What????
You may be thinking, “That’s an interesting line, but what does it mean practically?”
I pray that this series of Christian Homeschooling Articles will help you to clarify in your own mind the two broad aspects of homeschool education scholarship:
- Developing Skills and
- Acquiring Knowledge.
|
What connects these two broad areas of skill development and knowledge acquisition?
Discipline.
|
Discipline
- Training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character.
Webster’s Ninth Collegiate Dictionary

This section of Christian Homeschooling Articles on scholarship progresses through the three seasons of homeschooling. As you read through the seasons, I hope you…
- perceive how these two broad aspects of education—skills development and knowledge acquisition—build upon each other and change over time; and
- discover the underlying, hidden benefit of your decision to homeschool your children:
Your increasing discipline will enable you, Mom, to grow in personal skill development and knowledge acquisition with your children.
