		<title>The Tower of Babel and the Chiasmus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Genesis 11: 1-9 tells the story of how the people got together to build a wonderful tower for themselves. God saw that they were gathering glory for themselves, not for Him, and made it impossible for them to talk together and communicate easily.

		<title>Tips for Test Taking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Not every state requires that home schooled children be tested, so maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who don’t fall under a mandate.  However, if you happen to live in a state that does require it, you know how intense, stressful and overwhelming it can be for your children.

		<title>Parent/Teacher Conferences in the Home School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
There are countless differences between traditional school and home school, many of which we as home educators feel blessed not to have to participate in.  However, one difference which can actually prove to be quite beneficial to the home school family is the parent/teacher conference.

		<title>Avoiding Home School Burnout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
There is no argument that home school is a rewarding experience, both for us as educators and our children as students.

		<title>Teaching History Through Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Ask students which class is their least favorite, and many will tell you that history is the one they’d skip.
It doesn’t have to be that way. History, they may say, is dull and boring and all about memorizing names and dates. But actually, history is about people and the amazing things people have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Writing is an essential skill. While some worry that texting and instant messaging are causing our kids to lose their writing skills, the truth is that in the global marketplace, writing is a more essential skill than ever.

		<title>Daytime Curfew Laws</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ -by Mimi Rothschild
Your young children are studying together peacefully, helping each other circle the letter that finishes the word on a worksheet. The baby is asleep, and you’re checking an essay your teen wrote while he is out riding his bike for a while – a well-earned break between writing and algebra lessons.
A knock [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Health for the Homeschool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Many of us, homeschoolers or not, start the New Year with goals for healthier living. Homeschool families have some special challenges – and some special advantages, too. How can you increase your chances of success with your family’s 2009 health goals?

		<title>Gingerbread for Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
One of the benefits of homeschooling for Christian families is that we can keep Christ in Christmas, and certainly our studies at Christmastime should focus on Jesus, the reason for the season.
We can also enjoy the elements of our national Christmas celebration that have grown up with our country. One of these is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planning Study Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[-by Mimi Rothschild
Homeschool parents sometimes have a fantasy about their classrooms. “I’m going to make a schoolroom,” we say. We have it all planned: the bulletin board, the wall maps, the shelves for books, the cubbies we’ll build for the math manipulatives and board games.
