			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-US">Some people consider writing activity as a piece of cake while others do not. A few people even make writing as their job because they can earn money from it. Providing <a href="http://www.customwritings.com" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1332590875_0" class="yshortcuts">writing services</span></a>  can be one of many ways for a person to earn money from his/her writing skill. It is very beneficial to have a good writing skill. A good writing skill is not purely about someone’s talent but also the result of many writing practices which have been done repeatedly. Therefore, a good writing skill can be obtained as someone has done a lot of practices through many ways.</span></p>
<p class="yiv254922852MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-US">The perfect practice will make the perfect result. Practicing writing can be started either by studying the writing theory first or just writing based on desired topics. Those two ways can be chosen by people differently. If someone starts writing practice through studying writing theory it will give him/her a basic knowledge of how to write in a right way. He/she will be able to know how to build an idea into a perfect piece of writing. In addition, it can give him/her a clear instruction which consists of many steps that can be obeyed to create a writing. For example, finding the topic, making a thesis statement, creating a main idea and supporting details for each paragraph, and using the right words to make sentences. Studying theories, after all, cannot be the only way to improve one’s writing skill. In the other hand, if a person just writes without paying attention to the basic knowledge of how to create a good writing the result will not be satisfied and somehow useless.</span></p>
<p class="yiv254922852MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-US">The easiest way to improve writing skill is just writing. There is no writer’s block exists as long as a person just tends to write over and over. A person can practice through writing a diary every day. It will give him/her freedom to write based on his/her feeling without being disturbed by many rules. It is indeed will help someone to make him/her able writing smoothly. A student may be required to write <a href="http://www.customwritings.com/custom-term-paper.html" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1332590875_1" class="yshortcuts">custom term papers</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-US"> as his/her assignment. Sometimes a student will be easily depressed to create one with many reasons. The need to gain a good writing skill is very significant to finish a writing smoothly.</span></p>
<p id="yui_3_2_0_1_1332590876671152" class="yiv254922852MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-US">In general, writing skills can be improved through many ways. It depends on how a person can do the practice rightfully.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="article-content" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>Over the years, the Virginia schools (like many school systems across the nation) have been losing their public school students to home schooling. Henry County, for example, has seen an increase in home-schooled students from eight to 99 over the past 11 years.</p>
<p>In April 1999, the nation watched in horror the news reports on Colorado&#8217;s Columbine High School shootings, where 12 students and one teacher were fatally shot and 24 others were wounded by two teens who then killed themselves. Afterwards, the Virginia schools saw a steady increase of applications from parents who wished to home school their children.</p>
<p>Though the number of children who are home schooled has continued to increase within the Virginia schools, the reasons have changed. Though school violence and security remains to be a primary concern of Virginia schools&#8217; parents, they now have a variety of other reasons, including:</p>
<p>o Too much emphasis on the standardized testing now required within the Virginia schools, fearing their children are being taught only to pass tests rather than a focus on actual learning that is retained and useful later in life; home-schooled children are not required to take the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests;</p>
<p>o The ability of Virginia schools&#8217; children to adjust to the middle and high school environments; many parents home school their children during the middle school years and place them back into the Virginia schools for high school;</p>
<p>o Virginia schools&#8217; parents&#8217; perception of negative influences within the traditional school environment; this is especially true for families with strong religious beliefs; and</p>
<p>o Some Virginia schools&#8217; parents simply want to keep their children at home for a longer period, placing them back within the Virginia schools for high school.</p>
<p>Religious Exemption. If a parent applies for release of their child from the Virginia schools for religious reasons, they are exempt from enrolling their child in any other form of education through age 18. They may wish to do so and can, but they are not required to do so by the Virginia schools. If they do enroll the child elsewhere or home schooling, they also are not required to keep the Virginia schools apprised of the child&#8217;s progress.</p>
<p>Other Exceptions. In order for parents to home school their children, other than under the religious exemption, they must meet one of four requirements developed by the Virginia schools:</p>
<p>o Requirement 1 &#8212; Effective July 1, 2006, the parent, who will be teaching the child, must have a high school diploma and provide to the Virginia schools a description of the curriculum he/she plans to use for the child. The child does not have to meet Virginia schools&#8217; graduation requirements and receives no diploma; however, progress must be shown to the Virginia schools at the end of each year.</p>
<p>o Requirement 2 &#8212; The parent, who will be teaching the child, must have a current teacher certification and provide to the Virginia schools a description of the curriculum he/she plans to use for the child. The child does not have to meet Virginia schools&#8217; graduation requirements and receives no diploma; however, here too progress must be shown to the Virginia schools at the end of each year.</p>
<p>o Requirement 3 &#8212; Parent enrolls child into a Virginia schools&#8217; recognized correspondence home school. There are approximately 19 such schools across the nation. A list may be obtained from the Virginia schools. Correspondence schools are private businesses that operate as schools, charging for their services. They usually cost $800 to $1,200 annually per student, though some charge as much as $4,000 a year. The more you pay, the more services you get, including report cards, transcripts and diplomas. Though coursework is administered by the parent, he/she has no educational level requirement. The child meets the graduation requirements of the correspondence school; however, progress must be shown to the Virginia schools at the end of each year.</p>
<p>o Requirement 4 &#8212; No educational level must be met by the parent teaching the child. They must provide to the Virginia schools a description of the curriculum he/she plans to use for the child, which must include the Virginia schools&#8217; SOL in language arts and mathematics. The child does not have to meet Virginia schools&#8217; graduation requirements and receives no diploma; however, progress must be shown to the Virginia schools at the end of each year.</p>
<p>Description of the curriculum in requirements one, two and four above includes a list of the subjects that will be taught and the textbooks that will be used for language arts and mathematics.</p>
<p>In all four requirements above, the child&#8217;s academic progress must be proved to the Virginia schools either with SOL test scores (the child would have to submit to testing by the Virginia schools and score above the 23rd percentile) or through a provided a portfolio of the child&#8217;s work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Early on in the homeschool movement, virtually all academic instruction took place at home. After all, if you just took your kids out of school, where else would they be learning? This worked fine for all of us for awhile, and then a strange thing happened&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our kids grew up! And as this was happening, many of us became keenly aware of our own limitations to meet our children&#8217;s academic and social needs. We concluded that they would benefit from various learning settings and that someone else&#8217;s instruction, in addition to our own, could be a positive thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those of you who started homeschooling five or ten years ago, the above may seem obvious. There are many support systems and services in place for you to use, and many of you do. But it wasn&#8217;t always this way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Early on in the homeschool movement many states had laws prohibiting home education. Leaders of private schools opposed the movement and saw homeschoolers as a threat to their enrollment. One major Christian book publisher was so suspicious that they wouldn&#8217;t make their textbooks available to homeschoolers. Organizations or private schools caught making their textbooks available were threatened with having their accounts cancelled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here in Oregon, two main things characterized Basic Skills&#8217; early work with homeschoolers in the 80&#8242;s and early 90&#8242;s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The children of the families we worked with were almost all elementary-age students, sixth grade on down. We worked with a few junior-high students and an occasional high schooler, but it was rare.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because the laws regulating homeschooling in Oregon were vague and gave local superintendents virtually unlimited power over children in their district, the majority of our clients were schooling illegally. For practical purposes, they taught exclusively at home so they wouldn&#8217;t risk exposure and be reported.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But like I said, our kids were growing up. What we realized was that as parents, we had various interests and expertise&#8217;s that could be used for the benefit of each other&#8217;s children. So, as the laws regulating homeschooling around the nation were re-written, and homeschooling became more mainstream, many of us made changes in the way we homeschooled as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of my clients was a micro-biologist and taught a Biology class. Another parent had spent years working up a literature curriculum for her children and began teaching it to others. Various hands-on courses in art and writing emerged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We were helping each other and each other&#8217;s children&#8217;s education. Families partnered together, classes were held, and homeschooling ceased to be restricted to the home. And then question surfaced, &#8220;Are you really homeschooling?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Behind the question was the not-so-veiled implication that we had somehow strayed from the &#8220;pure&#8221; path of the &#8220;Biblical&#8221; command that families do it all, or most of the teaching.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Real&#8221; homeschoolers do it this way kind of thinking&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some leaders wondered if we were sinning by what we were doing&#8230; and they weren&#8217;t kidding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To distinguish &#8220;us&#8221; from &#8220;them&#8221;, one major homeschool organization tried to help us out. To participate in their national event, a standard was set. It went like this, 51% (or a percent close to this) of your student&#8217;s homeschooling had to take place at home. Anything less than this was, well, not really homeschooling&#8230; and you couldn&#8217;t be a part of &#8220;us.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks for helping us figure it out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know that to many of you this sounds ridiculous.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But here&#8217;s my point. Whatever educational choices you make this school year, they don&#8217;t belong to the person who introduced you to homeschooling, a support group leader, or a speaker who spoke at a conference you attended. They belong to you. In esteeming our leaders too much, many of us have surrendered our educational freedom.</p>
