Welcome to Homeschooling!
Homeschooling can be a whole new way of learning and growing and living together as a family! There is no one right way to homeschool, no sure fire method or ten step program to homeschooling success, so we at Home Education Magazine won't try to offer you one. What we will offer, in the links below and throughout this site, is help finding good information and resources, along with plenty of encouragement and networking opportunities.
We can make it easy and exciting to become part of the friendly homeschooling community by helping you find a good homeschool support group in your area, and we can help you find the most helpful online networking and discussion groups, no matter what your specific interests.
In short, we at HEM can help you find all the resources and encouragement you'll need to make your family's homeschool learning adventure a success!
"For many parents, homeschooling is a matter of heart and belief; they feel deeply and strongly that they should be homeschooling. They sometimes start homeschooling with only this conviction to go on, unsure of exactly how they will proceed, and they work out practical details and solve problems as they go along."
-Larry and Susan Kaseman, homeschooling parents and HEM Columnists
Why Families Choose Homeschooling - by Helen Hegener, HEM Managing Editor
Do you remember when you first learned about the idea of homeschooling your children? Did it seem naturally right for you, or did you have to think about it a while?
Dear New Homeschooler - by Mary McCarthy
You will have doubts, plenty of them! Can I really educate my child? You taught them to walk and talk, dress and feed themselves, understand right from wrong. How much more difficult can ABC and 123 be? Mary McCarthy, a pioneer homeschooling mom offers her perspective for new homeschoolers.
