Thank you for this timely reminder. It's true, part of the reason I'm homeschooling is to teach the important things to my child. I think a fun way to teach your child how to sew/quilt would be to make quilts to donate (or other sewn items needed). We have a retirement home just down the street I've been meaning to visit with some cookies. Thanks for the nudge! .-= Nicole´s last blog ..“It’s an Idea Emergency!” =-.

Service is so important! Character building is tops for us too! We often provide meals for the sick and injured or for funerals. My boys helped some widows in the area clean up their yard after a big storm here. They remember that with fondness. .-= Dana♥´s last blog ..Handbook of Nature Study (1911) =-.

What a wonderful and inspiring post! You are so right! I count our volunteer service as schooling. For several years, we took Fridays off of all formal schooling and instead visited my grandparents. This was a wonderful experience for all of us. My grandparents were thankful of the time we spent with them and we learned so much as they shared and lessons from their own lives. When my grandfather passes away unexpectedly, we were able to visit with my grandmother when she really needed it and took her to her weekly salon appointments and trip to the grocery store. She just passed away in November and though we miss her terribly, the lessons we learned from her could not have been taught through a textbook. I have never regretted those Fridays not spent cracking the books. Blessings! .-= Tonya Prater´s last blog ..Field Trip Friday: Coming Soon! =-.

One of my dear friends works and lives on site of a city gospel mission. More than someone helping serve food they really love it when people volunteer to clean the bathrooms. Totally gross yes – but someone has to do it and it is usually them.

Yes, yes, and yes! Thanks for giving me a good comeback for the next person who asks me how I intend to teach my child higher level calculus. First of all, she’s 3! Secondly, I’m not homeschooling for the calculus. I’m homeschooling for the more important subjects.

Great post!
