Lillian Jones is a long-time California homeschool mom and activist. She maintains a remarkable website that contains tons of articles on every aspect of homeschooling written by many homeschool veterans and educational experts. When you get to the website you will see a brief introduction, followed by a box with the title “Gateway to the Internet” (more on that in a moment.) Below the box is a menu of articles archived at this site. Click on any article title and a new page opens where you can read encouraging words and get helpful support on homeschooling. Lillian invites you to “grab your favorite cuppa’ and enjoy…”
