I teach general music and chorus at a 3rd and 4th grade school in McComb, MS. I have received your e-zine now for several weeks and love passing the information on to my 13 yr. old daughter. Although she is not home-school, I do enrich her learning at home with those things I know she is not getting at school.

What I wanted to tell you is that I am turning in your information in to the administrators at our school in hopes that you would be able to come and do a workshop either for the teachers of the district and/or the parents duing our Parents Academy night.

We live in a district where probably 96% of the students live at or below the poverty line. The district is soon to have its first Parent Academy. We are currently trying to get them more involved in their children’s education. It is a very hard thing to do in this area. I believe that is because they don’t believe they can do appropriate learning skills with their children when they are unable to do the skills themselves. It is really unfortunate.

I believe your Carschooling program will spark a genuine interest in these parents. It is also filled with ides that can be used at home, on a walk, or anywhere their imagination can take them. Also, I believe there is a great advantage to some for informaation to come out of a new mouth instead of the same one that harps all the time. It will probably be next fall before they decide anything, but I truly hope that our school district here in McComb can invite you to be part of our Parent Academy or the teacher’s Education Celebration in August.

Due to my own finances, I am unable to purchase the carschool book right now, but I am printing out some of the information to send to the administrators this afternoon! I am so excited about this!!
