Learning All The Time
by John Holt
This delightful book by the influential author of How Children Fail and How Children Learn shows how children learn to read, write, and count in their everyday life at home and how adults can respect and encourage this wonderful process.
The object of teaching a child is to enable the child to get along without the teacher. We need to educate our children for their future, not our past.
~ Arthur C. Clarke/b>

    Mission: The Wisconsin Parents Association

    • Welcomes all homeschoolers.
    • Provides information, encouragement, and support for homeschoolers.
    • Brings families together through annual conferences and a network of Regional Coordinators.
    • Ensures the right of families to choose an education consistent with their principles and beliefs.
    • Informs the legislature, the media, and the general public about homeschooling and maintains a favorable climate of opinion for homeschooling in Wisconsin.
    • Monitors legislation and current developments that affect homeschooling families, keeps members informed, and coordinates action when needed.
    • Empowers families to make decisions based on their principles and beliefs, needs, and aspirations, and to respond to challenges from government, other large institutions, so-called “experts,” and others.

    Wisconsin TAG Homeschooling Forum (wi-TAGhomeschooling) - This group was formed to support Wisconsin parents who are currently homeschooling their "talented and gifted" (TAG) children, or considering the option of gifted homeschooling. We also welcome parents from neighboring Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois who have interest in gifted homeschool options.

    This is a support group for parents who want to share the joys and challenges of homeschooling gifted children. No matter what homeschool approach you favor, this is a place where you can ask questions, seek advice, share resources, and connect with other gifted families who share similar situations.

    Because neither our state gifted organization nor our state homeschool organizations provide a forum for TAG homeschoolers, it is hoped that this group can function as the beginnings of a cohesive Wisconsin TAG homeschooling community, and also as a clearinghouse for information on local, state and regional TAG homeschooling events and resources.

    We are a very diverse group, and, as such, we encourage an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for the opinions and beliefs of all our members.

    To Subscribe, visit Wisconsin TAG Homeschooling Forum.



    Wisconsin Unschoolers Facebook Page - A place for families who are unschooling in Wisconsin to connect, share, inspire, and play.

    Unschooling respects the autonomy of the child, trusting in your individual child's inherent ability to learn at their own pace, in their own way. As parents, our job is to support and assist our children as they explore their interests and passions. Think trusted adviser and mentor, versus teacher and rule enforcer. Unschooling families trust that learning happens all the time, and seek out creative and unique ways to bring the world to their children.

    If you are new to unschooling, please see our files section for a list of resources, and feel free to ask questions. Unschooling is a huge paradigm shift from the traditional models of learning and parenting, but the benefits are so worth it!

    For more information, visit Wisconsin Unschoolers Facebook page.
