		<title>Web-Based Summer School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer Learning - I heard a mother comment recently:

		<title>Do we homeschool only because the schools stink?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a post which got me thinking about the overall homeschool movement from a statistical point of view.
I&#8217;ve written before about a homeschool silent majority and that, despite the shrill tone of many websites, we&#8217;re mostly pragmatic people trying to do the best thing for our kids.  I&#8217;m going to solicit ideas on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are homeschool kids different when they get to college?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a question that i&#8217;d like to hear some college students thoughts on.
From what you see in college, what are  your thoughts on homeschooling for K12?

		<title>&#8220;Education should teach people how to live or how to make a living&#8221; &#8212; John Adams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve learned alot about John Adams and American history this past month.  I didn&#8217;t learn it directly from the John Adams biography written by David McCollough that sits mostly unread next to my bed. I&#8217;ve learned it from watching the HBO Series on John Adams.  John Adams, I&#8217;ve learned, was not someone that I would have liked. I would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just donated for the first time to Grassroot Soccer. As an ex Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV Cameroon 80-82) and life-long soccer player (I went to elementary school in London), this organization&#8217;s mission spoke to me.  Did I mention that while in Cameroon, I played 2nd division soccer?  BBat50.com
Here&#8217;s a video on YouTube about it.
