Write the Textbooks

There are several fine home school textbooks and curricula available. The cost and comprehensiveness varies.

Lately I have contemplated the idea of writing a textbook, well a set of textbooks, which could be used by anyone, written by anyone, and adapted to the student as desired and which incorporate my worldview - while retaining the rigor necessary to equip children to face the competition for college or vocational education.

At the same time, I have observed the popularity of the several wiki, e.g. wikipedia, and this observation instigated a curiosity.

Although I lack the funds to acquire and to maintain a website or the technical ability to run wiki software, I wondered if a blog spot could be the next best option (or an interim solution).

So here it is.

If it is so destined, then the participants will appear. If not, well at least I have made a space to hold what I write myself.

If you are interested in adding to the textbooks, have ideas, suggestions, ad hominem attacks, or just want to make bizarre comments you can comment below each post or you can email me and we can get acquainted.
