The Homeschooling Community: AHA Weblogs Blog

AHA Weblogs Blog: Home Education Magazine Editor’s Blog

I was writing a letter to a friend this morning, trying to explain why I feel so amazingly optimistic about the homeschooling community these days, and I thought maybe I should share some of what I’d written with my blog readers:

We coordinated with Kim Campbell last year to do a “blog of blogs” for the AHA – and just go take a *look* at this absolutely marvelous resource she’s created: AHA Weblogs Blog.

I am in total awe – and I lose countless hours just reading – every time I go there! This homeschooling community is so unbelievably rich in committed, caring, savvy, fun, I-could-run-out-of-descriptive-words people, openly sharing their lives and their children’s lives by simply recording magnificent photos and endearing moments and family histories and the little things that happen in life to make it the wondrous adventure it is. I’m waaay more optimistic about the homeschooling community now than at almost any time I can remember! In fact, I’m *downright excited* – does it show?

Interestingly, when I hunted up the URL for Kim’s AHA blog I noted again that she’d added this blog a couple of weeks ago, saying this about me:

Although she doesn’t state it directly in her blog, one of her motivations appears to be bringing homeschoolers together by connecting us with other fabulous blogs and websites and publications.

That’s precisely why we do this work. Good call, Kim!

    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business. Nurturing the human capacity to learn through love and intrinsic motivation is as important to life — to me, more important — as ‘learning for earning.’ Art, religion, music […]
