Dear Readers:
As we swing into just about the last month of summer for most of the country, those homeschooling families who follow the school calendar are gearing up for the new term, thinking about what materials they might want to acquire and setting their goals for the next year. This seems a good time to feature an article about classical homeschooling, What Is the Effect of a Classical Education? Since a certain amount of misunderstanding may surround this method to teaching, we felt it good to clear the air as much as possible. Also, since it is buying season for many families, we present a great resource for money-saving - The Homeschool Buyers Co-op! We think you will love this fascinating idea to help you save money and still get the products you want. Please enjoy The Way Home and thank you for reading our publications.

Homeschool Buyers Co-op - the Power of Many to One
By Michael Leppert
We all know the "secret" behind Wal-Mart's low prices - volume buying power. It is as old as retail itself. Every major retailer in the country has used volume buying to provide lower prices to its customers. School districts make the most of their budgets with volume buying and obtaining the discounts that purveyors offer to carloads of merchandise to one purchaser. So why not homeschoolers?

Left-handed Writers
by Nan J. Barchowsky
Is your child left-handed? If he or she is young, hand dominance may not yet be evident. Watch for the hand that reaches for a toy, pushes a door open, or throws a ball. If a child, young or older, changes hands for different tasks, he or she may be ambidextrous. Many teachers, and even pediatric occupational therapists fret over the establishment of hand dominance. Why? Adults who can work with either hand are blessed.
If you are right-handed, and teaching a left-hander you may feel unsure about how to go about it. It's far less difficult than you may imagine.

What Is the Effect of a Classical Education?
People often associate the phrase "classical education" with a kind of elite intellectual endeavor, as if a classical education is only for especially bright students. I think this is because a classical education is perceived to be an almost entirely intellectual pursuit. It is not. In fact, an overemphasis on the intellect -- and a narrow part of the intellect at that -- at the expense of the rest of the human person, is one of the grave faults of modern education.
