Homeschool Blog Awards
Daryl’s blog rating got me wondering about my own blog rating.
Not too surprisingly though it is a ‘G’. Like Franky I try to keep things clean just cause I know some kids are reading my blog with their moms and then there are my kids who sometimes read over my shoulder. I agree with her that there is a need for having Homeschool Blog Awards in categories that glorify homeschooling such as the best science blog or best math blog or best hs’ing through high school blog. Categories that do count and put homeschooling in a great light; ones that show why many of us homeschool, to educate our kids. For example we homeschool not for religious reasons, or to ‘protect’ our kids from reading Golden Compass or Harry Potter books, but because we want to be with our children and educate them in the style that we think is right for our family.
Oh, and my favorite science blog post recently was at LaPlaz Home Learning A Term at Hogwarts What a great way to get kids excited about science with lots of fun thrown in. I’d like to see what other blogs folks would put in a Homeschool Blog Award best science category.
One blog category I have not found on the net is one about hs’ing classically through the high school years. Or even hs’ing through the high school years. I keep searching the net for a blog on that topic and have yet to find one. Why do we classical hs’ers give up on this approach when the wonderful years approach? Or maybe folks are just too busy to be bothered with blogging about these years. But I’m digressing…..

Oh, I meant to add that to my post…high school and middle school categories. So much info on the elementary years, but not much on the upper grades.
I’d like to see specific categories for classical, eclectic and unschooling, too. They’re all very different and shouldn’t be lumped together.

While I like the idea of blog awards, those ones are getting more and more restrictive, plus I’m not a fan of supporting TOS. Those awards just aren’t very inclusive and while I’m sure lots of great blogs will get nominated and win, there will be a whole pile of extremely diverse blogs that are disqualified.
My blog came in at a G rating, but in the past it has come in PG. Usually depending if I’m talking about breastfeeding or not.
I don’t think that test goes past the first page.
