1. The Iliad and Odyssey in the original ancient Greek: For fun translation time with friends!
2. A brand new shirt: But they still have to sew it themselves.
3. 9th sibling: No homeschooled child should have to settle for 8!
4. A book of small words: To help them learn how to talk to all the illiterate kids their own age.
5. Shiny new garden hoe: Makes harvesting the zucchini much easier!
6. Neck pillow: For those long, semi-annual van rides to Ken Ham's "The Ark Encounter"
7. World Book Encyclopedia: With all the sex and anatomy stuff blacked out with a marker. A small price to pay for purity!
8. A real haircut: Supercuts does a much better job than Mom. What a treat!
9. "The Talk": As long as they're at least 20 years old.
10. Tickets for their first secular concert: Switchfoot!

And that's it! Merry Christmas and have fun shopping for your home-educated geniuses!

NOT SATIRE: Homeschooling or considering homeschooling?

There is a reason homeschooling families travel from all over the United States and Canada to attend a Great Homeschool Convention. In only the past two years, forty-seven states have been represented at these events. The attendees not only take advantage of the available hotel discounts, but they genuinely find it the Homeschooling Event of the Year!

"I am homeschooling next year (3rd, 5th & 6th) and still have doubts. Going to this convention for the 1st time was not only uplifting but gave me confidence and excitement! I learned much and walked away feeling more confident at the beginning of this journey. All the speakers were terrific; some brought me to tears…. Thank you so much for giving me this experience!" - Stephanie E.
