogger who describes herself as “the mother of a couple of home grown, free ranging kids living in the foothills of Northern California.” On her weblog, Blah, Blah, Blog, she shares her perspective and her approach to homeschooling:

I am a firm believer that education should not be boring. Kids start off life wanting to learn, and in an effort to keep that spark alive rather than smothering it with formalities, I spend a lot of time researching (goofing off on the internet, browsing library shelves, crafty catalogs etc.) finding cool things to enhance our homeschooling journey. It keeps it fun and interesting for both my kids and me, which is, after all, why we are doing this.

In another post she explains a little more:

The idea of homeschooling really isn’t that strange, and neither are most of the people doing it. We’re a mixed bag of all kinds of people who chose this path for different reasons and go about it different ways. So, I try to be glad to answer the questions, and to show the side of homeschooling that is out having fun, learning and enjoying life. I certainly choose my moments to mention homeschooling. If my children are running through the store being exceptionally loud and crashing the shopping cart into each other, or worse, the wine shelf, I am not about to tout what a great educational alternative we have going on. I can’t convincingly pretend I don’t know who they belong with, since one of them looks like a miniature version of me.

Pamela’s a good writer, and she finds interesting things to write about. Check out her blog at the links above.
