Last week, my sons and I and some friends went to visit a homestead museum. On that Pioneer Farm Park, was the one room school house, complete with posted school rules:
The children were fascinated by the desks and the school, less so by the rules -- which was made clear by the fact that, when we returned home, the two youngers immediately set to work writing their own set of school rules. Interesting then, to see the following infographic which is currently making the rounds of all the various media.

Of course, we don't use the homestead school rules -- laugh. Our version of rules are closer to our children's. But it is reassuring to know that what we are doing, homeschooling, is not so very odd and that it has a history and a future of success. Sometimes it is not so easy to see the forest for the trees.
