Recent CNN article on Homeschooling ~ NBHE

A recent homeschooling article on CNN from the originator of the National Black Home Educators...check it out.

Here's a clip.
"I learned many things during the first years of teaching my children. I didn’t realize the pressure we were under until we were set free of the educational “mess” of which they were part: The prepackaged curriculum, the one-size-fits-all model, the bullying and the negative socialization. Homeschooling allowed us to discover and experience pure, superior learning and a customized learning environment.
Some thought we were out of our minds. But, since then, my husband and I started an organization where parents are empowered to educate their children for excellence. The National Black Home Educators’ primary focus is to target African-Americans with the option of homeschooling. We also offer resources to parents of children that are still in the public and private schools, including learning materials that enable parents to engage in learning 30 minutes per day with their children at home."
