2. AD: Want to Review Time4Learning?
Parents like hearing feedback from other parents. And although Time4Learning strives to provide families with as much information as possible, sometimes hearing about our program from those who use it can help in the decision making process. It also helps us stay current with the wants and needs of our members.
Time4Learning wants to know what you've got to say about our curriculum. Check out our review options for both new and current members, here.

4. FUN: Why am I homeschooling? Oh, yeah.
 For those bad days when you wonder why you are bothering to homeschool. Click here to see the other 10 "great reasons" and to join tens of thousands who have smiled at these fun 20 cartoon "reasons to homeschool."
And here are a few more great reasons to homeschool.
Your child can chew his breakfast pastry into whatever shapes he likes without getting suspended.
Homeschool: where boys can be boys and girls can have "Hello, Kitty" bubble guns without getting suspended. (Actually, that 5-year-old didn't even have a "Hello, Kitty" bubble gun - she was just talking about maybe getting one and comparing it to a princess bubble blower. For that, she got 10 days suspension - and had to meet with a counselor - for making a "terrorist threat"!
Now, aren't you glad you homeschool? :)
