Maine has a diverse landscape that boasts rugged mountains and rocky coastlines. It has a reputation for being a tourist magnet, but Maine also has a rich homeschool history. Homeschool pioneer families in Maine began their fight for religious and educational liberty in the late 1970s. Those of us who have reaped from their faithful pursuit are grateful for their persistence. In 2003, a homeschooling bill was passed that eased the harsh requirements for homeschooling families and made homeschooling in Maine very attainable.

Did you know Helen Keller was homeschooled in Alabama? Due to an early childhood illness, she lost her sight and hearing. Helen was homeschooled by a private tutor, Ann Sullivan. Because of Helen Keller's home education, she was the first woman to earn a bachelor's degree who was also blind and deaf. From the time of Helen Keller's homeschooling in the early 1900s to 2014, when the state passed an updated legislature to be more accommodating to homeschooling families, to today, the resources and opportunities in Alabama for homeschooling families have grown.

Homeschooling. You wrap up your school year. Sometimes you already have next year's curriculum ready to go. Sometimes you wait to order until you have the previous year's curriculum sorted and removed. You can have a summer break, but you might not take much of one. You pick a start date, but then things change.

Do you ever wonder what goes into making the BJU Press Homeschool curriculum? Recently my family and I met some of the many people who work behind the scenes to create the curriculum and learn about their jobs. I now have a better appreciation of the books that I handle and the video courses my children watch.

Summer is exciting for most kids, but it can be stressful for parents. How often do you hear the words "I'm bored" during the summer? If your home is like mine, I dreaded those words. We had worked so hard in May to finish our school year so we could have a break. It's only the 1st week of June. How can they be bored already? Now that summer is upon us, what are your plans?

Growing up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, I had never heard of homeschooling. Until recently, I thought this was because of the small community in which I was raised or, perhaps, the complexity of farm life. After all, most of my childhood consisted of working in the crop fields, caring for animals, milking cows, cooking, cleaning, tending to our garden, or attending school. After studying the history of homeschooling, however, I realized that most families throughout the 1970s likely didn't know homeschooling was an option. Compared to the 11.1% of children being homeschooled across the United States in 2020, only .03% of children were homeschooled at that time.
