Homeschooling On N P R

Feb 26-28: National Public Radio will be turning the ears of the nation toward homeschooling!

Beginning Monday, February 26, and continuing through Wednesday, February 28, National Public Radio's program "All Things Considered" will look at homeschooling through the lives of three families in three different American cities. This story is part of "The Changing Face of America" series and will be told through the actual words of the family members.

Sean Collins, a senior producer for NPR News, followed three homeschooling families for several days, recording their activities and conversations. He chose families with diverse approaches to homeschooling to give listeners a sense of the breadth of the homeschooling community, including: An Indiana family that homeschools primarily for religious reasons using a structured approach, A Texas family that homeschools in order to meet the special educational needs of their child, and An Oregon family that homeschools because it allows them to use the whole community as their classroom.

you can listen to it on the website www.npr.org

I know about this!! The Texas guy who homeschools is my brother's best friend! :) And they came to my mom's Middle East class and taped us! But we aren't in there! Even though we had a really good discussion that day! Oh well! It's still so cool! - Emma
