HEM Takes a Closer
Look:Older
Children
Education - compulsory schooling, compulsory learning - is a tyranny and a crime against the human mind and spirit. Let all those escape it who can, any way they can. -John Holt
When given the opportunity to break free from compulsory learning, older homeschooled children have the wonderful opportunity to follow their interests and passions. They can get the much needed rest their growing bodies need and enjoy the time to explore the world around them. Some attend college early, some travel, some
work or shadow others to see if they might be interested in pursuing a particular career path.
Older children are ready to learn, able to find resources, but most of all, when trusted they soar. Click
here for some HEM articles and other resources on older kids.

Can I deduct homeschool expenses?
Every once in a while, someone asks, “how do we deduct homeschooling expenses?” The short answer is, we don’t.
Even if a state lodges homeschooling under the state’s private school statutes, homeschoolers are not running a business for their own children. If people accept money from other parents to school the children from another family, that is a private school, not homeschooling.  Some states [...]

Marketing to the niche
A question came up on an email list about a ‘rewards’ system for homeschoolers: My Homeschool Rewards I’d never heard of it, so I went looking.
A Who Is query showed that the My Homeschool Rewards site is registered to the Frankey Britton Group.  Googling for that name gives a list of 12 sites (as of today), which [...]
