This is the time of year for the annual Wizbang Blog Awards (think the Oscars for blogs). Last year 5+ homeschool blogs (several by NCFCA Alumni and HSD members) won awards in the various competitions, in which HSD members played a big part. This year, there's only one homeschool blog in any of the 45 categories: SpunkyHomeschool

Spunky (a.k.a. Mrs. Braun, a homeschooling mom from Michigan) has been nominated in the Best Educational blog category. She is currently trailing her two primary competitors—one a Ivy league news, gossip, and sex blog, and the other, a professor at Penn State—by 200 votes.

This wouldn't be so bad by itself—homeschoolers can accept defeat graciously—but both of these blogs, besides being exceedingly secular, are also exceedingly elitist. They seem to have a built in disdain for homeschoolers. A sampling of comments from their blogs:

Quote:

"The important thing is that IvyGate and I crush the homeschoolers."

"Homeschoolers suck!"

"And seriously, we do need to beat the cr*p out of those homeschool freaks."

For all these reasons, I'd like to encourage all of you to get behind SpunkyHomeschool and help vote her to victory. You are allowed to vote once a day (from every available computer) until the end of December 15th. For more information, click here.

(Voting ends today. (Friday) So get your vote in as fast as possible!)

Normal amounts of school is for the weak-minded. Us true school enthusiasts do no less than 5 days worth in a singe subject.

Advice for life:

If you plan on homeschooling, never give your kids curriculum that asks subjective questions and requires a specific answer. It will only make them angry, and make your job harder.

It's a new day. As the bible says (slightly paraphrased) "This is a day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it."

Be happy!

I went driving today. I can see why some people like to speed. Still.. Not for me.

Anyhow, I'm off. Have a great day!
