Why Homeschool

Mission statement: On this blog we explore why homeschooling can be a better option for children and families than a traditional classroom setting. We'll also explore homeschooling issues in general, educational thoughts, family issues, and some other random stuff.

Online education from Berkeley

As I've mentioned before I think there will be a fundamental shift in higher education over the next ten years. The price of a university degree continues to climb twice as fast as inflation. The economic benefits of getting a certificate are getting less and less each day.

Online education is one of the forces which will alter how people get an education. More and more content is being made freely available.

Berkeley has put some of their courses online! If you have teenagers you might have them check out some of these courses.

It seems to be working now.

Lisa, if it still fails for you, could you tell me what you see?
