That article that I read yesterday got me thinking. One of them started when he was 13 and they all talk about deep, debatable subjects. I wonder what I can talk about that is deep and debatable. Perchance you would enjoy hearing of the Chapman Acadamy of Homeschool Dictionary? Well there is a link to it on this page. It only has three words, phrases and definitions but I already have an idea of another one. We should not use apostrophes when we type. They are crude and terribly primitive. Examples: They’re, it’s, don’t etc. etc. etc. This is how they should be written: They are, It is, do not. Now there is a deep and debatable subject. Oh, I have a question for the five people that read this blog, It has to do with titles and apostrophes: Where do the titles Mrs., Mr., Miss, and Ms. come from? Do they stand for anything? Just a question. Okey Dokey, I’d better get back to school now…

Homeschool day 14 of 180
When I was growing up, the only venue available for aspiring writers was the print media: books, magazines, newspapers, etc. Now there is the web. The amazing thing is that, if you write well and actually have something to say, you can have a huge readership over night. Literally. The article in World Magazine was great because I have been trying to inspire Kelly and Christian to write more on the blog. The goal for now is just to get them to write–the only rules being to avoid writing things that are either unsafe or inappropriate. If that works out, it will be a good time for them to start researching and writing on topics that interest them, followed by focusing the topics so that readers will know a little bit about what to expect when they come to the blog. The goal would be to develop their writing skills and then give them their own blog that has the personality they give it. This is not only a good thing for the writer in the family (Kelly), but for the scientist (Christian), too. One of my very favorite blogs is by a blogging scientist.
