Countless families are making the bold choice to educate their children at home, moving away from that one-size-fits-all approach that is so commonly seen in institutional schools. Whether you’ve already begun your homeschooling adventure and you’re looking to fine-tune things, or you’ve just started considering it for your family, the key to successful homeschooling is knowing your options and knowing your students. 

There is a whole world of different philosophies and methods for teaching out there. In Home Field Advantage, former public school teacher turned homeschooler Skyla King-Christison gives you a tour of the world of homeschooling, offering an overview of major educational philosophies, including the Montessori method, Waldorf education, Trivium, Charlotte Mason education, and unschooling. She also gives you a broad-based introduction to ideas like whole and part instruction, multiple intelligences, learning styles, and child temperament. Finally, she helps you understand how to put it all together in a tailored home education plan. Rather than tell you what your children need, Skyla helps you assess your children’s individual needs for yourself, showing you the variety of options you have to challenge your students throughout their homeschooling years.

Home Field Advantage features insights from Skyla’s training as a professional educator, her own everyday homeschooling experiences and epiphanies with her three children, and her illuminating interviews with over 15 families that successfully homeschool.

The Woman at the Bar ➳ Dinah Jane by arianagrandefandom

You are a high school senior that's pretty unenthusiastic that you have to go back for this last year. School isn't really your thing. You hate it. In fact, you're the farthest thing from a teachers pet. You're a teacher's worst nightmare. That's before you go to your first class of the day, English, and realize that for certain reasons, you may actually enjoy school this year. // Dinah Jane Hansen AU // Copyright © 2015 by arianagrandefandom

The Hours We Have by Mintessla

❝I think we've lost the meaning of family.❞ • • • A few years ago, we tragically lost our parents, and every day since then, my brothers and I have drifted apart. We have intense defense mechanisms and our own methods of survival in the adult world. Our house feels less like home, the city feels empty, and the stars seem more distant. Will we be able to heal as a family? Or will we go our separate ways as adults? ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ Cover is made by me.

From France to America: a Journey of Strength by Mlissa534070

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

He Was A Ten by n0n-binary_r0yalty

I don't know why I am the way I am. I just know that it's been this way ever since I was born. Paige Roberts was born with the ability to see numbers above everyone's head. These numbers showed how dangerous the person was on a scale of 1-10. So, a normal person would be a 1, while a trained assassin with an assault riffle would be more of a 7. What happens when the new kid at school turns out to be a ten? Paige may want to avoid this new kid at all costs, but looks like fate has other plans. So how will this end? When it comes to the most dangerous kid alive, who knows what's going to happen?

Behind that Smile | Editing by writingcrazed

Growing up in a large, middle-class (if not lower) family had its challenges. More than I can account for actually. I had five older sisters and two older brothers. Throw me into the mix and that's a grand total of eight children living under one roof. If my mom hadn't stopped with yours truly, we would have definitely been able to form an entire soccer team with just our family alone. I can't recall much of my childhood and exactly how I interacted with each and every one of my siblings, but I can assure you that it was nowhere near a nice walk through the park. Even until this very day, I still stand by my statement. This is a story about a broken girl who fools the world with one simple action which requires less than ten muscles. Then along comes a boy who knows very well what really lies behind that smile. thank you soooo much to dirtypalette for the beautiful cover <3

Yours Truly, Ramona by _nicolemiller

Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her. But she can't cope, she can't forgive, and she can only bend so many times before she breaks. - - Warning: This story deals with mature content that may be difficult for some to read, such as self-harm, suicide, drug use, abuse, depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - adopted |#1| - fosterkid |#1| - fostercare |#1| - foster |#1| - suicideawareness |#1| - recovery |#1| - comingofage |#1| - mentalillness |#1| - strength |#2| - adoption

Seduced by the Alphas by Xonereth

You can read the uncut version of this book over on https://archiveofourown.org/works/61769338 Life could be so unfair, everyone adored my big sister Ava, yes everyone. Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.
