Jun. 23, 2008 - Student Statesman Institute

Yesterday I dropped my oldest off in Lansing MI at Student Statesman Institute (S.S.I.)   It's a week long experience in goverenment and leadership training (and some Christian worldview too!)  My husband was first introduced to this at the Lansing homeschool convention when he heard James Moffett speak. We're using it for the majority of our sons government credit for high school.  What a great way to do school! My husband and I both attended Close-up in Washington D.C.  It's a program for public high school students which teaches you about government.  We learned a lot and it gave us both an interest (and understanding of) the polictical process and government that we otherwise might not have had.  We sat in on senate session, made our own bills to lobby and argue, met many of our congressmen and senators as well as toured the building.  This program (S.S.I.) looks very much like what we did only it's of course on a state level and most importantly contain a Christian worldview.  I'll let you know Logan (my sons') impression when he gets home! Right now he was pretty much excited to be dropped off and get to stay in a dorm room with a good friend for the week.  Oh, and he gets to eat college cafeteria food (all you can eat, buffet style) which will be like heaven to him.  He's a teenage boy...what can I say.
