swainsonshawk Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I subscribed to one a couple of years back, but the problem I noticed is that there just aren't enough secular homeschool materials/publishers to support a magazine. It didn't last more than a year. Hopefully as more publishers/curricula come on the market, a magazine will show up to go along with it.

Alte Veste Academy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Home Education Magazine is secular, I believe. I subscribed for a couple of years and accidentally let it lapse. Thanks for reminding me to renew. :tongue_smilie: Rebecca Rupp does a column for them that is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 HEM is secular but includes ads for religious products and IIRC also allows mentions of religion in articles - as in, their editorial position is secular but they may publish writers that mention religion... Again, if I'm remembering that right. I was never that fond of Secular Homeschooling Magazine. A good effort, but the articles were often wordy and in need of editing, IMO.

stripe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My library gets two Christian ones that I am not too fond of. I checked one out once and was offended. Maybe I'll suggest they subscribe to any you ladies suggest. They also get Home Education. Is it religious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKidAcademy Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not offended by the two I've read. I just don't find a lot of value in their articles for my family. I get my religion at church and thru my personal walk with God. I am a newish homeschooler and need *homeschooling* information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get my religion at church and thru my personal walk with God. I am a newish homeschooler and need *homeschooling* information. :lol: I feel the same way. I subscribed to a bunch of magazines my first year and was surprised at how little information there was on homeschooling. If I wanted a religious magazine, then I would subscribe to a religious magazine of my own religious persuasion, thank-you-very-much. We also had a subscription to HEM for a while, but I found some of the articles (and a particular columnist) to be so aggressively pro-attachment parenting that I let that subscription lapse, too. If I wanted a crunchy parenting magazine, then I would subscribe to one (and I say this as a very crunchy mom who homebirths and breastfeeds). I just don't need that from a homeschooling magazine. I just wish there was a homeschooling magazine that was primarily about . . . homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The Secular Homeschooling magazine shut down. It was a one-person shoestring operation and I think it just wore her out. I loved it and was sad to see it fold. HEM itself does not have a religious orientation, but there are religious ads and some of the articles end up coming from authors with a religious orientation toward homeschooling and that does show up in the articles. And what I find most disappointing about HEM is that they beat the unschooling drum ad nauseam. I wish there was a secular publication that addressed the actual work side of homeschooling.

Farrar Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If there was a magazine with a secular editorial stance (I wouldnt mind some religious perspective from authors in some commentaries, as long as it wasn't heavy handed or the main focus overall) that published quality articles about methodology, educational research as applied to homeschooling, homeschooling legal issues, homeschool research articles, etc I would totally buy it. HEM just isn't quite it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay3fer Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah, this WAS on my wishlist and I finally swallowed my pride and subbed to TOS (we're religious, but not Christian; other people's views don't offend me and I often find them helpful if they're OT-based) only to have them announce in my second issue that they're going all-digital. :cursing: $#!% :cursing: If I wanted to read a magazine on the computer, I could probably find one that's FREE. I have a Kobo but it can't handle complex PDFs like their back-issues or whatever they have planned for future digital editions of the magazine. I felt so ripped off. :banghead: If you're Canadian, there's a new publication here, Homeschool Horizons, that has published one of my pieces, with a second coming up. I mention this because, to me, it proves that though the publisher is openly Christian, they are also at least open-minded (ETA mission statement here). I know nothing else about the magazine; I didn't even get a complimentary issue. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Several people have indirectly commented on my post by saying that religion doesn't offend them or whatever. So I want to clarify that the reason the one issue I looked at of one Christian homeschooling magazine offended me (which is a bit of an exaggeration) was because there was at least one article in it that was openly denigrating to others and other religions. It is not the case that Christianity or views different from mine offend me. I regularly find religious homeschooling material very helpful and very thoughtful, such as Mater Amabilis, which I have suggested many times.

RootAnn Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I, too, was annoyed at TOS going all-digital. I love the ads. I love the glossy. I can't read magazines (or newspapers) on the 'net. I want to flip through them in bed or at the kitchen table. I want to tear out articles to keep or pass them onto a friend. Print magazines are going the way of the telephone switch operator. They are too expensive to snail mail anymore for how many people subscribe. That being said, I would love such a magazine as you describe.

laundrycrisis Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I don't even need the glossy color pages - or even full size - a small zine type thing would be fine. I just don't want to have to read online in pdf or some other type of reader program. When I try to look at catalogs in that type of software, I always hate it. I would never read an online magazine in that sort of format. I do feel there is a real need for a periodical for homeschoolers that puts some focus on an academic lifestyle and does not have any specific religious alignment. I am happy to read about homeschooling from all religious perspectives, or none, but I will never read a homeschooling magazine that is specific to one religion. I also do not need to read any more articles about unschooling or raising chickens. Edited January 1, 2012 by laundrycrisis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Mmmm... magazine! I now have $8.88 to put towards whatever I want, thanks to a pending refund from TOS. I got the January "issue" in my inbox and told them I didn't want it, so that's a credit for the remaining 2 issues from my one-year subscription. Can you give me something for $8.88? :lol: Did I mention I write...? The new Canadian homeschooling magazine only pays $10-15 for an article and I have written 2 for them so far.

I am Catholic and don't mind a Christian bent, but it seems like the HS magazines have more articles refuting evolution or about purely Christian issues. I just want to learn more ideas about HSing.
