both of you are doing a gret job! knowing some women who read and love this book and it astounds me the things that are in there…i refused to read it when a friend offered it to me…i had already read TTUAC and a few of their articles in NGJ (the one about the wedding, which was beautiful till Michael started about not having marriage liscences) and i just knew that i would not agree with alot of what was in the book. i’m in agreement with alot of others that there are some downright dangersous things in here. as for the suggestion that some of us bring these things to Ms Pearl herself, well i think that would be a huge waste of time and energy, as they would probably ignore it, being the rebellious women that we are…;-)

Hi! Thanks for your insightful comment on my post about homeschooling programs thru the state. I was wondering, why do you see it as a negative to not be “legally” homeschooling? If you start a program like this, are you then obligated to continue with it, or can you pull your children out at any time? I do know that the law governing this group was changed this year and the amount of time is now left up to the local coordinators. The group I am considering is meeting 3 hours a week. As far as religious materials, no I would not be able to purchase Bible study curriculum. But she assured me that many people in the group, including her, purchase various curriculums, such as math or science, from Christian publishers, and that their right to do so has never been questioned, as long as they are academically up to par. Also, the group meets in a church. I don’t know about the drugs and peer pressure issues, except that parents are present and involved in the group activites, which is different than public school. I’m beginning to see that people have had very different experiences in groups like this depending on where they were located. Our town is fairly conservative (especially when compared to the rest of the state) so maybe that’s why I’m hearing such good things about this group. I’m still looking into it, haven’t made any decisions. I was just wondering if you could elaborate a little further.
