		<description><![CDATA[Advocating for home education is aplenty for me. A decade ago, I decided to make home education my focus rather than &#8220;school reform.&#8221; However, I still pay attention to efforts to reform public education.

		<description><![CDATA[Homeschooling families are not missing out on anything this time of year.

		<description><![CDATA[Reading through the current issue of Education Revolution, I found an interesting article by Elana Davidson titled &#8220;Moving Beyond Age Discrimination,&#8221; with this highlighted quote:

I found photos of Mark and I speaking at conferences from New York to California, and marveled at how young we looked two decades ago.
