Advocates of Home Schooling Closely Watch Missouri Divorce Case

Big News
"A divorce case out of St. Charles County is getting swept up in a debate over homeschooling because a judge could decide whether a mother can still educate her two teenagers at home.
 
"Lisa Payne-Naeger and her husband, Jeff, are divorcing. She has been homeschooling the couple's 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter for several years. Jeff Naeger wants to enroll the children in private school."

Wade Hulcy
 
As football season rolls around again this time of year, many parents are confronted with the prospect of having practice and games encroach on the family schedule in a significant way. As my wife Jessica used to say, "You receive a card in the mail from the YMCA that says, 'Soccer or T-Ball sign-ups are next Saturday.' You realize that if you do not respond immediately, your child will never get to play on a team with his friends for the rest of his life. What you may not know is that you are signing away the next four months of your life by sending that card back in!"
