Hello, all! I just found this great article by Mary Hood. It appears on her website, "Archers for the Lord." If you haven't heard of Mary Hood, she's a homeschooling mom and author, who advocates "relaxed homeschooling." This isn't unschooling, but the idea of using what you have and really deciding what your children need, rather than trying to fit into a curriculum "box." Anyway, the article is called "How to Turn Being Broke Into a Unit Study." I saw the title, and had to read it, and I'm glad I did! It is a really great perspective on homeschooling under difficult financial circumstances. Enjoy!
