EaglesNestHome: Homeschooling on a Shoestring

Jul. 28, 2009 - Real World Learning Plan for Economic Prosperity

Can government, working alone, provide prosperity? In this time of economic uncertainty, skeptical Americans consider various plans from Washington D.C. that may jumpstart, fix, or derail our modern society.

Our grandparent's generation held a different view--God wishes that we help and build up our local community!

"No town has room for the knocker; but rather, every community should bestow unstinted praise upon the individual or group of individuals who strive unselfishly to assist home progress, and lend them every assistance.We are just a great family of men and women living in the same neighborhood, and forming a community of souls intended by the Almighty to live an amiable, unselfish life, ready to assist one another in time of need and sorrow and to vie with each other in promoting the welfare of our municipality in its upward progress through all time to come.Patronize home business men, uphold your institutions, be proud of your homes, boon your town and everything worthy of mention in it, and
prosperity will be yours."-- Little Cities of Black Diamonds, New Straitsville Social and Athletic Club

We can help kids "develop empathy for others, which is entirely different from classroom "socialization." Helping an elderly or handicapped neighbor repair their home can provide learning experiences as well as character development. Kids and parents can volunteer together for community service, such as working in a food pantry, volunteering at a shelter, or planting flowers or vegetables at a dilapidated street corner. Families can join a neighborhood watch program to learn about law and safety in the real world."--Real World Learning for Less, Melissa Morgan
