Somehow the tyranny of the urgent can keep us from getting done all the important things we want to do.

Routine is one of the most important factors in a successful homeschool. Homeschooling cannot be considered a matter of convenience. It will not be easier than sending the child to school. A successful homeschooling parent must be dedicated enough to be up and ready on time every day. Every day is the key.
