Homeschooling! Now What?

Embarking on the path to educational independance (aka - homeschooling)? After you have bought all of you books and used them, then what? Can't afford to buy new but children have moved on to the next grade? These are all valid questions and I know where to find the answers to them.

As a homeschooler of 22 years and eight children, I amassed quite a few 'used" textbooks, curriculums, readers, workbooks, and answer keys. How do I move them out and recover some of their value to purchase new? I found http://homeschoolbookswap.com. This site is a free e-classified site that allows you to list, sell or find curriculum materials. This piece of information is free because I care.

Need new but want it at a good price? Then I suggest http://Christian-Books-Online.org for the best prices on new books, software.

Need a in home Christian business opportunity? Then I suggest http://johnsturer.com for information on how to own your own bookstore, saving you tons of money and allowing new sources of income.

All this information about in home business opportunities andways to sell your homeschoolbooks comes from a homeschool parent and survivor.

Socialization

As a longtime homeschooler (over 22 years) I am frequently asked if my children are deprived of socialization. I alway respond that they don't know my children because if they did, the questioner would be pleasantly shocked at their social skills. The typical homeschooler developes children that are balanced and know how to interact with adults. This will be where they spend their lifetime - interacting with other adults - working with adults, etc. No, homeschoolers aren't deprived. They learn life long skills from their parents, their religious leaders. Public school socialization results in over exposure to drugs, sex and petty things.
