I lost track of who originally linked to what, so I can’t credit them properly. But thank you to whoever they all were, anyway! Filed under “another reason I’m proud to be a homeschooler”: California court rules that private school…
Have Any Homeschooling or Education Thoughts?
Today’s entry, Homeschooling High School in College?, is over at Academy Caritas. I expect to update there more regularly, now that we’re officially homeschooling again.
Homeschooling High School in College?
