When I think back to the days of my public education, many find it hard to believe I graduated from a public high school with 32 others...in a Morton Building! Yes, we conducted experiments in biology and had basic computers for computation (computer math) and cut/paste for the school newsletter. Yes, times have changed...so it comes as no surprise to me that today's best studies (albeit computer math, experiments in biology, or practically any learning) can happen practically anywhere for homeschool students!

A Call for Photos! Showcase "homeschool space" for HSF!'s feature! Send us your digital photograph via email to: Homeschool Frederick!

Imagine how fun this feature can be when we all show-off our homeschool learning pads -- kitchen, living room, library! Here are two of my favorites that came through HSF! email for this feature. Perhaps you'll get in the groove too - and email HSF! your very own photograph of your "captured" space!

For 16 years I homeschooled my six children at our kitchen table, storing their books and papers in other rooms where we could find the space. Three years ago we moved to Maryland, and I finally had a separate dining room which I could use as a schoolroom! We love having everything right there and being able to leave our "mess" out on the table. -- J.

The Campbell family homeschools in the basement playroom, where a perfectly shaped corner of the room provides a cozy nook for bookshelves, a table and chairs, and filing cabinets. Mom would love more wall space for maps and posters, and less access to all the toys! -- A. Campbell
