Product Description
EXPLORE HOME-EDUCATION WORKSHOP
When: Saturday, July 11, 2009
11:00am to 1:00pm
Where: Dublin Library Meeting Room 200 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568
Topics: The meaning of home-education, why people home-educate, how to set up your home-education, traditional school houses, curriculum choices, legal issues, and social issues, as well as a question and answer period.
In this day and age, when the public educational system is failing, when crime on most school campuses is a lurking concern, when exposure to immoral behavior at earlier and earlier ages is becoming the norm, when religion is intentionally kept out of the curriculum, home-education must be considered as a viable learning option for our children.
We find many people in our community do not understand why people choose to home-educate and are often times misinformed about what it means to home-educate. We are offering this workshop because it is important that people understand the choices available and make informed decisions about their children's education. Deciding whether or not to home-educate will probably be the most important educational decision you make for your children.
The workshop will include a presentation and discussion period where people are welcome to participate and have their questions answered about home-education. The presentation will be given by Nabila Hanson, director of Kinza Academy, and seasoned home-education teacher. Nabila will be accompanied by a teacher turned home-educator mom who will share her experiences about teaching in the private Islamic school setting vs. teaching her children at home.
Each participant will receive an informational package and a free copy of Educating Your Child in Modern Times which includes essays by Hamza Yusuf and John Taylor Gatto. Tea and sweets will be served.
Seating is limited, so please register early. The cost for this workshop is $35.00 per family. Please make your own arrangements for babysitting. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: events@kinzaacademy.com.
