Spring is the perfect time to get out in nature and discover the beauty and science found in flowers. Flowers may seem like they are merely for aesthetic beauty, but smart homeschoolers know that without flowers, our entire ecosystem would collapse. What a wonderful God we serve, who provides us with a necessary element of creation that is so beautiful at the same time!

Stupid in America

Miscellaneous

John Stossel’s “Stupid in America” special is available on YouTube. Almost a half million people have watched it. You owe it to yourself to check out this landmark documentary that has sparked tremendous controversy. 

It’s not a new documentary.  However, the message bears repeating. It’s a great way to tell someone why you homeschool without saying a word.  Just send them this handy link and watch the arguments fall apart.

I’ve seen this video numerous times, and every single time it makes me nearly bang my head against the wall at the sheer blindness of public school administrators.
