Update for Why Homeschool College?

I see I gave you a broken link in my last post—to my own web page on Homeschooling College! Well, they say you do get your mind back, after your kids are grown up, so maybe there is hope for me yet, eventually. Here’s the corrected link: http://www.eaglesnesthome.com/unit.htm#topic5

We certainly don’t claim to have all the answers, and we’re prayerfully considering these issues regarding college for our family. Is there really an agenda in mainstream education to change the hearts and minds of Christian youth against the hearts of their fathers? Decide for yourself. See books such as "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth" and "Freefall of the American University."

Read more about the issues surrounding Christians in college, and the college at home option, at http://www.patriarch.com/college@home.html . Need to see more specific details about the often decadent modern college culture? Check out examples at http://www.collegeprowler.com/about_the_guides.asp. Parents—you can check out what you’re getting for your money. As the site puts it, “College Prowler has quotes from students about drugs on campus, Greek life, diversity, campus strictness and many other categories that don't usually pop up in traditional college guides. These quotes and categories are here to provide a helpful assessment of what's really happening on each campus.”

Are public middle and high school textbooks accurate and unbiased? Check out your kid’s textbooks:

All the more reason to consider Homeschooling high school and even college. You can save money and time, and pick your choice of textbooks. You can give your child a range of views, instead of the often unbalanced, one-sided liberal university view that has become prevalent.
