The Pole, Pedal, Paddle in Jackson Hole is definitely an iconic spring event, however it's just one of many classic events and activities that take place in Jackson year round. Visit JacksonHoleWY.com to learn more!

Charlotte Mason (a British educator from the previous century) was a big thinker who had a very high view of children. So let me start out by saying that I don't believe anyone could ever fit Charlotte Mason's ideas, methods and philosophies into an actual nutshell (I just thought it made a good title for this article). Miss Mason's ideas were so broad and far reaching, it took six large volumes to contain her writings on just the topic of education. With that said, here's a very brief overview of a handful of Charlotte Mason's most familiar ideas.

Hi Karen
Thanks for visiting my site. My kids are little now (1.5 and 3) but I hope to homeschool them. I guess technically, I am doing it now since we read, learn letters, phonics, numbers etc. The trick is going to be changing my husband's perspective on homeschooling.

By the way, you might enjoy my other website: YourWildChild. I write about ways to connect kids and nature and a lot of the activities can be used in homeschooling.

What a balanced article! I too was a public school teacher and had to unlearn everything I was taught in college to teach my five kids at home. My degree probably hindered me more than it helped.

Thank you also for noting that colleges are actually recruiting homeschool students. We found that to be the case with our son. He was awarded a sizable scholarship at a private university. This particular school had hired a homeschool admissions counselor whose job it was to recruit homeschool students.

I liked your post, but have to correct you a bit. I don't think Reality Bites portrayed Xers as Slackers. It portrayed them as survivors. And Winona picked the "artist" over the "capitalist" in the end.

Hey there, would you happen to know which of Montana's microbreweries opened first? Thanks!
