Just recently Danny and I were sent a magazine called The Old Schoolhouse. It's for homeschoolers. We were asked to critique it. It's a glossy thick magazine. It has a variety of writers from all over America who write the articles. It also is busy with many advertisements selling resources that homeschoolers can really use. The magazine is packed full from cover to cover with a wide variety of information. This magazine is a good one for the coffee table or where it is easily available because one read can't cover everything.

We were sent four magazine. So far I've only had the opportunity to go through one. It was the Summer 2004 edition. An important subject to me that I saw discussed throughout the magazine is morality. A major topic which is mostly left out in the public school setting. This magazine offers support, inspiration and encouragement to help parents do better in their teaching.

I enjoyed the article about Ronald Reagan. There was also a wide range of pictures from his life and good quotes. I also liked other articles about Judge Roy Moore, the interview with Josh McDowell and Laura Ingalls. Since my husband has read the series of "Little House" books to our family it was great to see a real picture of the Ingalls family.

When I went through the magazine Ginny, my seven year old, looked at it with me. We liked the drawing contest in the back. This magazine can also be used with your homeschoolers and you can teach them about history from looking at the articles with them.

This magazine is the type of magazine you don't want to get rid of even after you've read it because the articles give good information. If you have an interest in knowing more about this magazine they have a website: www.TheHomeschoolMagazine.com
