Kim's Korner- August 2008
kim.turner@wwche.org


Each year the state of Georgia hosts two annual homeschool conferences. One is held in May and is sponsored by GHEA which is the Georgia Homeschool Educators Association and the other one known as the SE Homeschool Expo is held in July and is sponsored by Georgia Homeschool. We are fortunate to live in a state that has very relaxed laws and requirements for homeschoolers (you may visit www.ghea.org for more information on Georgia’s homeschool laws). There are also several support groups available in our state that varies in focus from academic support to legal support. There is also a tremendous amount of diversity in curriculum to choose from as well. The Wisdom’s Way Board of Directors recognizes each family has their own God given responsibility to choose the curriculum and schedule that best suits their needs. We also understand that choosing curriculum can be both overwhelming and expensive. One of the benefits of being a part of a sup-port group such as Wisdom’s Way is to glean from other members about current homeschool topics, events, and curriculum. Within the past couple of years the government has offered parents a curriculum program with the option to homeschool at home while partnering with local schools to pro-vide free materials for their at home school room. This program is known as K12 or Georgia’s Virtual Academy.

On behalf of the Wisdom’s Way Board of directors, we felt the responsibility to provide Wisdom’s Way families with the opportunity to have access to a DVD provided by GHEA and released by the National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leadership entitled Exposing a Trojan Horse. The purpose of the video is to provide insight and education to those families that are considering government funded school-at-home programs. Wisdom’s Way is not endorsing this curriculum; we simply want to provide our members with a chance to learn more about future ramifications of this government-funded program. can visit www.ghea.org to view a trailer of the video and for further interest please contact Kim Turner, Wisdom’s Way President at kim.turner@wwche.org  to borrow the video.

Blessings,
Kim Turner
President,  Wisdom's Way Christian Home Educators
