 Homeschooling

with Shannon Shogren, and Ward and Karrie Fenley

In this discussion, Shannon, Ward and Karrie addressed some concerns new homeschoolers typically have about educating their children.  We discussed how home education is different from "school at home."  Some specific topics covered were developing a radically different attitude toward education, dealing with different learning styles, learning not to compare your children's academic progress with others, and incorporating education into everyday activities.  Special emphasis was given to providing a solid, Biblical foundation in all aspects of home education.

Deuteronomy 6: 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
