Question With Boldness

Posted on June 25th, 2013 :: 6:08 amJune 24th, 2013 :: 5:45 pm by Greg

Though most people nowadays can conceive of no better poster child for agnosticism (or, at the very least, deism), Jefferson himself may have had a bone to pick with such people. In a letter to his nephew, on the topic of forming his own views on religion (a topic which he labeled “important”), Thomas Jefferson…

It’s Raining Diamonds!

Posted on February 8th, 2013 :: 9:25 amFebruary 7th, 2013 :: 9:11 pm by Greg

One topic of study currently in the Campbell home is astronomy. Mom and most of the children are part of a home schoolers co-op that go through science curriculum together, and this year’s topic for the middle kids is the science of space. (My favorite! Our kids had a leg up on everyone else as…

Rick Boyer on Government Schools

Posted on June 10th, 2012 :: 8:31 am by Greg

I am currently reading a book along with my son, Ian, called Take Back The Land, by Rick Boyer. Mr. Boyer is a home schooling superstar. If you home school, chances are you are already familiar with him. (If you’re not familiar with the book, I highly recommend it—and I’m only a few chapters in!)…

Education

Posted on February 22nd, 2012 :: 3:40 pm by Greg

I’ve had education on my mind again recently. There are certainly many ideas that word conjures up… some good, some bad. But I think we might have a skewed—or even wrong—understanding of it. As you may have read in yesterday’s post (and noticed from the time of day of today’s post), I am focusing on…

American Values

Posted on October 15th, 2010 :: 12:38 pm by Greg

At the ReValue America lecture we hosted last weekend, one of the themes was of course, “Values”. During the presentation, the speaker—Dr. Shanon Brooks—took a moment to ask everyone there what some “American values” were. Various words were quickly offered: Honor. Courage. Bravery. Love. Friendship. Hard work/work ethic. Faith. Charity/Generosity. Probably about 20 or 30…

Desegmentation

Posted on May 13th, 2010 :: 10:28 am by Greg

Have you noticed how compartmentalized we tend to view life? While there certainly is truth to the “time and a place for everything” there is also the truth to “in everything moderation.” But for whatever reason (honestly, I would like to investigate this further and discover the root cause or causes) there is a very…

Genius

Posted on April 23rd, 2010 :: 9:25 amJanuary 10th, 2012 :: 9:00 am by Greg

Greatness isn’t the work of a few geniuses, it is the purpose of each of us. It is why we were born. Every person you have ever met is a genius. Every one. Some of us have chosen not to develop it, but it’s there. It is in us. All of us. It is in…

Institutional vs. Relational … and The World of Pretend

Posted on September 18th, 2009 :: 4:57 pm by Greg

I’ve really been thinking a lot recently on institutional vs. relational life. Some might argue with me that that’s too limiting, that there are more than two ways to live life with other people… but so far, I’m feeling like almost everything I’m seeing falls into one of those two categories. It’s kinda crazy! It…

Different View of Education

Posted on April 1st, 2009 :: 10:58 pmFebruary 22nd, 2012 :: 3:35 pm by Greg

Last night—after much scheming and manipulating of time and space—we were able to attend a curriculum event for a home school group of which we are members. The event offered parents a chance to share curriculum they use, why they use it, and learn from other parents as each shared what worked—and doesn’t work—for them….

A Subtle Difference

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 :: 6:53 am by Greg

In a conversation with a friend yesterday regarding home schooling, I described our thinking on the matter in a way I don’t think I have previously. You may recall from previous posts here that to us, home school is not school at home, but more a philosophy… a way of educating. It’s learning from every…
