What Type of Education Does

Your Child Receive?

We want one class to have a liberal education.

We want another class, a very much larger

class of necessity, to forgo the privilege of a

liberal education and fit themselves to perform

specific difficult manual tasks.

A Voice in the Desert

Thank you for taking the time to put together valuable training material on leadership education. I have been homeschooling 6 years and as far as I can see, there is little-to-nothing available in this area of education that has any practical application for homechooling parents to use in the mentoring of their children

I felt like a lone horse on a deserted trail. Everyone else that I know that home schools is on the conveyor belt to keep up with the public education counterpart. Thank you for being a "voice in the desert" that will give guidance to us "many lone horses" that are headed your way.

Cherie



Practical Direction…

Several Children I read through Kerry’s books in a few days, and found them full of

practical direction. She gives some very good ideas for mentoring your children, complete with age level appropriate expectations. She also shares some hints for implementing this style if you have several children.

This is the direction I have been heading ….so your work will help me flesh out what this will mean in real life. Lots of good, practical info and I loved the links!
