The post below was an e-mail I received from the Organization Parental Rights. I encourage you to read the letter below I posted and to act on it as soon as possible. WE need to call and voice our opposition to the UN Laws being forced on us. These laws may seem harmless, but they threaten the family unit and are stripping us of our God given rights to love, protect, provide, teach, train, raise our children. This concerns all American families, homeschooling or not homeschooling.
I strongly encourage you to visit parentalrights.org it is a community that is standing guard and informing us as to how our God given rights need to be protected.

Our parental rights are being taken away ! Part 2
Dear Friend of Parental Rights,
Monday in a Harlem middle school, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told a group of 120 students that administration officials are actively discussing “when and how it might be possible to join” (that is, ratify) the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). As before, she also communicated what a disgrace it is that the U.S. would stand with only Somalia against such a widely-accepted treaty.
This is the first direct public statement by the Obama administration that it will seek ratification of the UN CRC.
In my 30 years of political involvement, I have learned to recognize this as what is called a “trial balloon.” Like in World War I trench warfare, our opponents have “sent up a balloon” to see if it will draw fire. If things remain quiet, they will proceed with their plans to push for ratification of the CRC in the U.S. Senate.
To discourage them from doing so, we need to make sure that our voices are heard with unmistakable clarity. We must let the Obama administration know that we oppose this anti-family, anti-American treaty.
Here’s what we need you all to do:
1. Call the White House comments line at 202-456-1111. Tell them you heard the administration wants to ratify the CRC, and you strongly oppose this giving away of U.S. sovereignty to the UN. Also keep in mind that this treaty gives the government jurisdiction to override any decision made by any parent if the government thinks that a better decision can be made—even if there is no proof of any harm.
2. Call Ambassador Susan Rice’s office at the United Nations. Tell her that you want her to represent the United States to the world rather than trying to get the United States to go along with international law initiated by the UN. Her office number is 212-415-4000.
3. Contact your Senators and urge them to oppose ratification of this treaty. (Find your Senators’ contact information by typing your zip code into the box here.) Ask them also to defeat it once and for all by cosponsoring SJRes 16 – the Parental Rights Amendment.
It is very important that we speak up right now. Please call before you close this email!
Sincerely,
Michael Farris

MATH
When our family began homeschooling we were still getting a feel for what books and curriculum worked for us and what did not work for us. Our oldest daughter was struggled a bit with math. Math is not one of her strongest subjects. She is stronger in the subject of reading books and language arts. She was 5yrs. old when we started out using the curriculum MATH U SEE, it is simple and very user friendly for both teacher (parent) and child, but then I became enticed by a more flashier and expensive math curriculum. We made the purchase and started the lesson plans, but soon found it was not a good match for our family. Very quickly we switched back to Math U SEE . We have found, all though not perfect, it is very close to perfect. We have been using this math curriculum for 4 years and now we use it with our youngest daughter.
Math U SEE Benefits:
Very user friendly for Teacher (parent) and child.
Inexpensive compared to other programs.
Works great for teaching comprehension math skills to right-brain or left-brain dominant people.
Has simple, easy to use, colorful manipulative blocks that may or may not be used by your child starting from primer to advanced high school levels. The option is up to you and/or your child.
Each student has, his or her, own consumable work book. Which can be a pro or con depends on how you see it.
The teacher has a his or her own teachers Manuel.
This is really great! Each level comes with a fun, step by step for each lesson, instinctual DVD. The girls and I truly like watching these DVDs. Very helpful.
Math is no longer a chore to be hated. There is no more crying from me or our daughter. Math NO longer takes hours to accomplish, and it is NO longer a scary school subject for any of us in our family.
Thank you Math U See.
