“It was a dark and stormy night…”
Snoopy used to always start out his novels with this phrase, but for homeschoolers just starting out, it hits a little too close to home!
Deciding to homeschool your child, for whatever reason, can be a scary prospect. Especially when the decision has had to be made abruptly because of health difficulties or problems with the child’s current school, the weight of suddenly being an accidental homeschooler can feel “dark and stormy” indeed.
Homeschooling had been the last thing on my mind the summer that I signed my oldest son up for kindergarten. But within weeks of registering him, he had developed a rare infection of the brain that weakened his immune system and made going to school an impossibility. So I scrambled all through the summer trying to find out information on homeschooling - - what were the legal requirements, what types of curricula was available, what the lingo and abbreviations meant.
I would have given anything for a simple users guide that gave me all the important information I needed in one concise place. Fortunately, new homeschoolers today don’t have to just wish for such a thing. Thanks to Time4Learning, anyone can access a wonderful free manual for new homeschoolers called
This comprehensive guide will give you insights into the laws, the methods, the choices, the scheduling, and the resources that will help you most as you begin your homeschooling journey. Instead of having to search blindly across the internet, or listen to twenty different pieces of advice from twenty different homeschooling acquaintances, the information you are looking for is all in one easily-downloadable document.
Homeschooling doesn’t have to be scary - - or “dark and stormy.” All you need is a little guidance and the desire to succeed.
So let me be the first to say…”Welcome to Homeschooling!”
