Pi Day Celebration

March 14, 2019 Leave a Comment

What the heck is Pi Day? I heard about Pi Day for the first time in 2014 and I'm pleased that this four millennium old mathematical symbol has become so popular because I love math and want others to as well, but how did this happen and why has Pi become so popular? WHAT IS PI? Math is Fun tells us that Pi is the ratio (the number of times one amount is contained within … [Read more...] about Pi Day Celebration

What To Do About Toy Guns

February 8, 2018 Leave a Comment

Highly realistic toy guns, computer and video games of mass destruction, and soldier action figures are some of the most popular items in toy stores today. Do these war and weapon toys promote violence and aggression in children?

Diverse Children’s Books

November 26, 2016 Leave a Comment

Corporate Homeschooling

January 8, 2014 2 Comments

This year marks the thirty-eighth year I’ve been involved with homeschooling. When I look back on the last four decades, it’s been an amazing experience—not only for me personally, but for all of us involved in this profound educational movement. What has made the homeschooling movement most remarkable is that it was not guided by one charismatic leader or driven by a small gro … [Read more...] about Corporate Homeschooling

Inclusive Children’s Media

August 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

We are rapidly becoming a more racially diverse society. People of color now comprise 37% of our population. And, 49.9 % of children under five are children of color. By 2060, 57% of the US population will be people of color. What we now call minorities will be the majority. And, yet, our media does not reflect this diversity. While multi-cultural literature has grown from … [Read more...] about Inclusive Children’s Media
