Ear Gate Update: On the drive down from Illinois I finished up R.C. Sproul Jr.'s When You Rise Up: Biblical Education. It's not as hard-hitting as their first basement tape on homeschooling, but it fleshes out the objective of homeschooling. It should be seen as discipling your children--this will drive your curriculum choices and emphasis on character vs. academics. The three guiding questions of the homeschool are, "Who is God?, What has He done?, What does He require of me?"
