"Twenty
years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't
do than by the ones that you did.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade

computer
- pretty please!
With the holidays approaching, we are starting to think about gift giving.
Every homeschooler I know wishes for a laptop computer, but they think that they have to cost an arm and a leg! Not true!
LaptopBroker is a friend to homeschoolers - he donated a great laptop as our grand prize at the Expo! He has great prices and will customize your computer if you like. Give this coupon code - FREE22 - and get free shipping!

Private School Affidavit Questions Answered
By CHN’s Legal Rights Committee
Will
I receive a confirmation of filing?
If you filed online,
and provided your email address, the CDE emailed a confirmation to you.
If you filed a Statement In Lieu, you will not be receiving a written
confirmation from the CDE, which is ok, because you don’t need a
confirmation.
Do
I need proof that I filed?
No, not really.
The CDE has the important copy, right? It’s faster and more convenient
to keep a copy with your school records, but if you ever lose them, the
CDE has them. If you and the CDE both lose your copies, the CDE would just ask you to resubmit the form.
What
school records do I need?
We hope everyone
has their records in order, since that should have been done in August
or September. However, if yours aren’t done yet, now is a good time
to review CHN’s
records web page
Now
that I’ve filed, am I done?
For this year, yes, but if you still have a private school
next year, you’ll need to file again next October.
Can
I File Mid-Year?
We’ll be covering
that question in detail in your next membership copy of CHNews!
Homeschool Safety Tips
Who can you trust?
Homeschooling is now big business, so everyone should be aware that many individuals are trying to make money from homeschoolers. We have known for a long time that it was true with curriculum, but homeschoolers are also seeing co-ops, charters, and ISPs springing up all over. With so many choices, it can be hard to know what to choose and who to trust. Just because something is offered for homeschoolers doesn't mean it's going to be good for homeschoolers, especially if money is involved. As always, parents must remain diligent in investigating any individual and business to see if it's a good choice for their family. Just remember, there are a lot of self-proclaimed experts out there!
Here are a few tips to help keep your family safe with so many confusing choices -
1) Be aware that anyone can claim to be a homeschooler - look into it further before getting involved. Ask questions. Are the people involved homeschoolers? How long have they been homeschooling? If they just started to homeschool last week, they might not be the best choice to provide the guidance you are seeking!
2) When signing up for field trips or classes,
don't pay money to someone that you do not know, unless it is money that
you can afford to lose. Have they organized other trips or are they known
and respected in your local support group?
3) If your children attend classes,
plan to attend with them. Homeschooling is about parents and kids
being together and learning together, and so typically you should expect
to be a participant with your child. If you're new to homeschooling and
accustomed to drop off classes, this may be an adjustment.
4) Homeschoolers have cooperatively helped each other for decades, without money being involved. That's what a true co-op is all about. Paying for classes doesn't necessarily mean the classes will be better; it may mean the teacher has created a job for herself. While many classes are worth their cost, look to your local support group for ways to share the talents of your group for free!
Homeschooling Comes of Age
By Isabel LymanIn the late 1960s and early 1970s, the modern home education movement was in its infancy. At that time, most Americans viewed home-styled education as a quaint tourist attraction or the lifestyle choice of those willing to endure more hardship than necessary.
What a difference a few decades makes.
Homeschooling has undergone an extreme makeover. From maverick to mainstream, the movement has acquired a glamorous, populist sheen.
Flip through a few issues of Sports Illustrated, circa 2007, and there's no shortage of news about photogenic homeschoolers who make the athletic cut. Like Jessica Long who was born in Russia, resides in Baltimore, and is an accomplished swimmer. At 15, Jessica became the first paralympian to win the prestigious Sullivan Award, which honors the country's top amateur athlete. Then there's the dashing Joey Logano who, at 17, has already won a NASCAR race.
Even presidential hopefuls and their spouses have jumped on the school-thine-own bandwagon. Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) has offered enthusiastic support for homeschooling families, and Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina) told the Wall Street Journal that this fall she plans to home educate the couple's two youngest children "with the help of a tutor."
As for scholastic achievements, this national competition season was remarkable, seeing home scholars crowned as champs in three major events. A twelve-year-old New Mexican named Matthew Evans won the National Word Power competition, sponsored by Reader's Digest. Thirteen-year-old Evan O'Dorney of California won the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and fourteen-year-old Caitlin Snaring of Washington was christened the National Geographic Bee champ.
Then there's Micah Stanley of Minnesota who has yet to receive any lessons in a brick-and-mortar classroom building. For the past few years, he's been enrolled in the Oak Brook College of Law, a distance learning law school headquartered in Sacramento. This past February, he took the grueling, three-day California general bar examination (California allows correspondence law students to sit for the bar), and he can now add "attorney" to his resume. In his spare time, he's finishing up a book titled, How to Escape the Holding Tank: A Guide to Help You Get What You Want.
Micah is 19.
A teenage lawyer/budding author, however, wouldn't surprise John Taylor Gatto, an outspoken critic of compulsory education laws and a former New York State Teacher of the Year. Writing in Harper's Magazine, Gatto forthrightly argued that "genius is as common as dirt."
Perhaps. But it's also understandable that when everyday folks hear about the homeschooled Joeys and Caitlins and Micahs, they become a tad intimidated — as if this educational choice were the exclusive domain of obsessive-compulsive moms and dads with money to burn, time to spare, and a brood of driven, Type-A offspring.

One Day Camping!
By Pia Williams
Wow!! It's GREAT! LOL
Yeah - ok, it's me Miss "What kind of room service do they have at a campsite"?
In other words - I don't camp.
But...
I decided I would dip my big toe in the "camping waters", so to speak, just to see what this was all about. So we made the drive up to Carpinteria from L.A. My 7yo & I were both a bit skeptical - she was because she knew I was going to attend the CHN membership meeting that she didn't want to sit through, and me because I just don't do dirt and sand and pioneer living.
HA - we were both wrong!
First off, I really liked the location - decent bathrooms & hot showers immediately caught my eye! Then I just marveled at all the really cool bed set ups - air beds, real sheets & blankets/comforters. There were some sleeping bag folks there - but that doesn't draw me - I want COMFORT. I was also taken with all of the kitchen set ups - I don't cook, but I like kitchen stuff! But my favorite things were the tents! Whoo hoo! All types with separate rooms and all. Separate tents for the kids and separate room for the hubby. Ok - now I'm beginning to think I can actually do this AND enjoy it!! Heehee
I want to thank all of you ladies who were nice enough to sit and chat with me all afternoon - it was really fun. I'll remember few of the names (sorry - I'm REALLY bad like that) but know that I had an extended amount of FUN with you all because the conversation was so good. Ok - so most of you won't see this for a week - at least - but I've put it out there! LOL Special thanks to Karen for "hosting" me for the day.
Erica found a friend and ran & played to exhaustion. Before we got off the campgrounds - she asked when WE were going camping and WHY we weren't staying the night!
So I write all this to say that if you can't go for the week - but are able to just make a day for camping - DO IT!! If you're a non camper - like me - go check out Carpenteria. So much better than what I imagined.
Ok, child is in bed - exhausted (YAY!) and I'm headed for the shower. I'll go to bed with fun thoughts of future camping and a pad and paper next to my bed so I can keep track of all the cool camping gear I'm about to buy. Hahahahahahaha!
thanks!

CHN has a camping trip every spring and fall!
Each time we go camping, we get a few families who have never camped before. We love to see new campers come to try it out and find that they can really do it!
Our spring camping trip is in the works! We have a few ideas we are mulling around, but we welcome suggestions from you! Do you know of a campground that would make a great experience for a large group of homeschoolers? If you do, let the camping committee know about it! We promise to look into all suggestions!
CHN call for Candidates
-
By Kelly Green
CHN Membership Chair
Are you a CHN member
who is passionate about homeschooling and you are ready to make a difference?
Now is the time for you to consider taking that extra step. Candidates
are needed to run in our 2008 Board of Trustees election.
What exactly is a trustee? A trustee is someone who helps shape the future of CHN. This worthy cause is more than attending quarterly meetings, approving budgets, and developing long range plans; it is being involved in the progress and development of California's homeschooling climate. If you need more details, feel free to ask a current trustee for more in-depth information. Their emails are listed on page 2 of CHNews and on CHN's website. They'd be happy to answer all of your questions.
Who is qualified to be a trustee? You must be a CHN member for one year prior to the start of the election, which is March 1, 2008. Trustees must be either active or retired homeschooling parents. Plus, six months of volunteering within CHN is required. I know that narrows things down a bit, but you still have plenty of time to sign up and lend a helping hand to one of our committees. We pride ourselves on being volunteer based - the more our members get involved, the more our organization grows and improves.
How long does a trustee serve? The traditional term for a trustee is two years, with the opportunity to run as often as you like. Trustees live anywhere within the state of California.
Spend some time and think about this exciting opportunity. Candidate questionnaires must be received no later than December 1, 2007. I urge you to seriously consider being a candidate in this election. Help us to shape the future of homeschooling and homeschooling support in California.
Candidate statements and further information is available here Election form You may also submit requests for a candidate questionnaire, and any questions or comments to: Elections

Well what, then?
Play is children's most important activity. It's the way they figure out how the world works, what part they have in the world. Scientists play with theories, writers play with words and ideas, inventors play with materials & concepts...
Work: No, I don't mean forcing kids to do chores, but allowing them to join you in your work at their level of ability and interest; helping them to find ways to their own work in the real world when they choose. Real tools.
Volunteering, starting a business...
Reading: Being read to (if and when you and they enjoy it); seeing others read for pleasure and curiosity; playing with books, letters, words, maps, puzzles, board games, comic books... No pressure -- some learn to read at 4, some at 12 & by the time they're 16, no one can tell the difference.
Math: Spending money or allowance; blocks, cards, dominoes; sports & games; origami; cooking, gardening; building a model or a tree house, measuring distance, angles, heat, light, weight, speed...
Science: Humans are born scientists. Encourage curiosity & help kids go where it leads: mud, pets, rocks, bugs, stars, trains, bicycles, fishing, swimming, computers...
Art & music: real materials and instruments, lessons & practice (if kids choose) or messing about with piano, recorder, ukulele, drum, clay, paint; seeing art & artists, acting, listening to music, dancing, playing along...
Doing nothing: thinking, dreaming, watching the clouds, imagining... Often "doing nothing" means kids are not doing what parents think they should be doing. Which means kids are doing what they choose, which is the best way (maybe the only way) people learn.
The point is, schooling, text books, and most "educational materials" are artificial, boring and limiting. Real life and real work are unlimited, unpredictable, fascinating. And kids know the difference.

H.E.A.R.T.S.
Homeschooling families are often looking for opportunities to help others. Whether it is at a natural disaster or family crisis, we can find ways for our kids to see that helping others is a great thing to do.
H.E.A.R.T.S.
Homeschoolers
Educating, Assisting, and Reaching-Out Through Service
By Michele Pulis
Beyond the Basics
All across America, homeschoolers - who are frequently separated by religious, philosophical, political, and geographic distance - are joining together in common community service goals. In June, 2004, New Jersey homeschooling activist Michele Pulis established an effort called H.E.A.R.T.S. (Homeschoolers Educating, Assisting, & Reaching-out Through Service) to bring homeschoolers together in a common effort. The purpose of H.E.A.R.T.S. is to unite a diverse group of people in service to their communities - while increasing public awareness and acceptance of homeschoolers and homeschooling as a single focus, unrelated to any other issue.
"Homeschoolers differ widely in many respects; but one thing we all have in common is that we homeschool because we feel that is what is best for our children." said Pulis. "Homeschoolers are frequently involved in community service as part of their everyday living and learning. H.E.A.R.T.S. coordinates these efforts, offering one more common ground on which we can unite to provide service to our communities while also advancing homeschooling acceptance - an issue that is vitally important to all of us."
H.E.A.R.T.S. began as a small grassroots movement in New Jersey with a small group of devoted initial participants. The inaugural project involved collecting "wish list" donations for domestic violence shelters through the state. This was an ambitious undertaking as a first project; yet when the project ended, the tally showed that over 68 containers of goods were collected and distributed to domestic violence shelters through 17 counties in the state. H.E.A.R.T.S. kicked off their second theme "Winter Warmth" at the New Jersey Unschoolers Network Conference in September - collecting hats, scarves, and gloves for Hats 4 the Homeless in New York City.
By the end of the first project it was becoming clear that H.E.A.R.T.S. had the potential to take wing and fly. The initial core members discussed and brainstormed - and a form for future projects emerged. Annual campaigns were set up as 'themes' which could be completed locally- anywhere in the country. The American Homeschool Association (AHA), headed by Helen Hegener, managing editor of Home Education Magazine, offered support in the effort to spread the movement.
H.E.A.R.T.S. currently has 12 chapters in 9 states across America plus many additional non-affiliated participants. All efforts are detailed on the H.E.A.R.T.S. website (http://www.h-e-a-r-t-s.org) in a way that allows groups as small as a parent and child to fully participate. Seven annual themes as well as several "special projects" are featured.
A large part of the success of H.E.A.R.T.S. is due to the ease of participation. Each theme presents full detailed instructions and a press release for an individual project, as well as suggestions for alternate projects related to the theme. Community participation in all projects is always encouraged and appreciated.
Another important feature is that community service participation by children of all ages is suggested and encouraged. For example, details are provided for participation in "Sight Night" - a project through which children collect used eyeglasses while Trick or Treating. Other projects suggest children produce items such as cards (to send to nursing homes for holidays - or to be included with donations to homeless shelters and other projects), bookmarks (to be included with book donations for Children's Book Week), and even simple fleece blankets (for Project Linus) - simple instructions are planned to be included on the website.
"When Michele Pulis started H.E.A.R.T.S. a new day dawned for the homeschooling community: A sunny, bright, and hopeful day filled with rewarding service for homeschooling families and much needed assistance to communities and individuals in need of support and encouragement." says Helen Hegener, publisher Home Education Magazine. "By tapping into the intrinsic strengths of the homeschooling movement, H.E.A.R.T.S. provides a strong base of support for community service and related projects across the nation and around the world."
Please visit the H.E.A.R.T.S. website for more information or to join in this community service movement. Though the website is a new and evolving project, the current theme and project sections are complete.
Please join us. Together we can make a difference!

History of CHN
On January 8, 1994, twenty-eight dedicated homeschoolers met after a John Taylor Gatto speech, to discuss forming an inclusive, grassroots, member-driven organization. They envisioned a coalition of diverse people where religious and non-religious, conservative and liberal, packaged curriculum users and unschoolers could work together with mutual respect. Today, over a decade later, CHN is leading the way for homeschoolers, thanks to the vision of our founding members, and the willingness of today’s CHN members to continue what was started and to boldly expand with innovative ideas.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Don't throw out the seeds when making Jack-O-Lanterns or cooking fresh pumpkins, they make great snacks that are rich in fiber as well as vitamins B and E. Kids especially love them. Purists will want only salt as a seasoning, but if you're feeling adventurous, experiment and have fun with seasoning blends.
1
1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
2 tsp. melted butter or oil (olive oil or vegetable oil work well)
salt to taste
Options To Taste:
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
seasoning salt
Cajun seasoning blend
Preheat oven to 300° F.
While it's O.K. to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor), clean off any major chunks. Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the melted butter or oil and seasonings of your choice. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
