Learning All the Time: John Holt
Learning All the Time
by John Holt
In clear, direct language, Learning All the Time describes the crucial difference between learning (making sense of the world) and education (being forced to digest and regurgitate what someone else dictates). Without vitriol, John Holt exposes how our children are harmed more than helped by institutional schools.

Michigan Home School Families Under Attack - Posted 03/27/08
After 12 years of relative peace for home schoolers in Michigan, 24 Democrats have cosponsored HB5912 that will force new reporting requirements on home school families. According to the language of the bill, the right to home school will "exist only if the child's attendance is appropriately reported to public school officials." The bill requires parents to report the names, ages and address of all their homeschooled children at the beginning of each school year to their local school district or intermediate school district.

Urgent Call to Action: Michigan Homeschoolers!
2008 House Bill 5912. Introduced by Rep. Brenda Clack on March 19, 2008, would require the parents of children who are homeschooled to submit the local school intermediate school district at the beginning of each year the name and age of each child who is being educated in the home, and the name and address of each parent or legal guardian.
