Build Your Homeschooler’s Character with a High-Five

My boys are huggers. They love giving hugs to say hello and goodbye. I remember times, however, when we were rushed to deliver kids to extracurricular activities, church functions or sleep overs. The more we rushed the less time we had for proper goodbye instructions. No “say yes ma'am and no ma’am, make sure you are a good example, clear your plate from the table, and most importantly be respectful.” What we needed was a simple gesture that was understood by all of us. We needed a high five.

Why THSC Supports School Choice

For 30-plus years, THSC's position has been to protect and empower parents to make decisions for their children, especially their education. In the 1980s we fought against those who argued that parents were not qualified to teach their children at home so should not be allowed to home school. Our foundational argument against this was that parents have a fundamental, constitutional right to direct the care, control and upbringing of their children and should therefore have the right to home school.

“…The problem with pounding a square peg into a round hole is not that the hammering is hard work. It’s that you’re destroying the peg.”— Paul Collins

I can only imagine how many days my children felt like square pegs being shoved into round curriculum holes. Looking back at those frustrating years of home schooling, I now realize my driving pursuit toward “normal” were wasted time and energy against God’s unique plan for their lives.

When does a home school day include watching a hilarious skit, touring historical monuments, debating in legislative lingo, meeting and listening to the Lieutenant Governor, and conversing on a comfy couch with your state senator over pressing issues of the day?

THSC Intervenes on Behalf of Member for Social Security Benefits

How THSC’s Intervention Helped the Kahn Family



In November 2016, THSC member Kathleen Kahn reached out to our office about a notice she received from the SSA (Social Security Administration) office in League City, Texas. The SSA informed her that the benefits for her son, Adrian, were completely stopped because he turned 18 that same month. However, this does not comply with SSA and Texas home school policies.
