Home School Corner: Back to School Traditions

Home School Corner "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address."

Read on for some of her insight and testimony of home school! Me: When were you homeschooling and why did you decide to homeschool your kids? Stacey: We started homeschooling in 1991.
