What is the philosophy behind History Links?
We believe thatrelationships and skills are best developed in a family learning atmosphere.All children study the same topics simultaneously, each at his own level. Children do the same activities whenever possible. When the difference in ability levels prevent this, one child either helps another child or he works independently. When they come together at meals, it is a time to recap what they have learned. The youngest child’s sharing helps to solidify the older’s knowledge, to fill in any gaps in his understanding. Conversely, older children’s sharing helps younger children to stretch their understanding and to add to their knowledge. If Dad has not been available to do the lessons but hears of the day’s events, he adds a new dimension to the subject matter while keeping in touch with the family activities.We believe totally in thecapabilities of the parents.We recognize that you, the homeschooling parent, are best able to choose the methods that will work for you child(ren).
