Jon's Homeschool Resources

Thank you for visiting this site - a source of neutral, non-commercial homeschooling information for over ten years now. I am not trying to sell anything to you, nor am I advocating any position or methodology. I am a homeschooling Dad and you can find occasional references to what we do in this house scattered through the pages of this site, but I select resources on the basis of clarity and breadth, not politics or religion.
