What is friendoflearning.com?
Friendoflearning.com is a website created by a father (not a priest) who worked full-time, but who also homeschooled his daughters.
He wanted some help from a computer, and wrote the earliest versions of this program to make homeschooling easier for him and his daughters.
They finished using it several years ago, and the program was idle for some time.
Now the father (still not a priest; no offense to priests) is working on it again, adding to its features, watching it grow.
Perhaps it can be of some value to you.

A Homeschooling Manifesto
Education is about accumulating knowledge. It's not about doing time.
*****
Children are individuals. One child might learn faster or slower than another child, and that's okay.
*****
A child might learn some subjects faster or slower than that same child learns other subjects, and that's okay too.
*****
Children are more likely to be enthusiastic about their own education if they have some input into what they will study, and as to how they will study it.
*****
There is no failing to learn a subject; there is only continued study and practice until that subject is learned.
*****
Homeschooling does not have to be very time-consuming, nor does it have to be difficult to manage.
*****
If you are not required by law to mimic the limitations of your local school system, then why should you?
