I have been teaching mathematics in the state of Iowa for   "many" years.  The past seven years I have been in an alternative high school program  in southwestern Iowa. And over the past two years I have been involved in our district's homebound and home schooling programs.

Welcome to one of the fastest growing websites on home schooling information.  The intent is to give onlookers information about home schooling and provide links to various outlets for materials needed to be a successful home school administrator.  This web site will have an Iowa "flavor", but the information can be a general guide for any state.  However, keep in mind that each state has its own rules and laws as to Competent Private Instruction.

I particularly have a passion for the math part of the school curriculum. Most home school teachers do not have the expertise to help their students over the trouble spots, especially in the upper level or college preparatory mathematics.  Video tapes and other resource books are helpful, but it still comes down to being able to talk the student through the process.

One of the reasons for this website is to give home school instructors another source from which to pull techniques and materials.

Feel free to contact me at any time for help.  If I don't know the answer, I can find it for you.  My e-mail address is below:
