		<description><![CDATA[Home Education Magazine publisher Helen Hegener shares information about Lenore Skenazy's weblog and book on Free-Range Kids, which explores the concept of how, "Somehow, a whole lot of parents are just convinced that nothing outside the home is safe. At the same time, they're also convinced that their children are helpless to fend for themselves. While most of these parents walked to school as kids, or hiked the woods — or even took public transportation — they can't imagine their own offspring doing the same thing. They have lost confidence in everything: Their neighborhood. Their kids. And their own ability to teach their children how to get by in the world." ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lenore Skenazy's "Free-Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry" (2009, Jossey-Bass), is a down-to-earth and common sense book about how to raise confident children by simply saying no to paranoid parenting, and just letting kids be kids, without invoking the harum-scarum fear tactics which have become commonplace in too many young lives today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the 2008 elections, there has been a rearranging of the political landscape in this country, and a shift of power is in the offing, as suggested in the article by Kathleen Parker. The challenge for us as homeschooling families and advocates has always been how to keep homeschooling from being aligned with a specific ideology, and understanding why that is important, and what effect it will have on our ability to continue to protect, defend, and expand our homeschooling freedoms, and those of our children and grandchildren.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote an essay which presents a perspective for anyone seeking to understand the history of homeschooling. I&#8217;m not going to paraphrase the writing or pull choice quotes out of context. You just need to go read the whole thing for yourself. Then, if anyone&#8217;s so inclined, I&#8217;ll be happy to [...]]]></description>
