Washington Times Op-ed: Courts Back Families on Searches Recently, a homeschooling family had this experience with government officials. A 15-year-old homeschooled boy went to a police station and complained about his adoptive parents. The police and social services interviewed the boy about the restrictions his parents placed on him, including not being able to have a cell phone or a truck, and denying his request to attend public school. But it didn't end there. Read more about it at: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=3169 ..................................................................... 2.

Homeschooling Thru High School: ROTC Benefits If your child is interested in a military career after high school, consider the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). ROTC benefits include tuition scholarships at colleges around the country.

Helpful ROTC FAQs are available from the College Board as well as from the specific branches of the military.

This week, Mike Smith talks with a homeschool graduate about her parents' positive influence, and a homeschooling parent team who share what discipleship means in their family.
