June 15, 2007, Newsletter Issue #141: Ten Commandments for Homeschoolers
Tip of the Week
1 - Develop your own philosophy of education.
2 - Donīt compare your philosophy, system, goals to other homeschoolers.
3 - Borrow from your friendsī that which complements your philosophy.
4 - Give yourself a break. Evaluate yourself, but be nice about it. Learn from your mistakes, but donīt pound yourself on the head with them.
5 - Donīt be greedy. You probably donīt need half of what seems good for your homeschoolers. Put it back on the shelf!
6 - Wait your turn. Before you know it, your children will be able to work on most subjects with almost no supervision, but now they still need your guidance. Be patient.
7 - Avoid Homeschool Contentions. You donīt have to be like everyone else. Donīt try to keep up with the Joneses.
8 - Donīt begrudge. Some people have a gift for creativity in art. Others in music. Improve on what you are really good in!
9 - Have your temper tantrum. Go ahead. Have it and then get over it and drop it!
10- Encourage one another. Lift up fellow homeschoolers and encourage them in their efforts.
