Truth! Homeschooling is not “school at home” or trying to replicate traditional school at home. Rather, it is soooo much more!! It’s about relationships and nurturing the whole person. 💙

Calling all LDers and those interested in diving into LD Debate! We're still accepting applications for our LD Debate Boot Camp, happening next Tuesday, 8/1 - Thursday, 8/2, with options for both in-person and online attendees.

This year's resolution is a FANTASTIC opportunity to stretch those philosophical LD debate skills -- rationalism vs. empiricism!

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Do you have a student interested in learning more about Lincoln-Douglas Value Debate? Is your student considering competitive speech and debate? Our family has been part of competitive speech and debate the last 7 years and we all would definitely put it at the top of our homeschool list! Competitive speech and debate has helped my boys hone their critical thinking skills, increased their confidence, strengthened their public speaking abilities beyond anything they get in a classroom, deepened their faith, and fostered lifelong friendships.

📅 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝟴/𝟭 - 𝟴/𝟯 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗖𝗙𝗖𝗔 𝗟𝗗 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽! This year's NCFCA LD resolution is "Rationalism should be valued above empiricism." This is a fantastic resolution to strengthen a student's logic, ethical values, and philosophy skills!

You've probably heard by now the rumblings of an impending UPS strike. Looking at recent reports, this will likely happen beginning 8/1. If UPS does strike, this will negatively affect ~25-30% of deliveries nationwide! 😬 The last UPS Teamster strike happened in 1997 and lasted 15 days (https://abcnews.go.com/Business/potential-ups-teamsters-strike/story?id=100793059). Given that most of our communities start back up in August, this strike could have a direct impact on families who've not yet ordered their books receiving them in time for the beginning of community. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱, 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 to ensure you have your student's books in time for the start of community! 📚
