Requiescat in Pace, Praeceptor Meam

Posted by Editormum on 20 December 2015 in Uncategorized |

Rushing down the highway today, anxious that I would be late to his funeral, it suddenly hit me that, actually, I probably ought to be late. Just a couple of minutes. Sliding into a back pew, gasping for breath, and fumbling in my purse for a pen. Dr. Hazlewood would have expected it from me. […]

Life Lessons: Name Brand vs. Store Brand

Posted by Editormum on 16 March 2012 in Frugal Living, Just Another Single Mother |

As we’re on the way home from the movie tonight, I learn that #1 Son drank all the milk with his supper tonight. I was planning to use that milk to make pancakes tomorrow, so we need to stop and get some on our way home. I pull into the CashSaver near our house and […]

Student of the Year

Posted by Editormum on 4 January 2010 in Uncategorized |

This post is long overdue, because I couldn’t figure out how to write it without sounding like I’m bragging. And I still haven’t really figured it out. So I’m just going to tell it as it comes out of my brain to my fingers, and ask my readers to believe that I’m really and truly […]

Clarifying My Position on Educational Choices

Posted by Editormum on 14 August 2009 in Uncategorized |

I have been on somewhat of a homeschool kick this week, as it’s the beginning of the school year for most kids in this area and people keep asking my kids if they are back in school and where they go. We almost always get a double-take when we say that we home-school. After reading […]

Neglecting Literacy

Posted by Editormum on 13 August 2009 in Uncategorized |

I have read several articles lately that focus on the declining literacy rate and the problem that colleges have with high-schoolers who arrive on the college campus either unable to read, or with severely limited reading ability. I lay this problem solidly at the feet of the government educational system. Here’s why. Let’s start with […]

Does Home Schooling Mean I’m ‘Screwing Up’ My Kids?

Posted by Editormum on 12 August 2009 in Uncategorized |

The private message on yesterday’s post read: “You’ve got to be kidding ….I mean, if you want to isolate yourself from society and anyone that is just the least slight bit different from you, that’s OK. But why do you want to screw up your kids? Kids develop social skills by being around other kids […]

Why I Homeschool

Posted by Editormum on 11 August 2009 in Uncategorized |

I believe that God has entrusted me with my children and that He expects me to ensure that they are reared in the fear and admonition of the Lord as well as in those academic areas necessary to their success in their adult lives. I believe that God holds me responsible for every aspect of […]

Boys and School

Posted by Editormum on 10 August 2009 in Uncategorized |

I was interested to learn of a new book released in 2008, and to discover the author’s blog. I have long been concerned about what schools are doing to our little boys, and much of Peg Tyre’s writing confirms my fears and observations. What Ms. Tyre reports is one reason that I began home-schooling my […]

About Boys

Posted by Editormum on 18 June 2009 in Uncategorized |

Boys are delightful creatures. I don’t understand them, but I love them. I have two boys. And from my interactions with them, I can tell you that, for all that is said about how women’s minds work strangely and how incomprehensible women are, boys have got women beat by a country mile. An example. My […]

What My Parents Did Right

Posted by Editormum on 14 June 2009 in Uncategorized |

I hear too much talk these days about dysfunctional families; I am weary of listening to tale after tale of how someone’s parents failed to meet their child’s needs and thereby ruined the kid’s life. So here’s a tribute to my mom and dad. They weren’t perfect, but they sure came close. Mom and Dad […]
