Description from homeschooloasis.com
True education is so much more than mere academics! And until we understand what it really is, we will operate out of fear rather than wisdom.
In this workshop Barb will help you discern ~ and follow ~ the voice of the Lord for your own family over the many loud voices of the world. With vulnerability and humor, she offers much spiritual and practical encouragement, research, examples, and scripture verses that will release you from fear and intimidation of homeschooling through high school and help keep you from missing out on God's richest blessings for you and your student!
My points of impact:
If you want your husband to read something, bless him by highlighting the parts you want him to read. This way, he does not have to go through the whole book (unless he loves to read.)
Listen to the voice of the Lord over the voices of the world.
What the public school system values is far different than what the Lord values.
The foundation of education is faith, then virtue, then knowledge.
