Educational Link Pages

     One way to control the costs of homeschooling is by using the Internet.  With a little looking, children and parents can have access to some of the most up to date information from some of the best experts in their field.  How many textbooks can deliver that?  By using the Internet and the public library one can save money on curriculum that then can be spent on field trips.
