Texas CPS Denies Foster Child Right to Home School
 
tim

On June 13 Tim Lambert wrote a letter supporting a Kerrville family's request for a waiver to homeschool their foster child.  Despite numerous expert recommendations to the contrary, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services has denied the family's request. In a second letter in August, Mr. Lambert cites those experts and state law in urging the department to reverse its decision.

High Schoolers' Activities
High Schoolers in the Support Group
 
by Becky Preble

How many high school students are involved in activities with your local home school support group?  Think about your last field trip. Were there mostly toddlers and elementary-age students in attendance?  Field trips to the library, bakery, zoo, and dairy farm are great for the younger set but have probably outlived their effectiveness for the junior-high- and high-school-age students.  By the time my eldest daughter was in sixth grade, she could almost give the tour at the dairy farm and petting zoo that our support group had visited for three years in a row.  While she loved all the animals, I could see that it was time to start thinking about other types of activities that would be more age appropriate to the growing number of junior high school students in our group.
