Benjamin Bennett
Benjamin B. Bennett is a Full-Time Dad, Husband
and a fair to middling parent of four.
Ben is also, from time to time, a freelance
writer, web spinner, photographer and accidental farmer. ("I'm
an Autodidactic Farmer, actually. At this moment I'm trying to
figure out chickens... which for all I can tell, are stupid. The
jury is still out on them, but not for long....as the knives are
sharpening.")
Ben moderates and consults on several alternative
education e-mail discussion lists and web sites. His education
consulting company, Bennett
and Company works with IndianaHomeschoolers,
IndianaCharterSchoolers
and AltEdDiscourse
-- A Forum on Alternative Education Issues. He is the founder
of The Alternative Educators'
Network and Project Coordinator for the IHEN
Web Project: Helping Hoosiers Homeschool since the turn of
the century.
Though he personally homeschools his children,
he supports the sovereign right of all parents to responsibly
and thoughtfully choose any form of education they see fit for
their family. He does not believe that parents need to be forced
by the state to educate their children any more than they need
to be forced to feed and clothe them.
Ben reads and responds to reasonable and thoughtful
e-mail at BenBennett@altednet.org
where good Karma is returned in kind. Good humor is always appreciated.
Life's too short to gripe.
As always:
Your mileage may vary
Objects may appear closer than they really are.
Check your mirrors, buckle-up. :-)
- "Education is an admirable thing, but
it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is
worth knowing can be taught."

The Deb End for the monthly IHEN
Journal. Archives of her
past essays can be found on this web site.
Deb is also an "Internet Author,"
having written her first book about her experiences as a homeschooler.
"Okay Kids, Time
for Bedlam" is a hilarious look about homeschooling
and a must-read for any homeschooling parent who has just had
enough stress for today. After reading Time for Bedlam, you'll
realize that you didn't have it so bad after all.

is where you'll find the book in PDF format, ready to download.

Meg Leader
IÕm a homeschooling mom of two kids. WeÕve
been at this since 1999 and it never stops running out of control.
IÕm a mid-40ish, college educated professional,
that put it all aside to raise our kids. While it may have taken
me a couple of years to accept calling myself a ŌhomemakerÕ, IÕve
never regretted the decision to stay home.
IÕm a non-religious, liberal homeschooler, so
donÕt be surprised if my views donÕt match yours. Personally,
I think that what makes us all homeschoolers gives us more in
common than any differences of opinions on other subjects.
My blog, Get
In Hang On, features 4 main characters: Myself, Hubby, Boy
(Our son born in 1990). Girl (Our daughter born in 1994).
