What is the Educational Savings Account (ESA) program, and  Should you consider it for your child?

Hear Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute explore these questions as he talks about the concept of state-run “education at home” programs that foot the bill to “help” you educate your children.  Is this legal option the same as homeschooling, and how does it compare to other educational options?  Dr. Ray will challenge you to consider the importance of who has authority over what is taught to the minds and hearts of your children.

Special to Nevada parents, Dr. Ray will combine items from three of his seminar sessions, “Are You About to be Co-Opted?, When a Free Lunch Isn’t Free, and What Makes You Think You Can Teach Your Own?”  Are we being superior, or inadequate, if we don’t teach our children the same values and curriculum as the state institutions?

Dr. Ray is convinced that these are some of the most urgent issues that homeschoolers will grapple with during the next several years.
