| | I stink at maintaining balance. |  | |
~Deborah
TOS Magazine.
Some of you have it all together (totally not fair!), but I stink at maintaining balance. I can easily be overwhelmed with homeschooling, working part time, mothering full time, and ministering all the time. I have lamented to my husband, "I can't make it all happen. I can't be all things to all people. I just can't do it anymore."

HLA grants its own high school diploma. Therefore, our requirements are set by HomeLife Academy and not by an outside state education agency such as the T.N. Department of Education or any other state department. We are proud of our graduates in Colleges/Universities all over the country. We are equally proud of our grads now in jobs serving people and in homes serving families.

| | Teaching the Heart by Lani Carey |  |
We ALL want our kids to FALL in LOVE homeschooling!! Here is a great audio by Lani Carey about how to Teach the Heart!
This workshop covers the following:
~Teaching for Thoughtfulness ~Producing Leaders, not Followers ~Getting Back to a Truly Classical Education ~Empowering the High Schooler |
| | Fall in Love with Homeschooling! |  |
Be sure to remember this is all about the kids. Don't try to keep up with the Jones'. The statistics are true not because everyone is doing the same thing. On the contrary, homeschooling works because kids and parents are set free. Listen to your heart and ask God for guidance everyday. Concentrate on developing "A Heart for Learning" (article by HLA founder, David Parkerson) and remember "You Can't Get an Education from School Books" (by John Taylor Gatto). And FALL in love with Homeschooling! |
