Parenting and Education
http://parentingandeducation.wordpress.com/
Do you wonder what's going on at your child's school? There is a whole lot more going on at schools now than the basic subjects of Math, English, and Science. Regardless of your opinions on these various programs, YOU, as the parent, have the right to know what is being taught. If you are like me, you receive tons of handouts and newsletters that don't really tell you anything. Research shows that parents who receive "effective and frequent" communication from schools are more involved. Well, the problem is that the schools are not very forthcoming on the specifics. So I've decided that I am no longer going to wait for the information, I'm going to go there and get it.
This blog is an outlet for my musings and observations of life with my children and our interactions with school, society, and other individuals.

Great sharing and Come see mine
I think this is a great blog. I feel that the best way to make sure your student is getting a proper Christian education, is to come right out and ask the administrators at the Christian School your child goes to do they use Christian Curriculum? Or are they using secular curriculum that is used in public schools. Make sure the curriculum they use comes from a Christian Publisher. A good example is at http://christiancurriculum.us
God Bless
