A Beka \nwww.abeka.com \n\n\nAre you considering homeschooling? \nWill your children believe in Jesus when they graduate from high school?\nHomeschooled: 94%\nPublic Schooled: 15%\n\n94% of homeschoolers keep the faith and 93% continue to attend church after the high school years. But a shocking 75% to 85% of Christian children sent to public school drop out of church, and do not hold a Christian worldview after high school graduation.4\n\n"I think it's time to get our kids out."\n- Dr. James Dobson, Focus on the Family5\n\nThe most important reason for you to homeschool is for the sake of your child’s soul.\n\nThere has never been a better time to homeschool.\nNever before have parents had access to such a wealth of educational resources and technology for home education. And, Christian homeschool support groups abound, offering parents a helping hand in homeschooling. \n\nThere is an abundance of extra-curricula activities for homeschoolers to participate in, with opportunities for wholesome friendships and real-life learning experiences.\n\nHomeschoolers avoid harmful school environments where God is mocked, where destructive peer influence is the norm, where drugs, alcohol, promiscuity and homosexuality are promoted, and where school violence is on the rise.\n\nBy grade eight, the average homeschooled student performs four grade levels above their public and private school counterparts.1\n\nA background in teaching is not necessary; in fact, "home educated students' test scores remained between the 80th and 90th percentiles, whether their mothers had a college degree or did not complete high school."2\n\n"The best way to light our world is to be distinct from the darkness, and homeschooling certainly helps to set us apart from the worldly culture in which we live. I have had more opportunities to share the gospel because I was homeschooled than I ever would have had in a public school." \n- Israel Wayne, Author\nHomeschooling from a Biblical Worldview\n\nHow to get started homeschooling...\nIt is natural to feel uncertain when you begin. Pray and trust God for the confidence you need. Get the support of other believers by contacting the homeschool organization like Abeka. Its the best around. \n\nKeep your young ones home and out of preschool which disrupts family bonding, teaches inconsistent discipline, and exposes children to harmful peer behavior.\n\nAvoid government homeschooling programs such as "charter schools" and public school independent study programs. These government programs usurp the father’s God-given headship over the family and focus the homeschool on humanist goals and curriculum.\n\nDiscover the blessings of private Christian homeschooling – your children will appreciate your caring efforts. In fact, a recent study found that 95% of the homeschool graduates surveyed were glad that they were homeschooled.3\n\n"The only realistic way to fulfill the Biblical mandate to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord is to homeschool in the current culture." \n- Mike Smith, President\nHome School Legal Defense Association\n\nWhat does God say about education?\nHomeschooling is the most Biblical form of education. God addresses parents, not government employees, as the educators of their own children:\n\n"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."\n- Deuteronomy 6:6-7\n\n"All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."\n- Isaiah 54:13\n\n"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."\n- Proverbs 22:6\n\nJesus said: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher,

If you want to connect with other home school families I have found the library is a great place to start. Talk to the librarians. Most of the time they will know of the home school families. They may have a contact name and/or number. If you are concerned about social skills get them involved in activities and church. \nIf you are looking for curriculum do a search and start researching what would be best for you children. Also try EBay to help with the budget.

I went to homeschool.com\n\nThey have a getting started kit, that includes a book with guidelines for the laws in every state and information on the different options you have for homeschool education - working with a local school, interenet curriculums, unschooling, you name it. \n\nThere are lots of these types of organizations out there to help our growing population of homeschoolers.  In my state, California, they even have a California Home School Group\n(http://californiahomeschool.net/default.htm)  You might have something similar in your area.\n\nPeace!
