		<title>K12 Education in the States &#8211; The Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking to update my numbers and understanding of the big picture on education on the States.  If anyone wants to help me ferret out the most authoritative sources for this data, I&#8217;d be obliged.  In all the talk about the Census, I&#8217;m surprised that I haven&#8217;t heard anything about them asking about the type [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video Games, Education,</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article about &#8220;education should be like video games&#8220;  which of course I&#8217;m in rampant agreement with so long as the right lessons are learned from the video game industry, not the wrong ones. 
First, Clayton Christianson and Michael Horn,   welcome to the party. We like the exposure that you bring, you are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Frustration of Teaching Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For many homeschool parents, teaching writing is a major source of frustration and friction.  Why?  For starters, there&#8217;s the question of their parents&#8217;   ambitions for them.  Many homeschooling moms planned and dreamed about how they would mold their children&#8217;s mind by teaching them in two big areas: a love of reading and of writing.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Race to the Top &#8211; Any Homeschoolers Invited?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I largely salute the Obama administration&#8217;s approach to education although I don&#8217;t like the overly simplistic approach to teacher rating based on test scores.  It&#8217;s just too simple and statistically meaningless. 
I&#8217;m very curious if any of the states submissions for Race to the Top Funds included any meaningful effort to include innovations on education using [...]]]></description>

Disrupting Class

I&#8217;ve now read most of Clayton Christensen&#8217;s book and my initial thoughts were mostly right. The ideas in the book are not new to me. I am in rampant agreement with them.
Where I missed in my somewhat blase approach to the book is what an exciting and illuminating read it is. I find it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disrupting Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few times a year, I focus on getting caught up in the latest thinking in education.  Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m finding:
Disrupting Class is a book (and blog) by a HBS Professor, apparently the same who wrote the Disruptive Technology Business Book. I just ordered it and am excited. But, from listening to the interview, I fear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Curriculum &#8211; What Curriculum?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post might disappoint or surprise you, I&#8217;m not promoting any curriculum here, not Abeka, not Time4Learning, nor Saxon.  What&#8217;s on my mind is the question of what curriculum should be?  Should our kids  learn about subatomic particles as part of their education but not how to build a house or how a flush toilet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homeschool Parent Support Groups</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time4Learning is doing something very cool. They&#8217;ve organized a state support group for each state. Essentially, they&#8217;ve provided a single venue for the potential and new homeschoolers that are looking to make contact and have a discussion about how it works in their state.  It&#8217;s very friendly, go introduce yourselves. There is a both a [...]]]></description>

		<title>SpellingCity adds student records</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit that I think SpellingCity.com is just coolest site.  I register for free and save word lists connected not just to spelling (actually, we don&#8217;t have spelling as a topic in my homeschool program) but related to literature, geography, history, math, science, and ethics. Also, holidays!  I can have my kids take tests, play [...]]]></description>
