Education > Homeschooling Is homeschooling better than formal education?: 57 of 67
I attended public school for kindergarten and then my family moved and we were zoned for a school district with the lowest test scores in the state. My parents made the tough decision to homeschool me, committing only to one year at a time. As a Junior in highschool I began researching and applying to colleges, and got accep... More..
Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics When is abortion legitimate?: 6 of 7
I do not expect my views on this to be very popular on a site that is run by popularity, but abortion is justified when it is preformed by the woman's body without outside help. Confused?

Education > Homeschooling Homeschooling as an option: 14 of 16

While the nature of the problem is highly debated, there is a growing community who have found their own solution - schooling their children at home. I myself am a product of that community, and as a testament to th... More..

Celebrations & Holidays > Weddings (Other) How to survive wedding dramas: 7 of 8
The music swells as the doors open and everyone stands. In walks the bride on her fathers arm, bringing tears to everyone's eyes. Like a dream, she walks down the isle, when suddenly, she trips- her bouquet flying down the isle ahead of her, while she lands in a heap in her skirts. Every bride-to-be's worst nightmare. If she...

The Narrow Path I walk upon the trail of narrow good, And hear the songbirds sing sweet melody. I come across a man named Parody, Who veers off on a wider path through wood, Not feeling very safe without the hood. He dealt harsh blows to us dishonestly. But when he found his way to glory be, His dealings from the past before... More..

Jobs & Careers > Occupations (Other) Your dream job: 29 of 32
If you could do anything, what would it be? My dad raised me on that question, and subsequently I believed that I could do anything I wanted if I just tried hard enough. He would always give his example of a woman who loved going to all inclusive resorts so she spent a year visiting every resort she could, then putting toget... More..
Education > Reading & Writing Skills Creating opportunities for children to explore creative writing: 12 of 13
Getting a child to write may seem like torture. Many children simply do not like to write, for one reason or another.

Unfortunately for those children, the ability to write cle... More..

Dine With Me Instead of yelling on tables, Come down and dine, Why are you pointing fingers? Why are you screaming in anger?
