As we have been predicting for several months, Representative Terra Costa Howard (D – Downers Grove) has introduced HB2827. This bill is an egregious action taken against homeschooling families, seeking to overturn 75 years of homeschooling freedoms. It not only affects homeschoolers but also non-public brick and mortar schools. However, the clear motivation is to drastically change the way homeschooling is governed in Illinois, and to remove the parents as the primary gatekeepers of their children’s education.

This is not a registration bill but a comprehensive set of rules, procedures, and qualifications for anyone considering homeschooling. It is written in such a way that it becomes a Pandora’s Box, opening the door for future legislative infringements on our freedoms beyond our present comprehension. For example:

• It puts a greater burden on homeschool parents, who are already working hard, and makes Illinois the only state to go backwards in homeschooling freedoms rather than forward.
• It mandates a “Homeschool Declaration Form” that demands certain private information and gives the Illinois State Board of Education authorization to add more data collection to the annual form without legislative approval.
• It empowers a public-school district to demand—without any reason given—a family produce an “educational portfolio” which would be approved by a local school official.
• If homeschool children participate in any public-school activities, they will have to comply with all medical and immunization requirements of the public school, unless you have a religious exemption. This is worded in such a way that it could be a segway to require all homeschooling children to comply as well.
• This will have a significant, negative impact on special needs children who have IEPs or other assistance programs

Action Points

1. Pray for God’s mercy and ask Him to give us favor in the eyes of the legislators.
2. Be gracious, kind, and professional in your communications (online, on the phone, and in person). Some legislators have used disrespectful interactions with homeschoolers to deepen their anti-homeschool bias.
3. Have every voting adult in your home call your state representative and state senator at the Capitol and/or district office. Respectfully, but firmly, ask them to oppose HB2827. Hopefully, the line will be busy, so keep on calling. (Your senator may not yet be aware of this bill as it was just filed, but you can inform him.) If possible, a face-to-face meeting is even more impactful.
4. Share this information with all your homeschooling friends, coop members, private school friends, etc., encouraging them to make phone calls. It does not matter if they are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, non-sectarian. The more diversity the better.
5. Bring your family to Cherry Pie Day in Springfield on March 6.

Suggested Script

Representative ____________, I respectfully urge you to strongly oppose HB2827, ironically called the Homeschool Act. Homeschooling works as is evidenced by our academic and social success. This proposed bill infringes on our rights and adds undue burdens on homeschool parents who are already working hard to see their children succeed in life. As the old adage says, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Thank you for protecting our rights in the past and continue to do so into the future.

Remember, freedoms are not free. We must stand vanguard over them. This is our time.

Full text of HB2827

Greetings PAACH homeschooling families. I hope your family is doing well as you seek to honor Christ in your home every day. I have been dwelling a lot on my theology of the family, especially God’s design for and sovereignty over the family. Much of this has come from reviewing struggles in my family and church over the past decade or more. I have noticed that it seems like too many Christians just do not have a good understanding of God’s design for the family or how involved God is in every aspect of the family. I want to make a few observational statements that I hope will challenge you to trust God more, not only in your family, but in the other families in your church.

Let Me Start with This

God has specifically chosen every detail of your family. He has given you the exact children He wants you to raise at the exact right time. Whether through natural birth or adoption, every child that God gives you has been “formed and knit together” with you in mind to parent and disciple him or her. (Ps 139:13-16) This same passage also says that God has written and planned out every one of their days. Another passage confirms that every person’s “steps are ordered of God.” (Ps 37:23) Paul tells us that God knows every one of us from before the beginning of the world. (Eph 1:4)

Here is my challenge

1. Do you lead your family in a way that shows you believe this?
2. Do your interactions with other families reflect this belief?

Your Family

Scripture is clear that you are responsible to disciple your own children to know the Lord. (Deut 6:4-9) Scripture is also clear that you cannot save your children, but only point them towards God. Rather, it is God who saves them through the work of the Holy Spirit who opens the eyes of those he has chosen and leads them to Jesus’ work on the cross. As a parent, you have the opportunity and privilege to walk alongside them on their journey. You get to cheer them on when they succeed and pick them up when they fail. The relationship you build with them as they grow up does influence how much they will trust you to continue to guide and walk alongside them as an adult. It does not guarantee that they will walk a straight path or even a path that leads to salvation. What you can do is pray for them, teach the Bible, point them towards God, and love them with grace and mercy no matter what.

Other Families

I have had the opportunity to come alongside someone else’s child to walk them back into the arms of his parents after he had walked away and made a mess of his relationships. I have also experienced other well-intentioned believers being too quick to believe the lies of a child walking in rebellion and to give very bad, unbiblical advice to that child. These poor advisers, instead of obeying scripture, end up both sinning themselves as well as steering that child deeper into sin. So, how should you respond when a child of a Christian family comes to you complaining about their mom’s or dad’s parenting? If your first thought is to agree with them or point them anywhere other than back to their parents, think again. You really ought to dig a little deeper to find out the child’s motives. Often a child is looking to be justified in their disobedience and far too often they find it. If you think there could be something to the child’s complaint, then scripture is clear that we are to bring accountability directly to a person in private first. The intent of going to that parent yourself may be to help them see a blind spot or even find repentance for a bad choice. It should never be to play “gotcha” or assume guilt and crucify that person. This requires courage, humility, often a bit of tact, and likely preparation in prayer. Our goal in the lives of other Christian families should be to bring scripture to their situation that will edify, encourage, or even bring correction. (2 Tim 3:16) It is biblical for experienced parents to help teach and train new or less experienced parents. (Titus 2) Remember, God has given that child specifically to those parents…on purpose. He does not make mistakes putting a child with parents who are “too strict.” It could be that child needs precisely the kind of parenting they are getting.

I hope these thoughts will challenge you to think through what you believe and grow in your family as you walk out your relationship with Jesus Christ. Please remember to be quick to listen and slow to speak. (James 1:19) Be slow to make assumptions or quick judgements based on hearsay. You want God to use you to encourage and build up the family. He may even use you to restore a family. Be careful not to get caught up and sow into the destruction of a family.

The PAACH board desires to help and support you throughout your homeschooling journey. We also desire to help you disciple your children by providing encouragement, wisdom, and resources that will enable you to be Godly parents who lead your children towards Christ. We pray that your family learns together, grows together with others in community, and glorifies Christ in everything you do.

Illinois has long enjoyed a free state when it comes to homeschooling. The homeschool laws have not changed since 1950’s in People v. Levisen when homeschooling was ruled as private schools with parents having the constitutional right to educate their children. Many of you have heard about homeschooling in Illinois in the news recently with the Pro Publica news article and representative Terra Costa Howard’s response.

What does all this mean and how should we respond as homeschoolers?

I want to remind you of the long hard fight our predecessors fought in the name of defending the right to homeschool. We are so thankful and blessed to benefit from their work. Let us not see their work in vain. There has been a buzz among the homeschool community that we need to be gearing up for a fight. With the many new homeschoolers in recent years due to covid and government overreach, many do not realize how far we have come. As you go to your homeschooling activities, I would ask you to share with others where we have been and how much we have been enjoying the right to homeschool freely. Let us be on guard and ready to defend what we believe.

Meet your state representatives

As the Illinois representatives are in recess currently, now is the perfect time to introduce your family to your local representative. Let them get to know you and your family and what homeschooling looks like in your home. Homeschooling does not need more regulation. The few cases that have been cited in the news lately has been a failure at the CPS level not homeschooling. Let the representatives know how regulating homeschooling will put an undue burden on your family. Talk to your homeschool friends, especially those new homeschoolers who may not understand what is at stake.

Illinois is not the only state that has come under fire recently, because of homeschooling

Many states are feeling the pressure. In fact, the Coalition for Responsible Homeschooling, a left leaning lobbyist group, is currently trying to work on a bill to make homeschooling “safe.” Unfortunately, many aspects of this bill will be damaging, hurtful, and bring bureaucratic oversight into our homes. Do your research. Look into the Coalition for Responsible Homeschooling group to see how dangerous their agenda would be. It is sad to see some of the organizers of this lobby group had a poor or harmful education experience. This does not justify a call to regulate homeschooling on the experience of the few. Many families do care about their children and want the best for them. In fact, research has shown the majority of homeschoolers are homeschooling out of love and compassion for their children. Research the details about the bill “Make Homeschool Safe Act.”

After you have done your research, ACT!

Some expect a bill to be introduced in the state very soon. Meet with your representatives. Bring your kids along and turn it into a homeschool lesson. If a representative personally knows homeschooling families and how any legislation would impact them, it would be very difficult to be in favor of such legislation. Look to the PAACH newsletter. We are in the process of arranging a tour in Springfield in November. This would be a great time to personally meet your rep. Make sure you are signed up for HSLDA email alerts at www.hslda.org. They are actively monitoring the situation. We have listed below some links and articles to help get you started in your research.

Greetings PAACH homeschooling families. I hope your family is doing well as you seek to honor Christ in your home every day. If you have already begun your school year, I hope you are finding your rhythm and enjoying your children. Exciting changes are happening with the PAACH board. Over the past 2 months we have said goodbye to 2 beloved board families and welcomed 2 new board families.

There are 2 families that deserve our appreciation who have served well and been an integral part of the rebranding and rebuilding of our organization. Matthew & Lisa Lewis served on the board for 9 years and have stepped down to give another family the opportunity to serve. They will continue to be a part of the PAACH community. Scott & Kristina Meyers served on the board for 4 years and have moved to Kentucky to serve at the Creation Museum & Ark. Both families believe strongly in family discipleship and have shown their heart for homeschooling. They will be greatly missed. If you would like to send either of these families an encouraging card or letter, please contact us for their addresses.

Two new incredible families have joined the PAACH board. Tim & Stephanie Irwin are experienced homeschoolers, and they are excited to use their experience and talents to serve the PAACH community. McClean & Yvonne Wendt are somewhat new homeschoolers who are passionate about bringing new ideas and enthusiasm to the homeschooling community. Both families exhibit a heart for family discipleship and a desire to help other families grow and thrive as homeschoolers. We look forward to seeing how PAACH families will benefit from their service.

The PAACH board desires to help and support you throughout your homeschooling journey. We also desire to help you disciple your children by providing encouragement, wisdom, and resources that will enable you to be Godly parents who lead your children towards Christ. We pray that your family learns together, grows together with others in community, and glorifies Christ in everything you do.

Greetings PAACH homeschool families. It’s almost time to begin a new school year, which means that some of you have already begun planning out your school year. Meanwhile, others of you will begin your yearly panic as you read this because planning and organization is just not in your blood. In fact, you’ll probably just wing it… again. Either way, your kids can have a good school year full of learning, fun experiences, and relationship building. As you are doing your school prep, I wanted to remind you that your greatest teaching tool is… you. How you live before God will teach your children way more that any book curriculum, or experiment, or anything you could possibly say to them. So here are a few questions to help guide towards setting the most Christ-like example.

First, do you continually seek to be filled with the Spirit? When Paul emphasizes that we should “look carefully how we walk, being wise and understanding the will of the Lord (Eph 5:15-17),” he recognizes that we cannot do these things on our own. His solution for how to do these things is to “be filled with the Spirit so that we may encourage one another and be thankful toward God for everything.” (Eph 5:18-20) Realistically, we cannot do anything else in this passage without the help of the Holy Spirit. Paul knows that we are imperfect “leaky” vessels, which is why we need to continually be filled. Is that the example you are living out in front of your kids? Do they know that living a life of repentance allows the Holy Spirit to claim and redeem more and more of your heart?

Second, do you know where you draw your lines? Do you hold those lines faithfully despite the consequences that will follow? The book of Daniel lays out examples for us in chapters 1 and 3 of how to draw a line and stand. Daniel and his three friends determined in their hearts to trust God with their lives and God miraculously sustains them on an impossible diet and saves them from certain death. What is important to note in these two examples is that they make it clear that they will NOT compromise even if God chooses not to save them. Are you confidently trusting in the sovereign God who always holds your life in His hands? Do you really believe that He is sovereign or do your children see fear or doubt ruling in your life?

Third, is sharing Christ with others your highest priority no matter what? The church that my family attends has been teaching through the book of Acts on Sunday mornings. I had the privilege of teaching through Acts 8:1-8. The trials faced by the early church included being hunted down, imprisoned, and even being executed for their faith in Christ. Because of this, they were forced from their homes into places they might not have chosen to go otherwise. Even through all these difficulties, they continued to “preach Christ” wherever they went. Too many times we go through hard situations in our lives, get focused on ourselves to the point that we question God, and then try making the case that we “don’t deserve” what is happening to us. Truthfully, we really don’t want to know or receive what we deserve, but that isn’t even the real issue. The real issue is that we were created and live for His glory. The fact is that our hardships are opportunities for God to be glorified and for unbelievers to see and be witness to His goodness. This is what Luke points out in Acts 8, that many came to salvation because of the suffering and hardships of believers because they were faithful to always preach Christ. Preaching Christ gives purpose to trial or hardship because God is glorified and proves that He really does “cause all things to work for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) That’s right, God can use your difficulties not only for your good, but for the good of others who are called according to His purpose and will love God even when they don’t know it yet.

I don’t know how many times you have said “ouch” or had an “aha” moment in the last few minutes, but I do hope you are challenged and encouraged in your faith as you strive to be Godly parents and teachers. (If you are interested in further exploring these ideas, some of this article was inspired by Alistair Begg’s book Brave by Faith.) As always, the PAACH board desires to help and support you throughout your homeschooling journey. We pray that your family learns together, grows together with others in community, and glorifies Christ in everything you do.

Raise a virtual hand if you can remember what years WWII was fought? Can you find the length of the hypotenuse? Do you know what a hypotenuse is? What element on the Periodic Table is abbreviated Sn? What about Os? Can you identify an intransitive verb in a sentence? How about a diphthong? And have the answers to any of these questions helped you be a more successful person?

As a homeschooling mom, you have probably felt the load of guilt from “not doing enough.” And by “enough”, you likely are comparing your homeschool curriculum with either your memory of school or with others around you as they attempt to “do school.”

It is imperative that we ask ourselves the question: “What is really important in the education of my children?” instead of assuming that the system has it figured out.

Do we want our children to be good at school, good at tests, or educated in a meaningful way that will benefit them in their real lives? Force yourself to think outside of your experience and see the difference between schooling and educating.

“I’ve come to realize that being “academic” doesn’t tell you much about yourself. It tells you you’re good at school, which is fine if you plan to spend your life in academia, but very few of our students do. It doesn’t indicate whether or not you’ll be successful in your marriage, raising your kids, managing your money, or giving back to your community. All things that matter much more than being good at school.

School should be a place where kids can discover what they love. They should be able to ask the questions that matter to them and pursue the answers. They should discover what they are passionate about, what truly sets their hearts and souls on fire. They should discover they can make a difference now. Above all, they should leave school knowing what they are good at.” (English teacher, Shelly Wright, Academic Teaching Doesn’t Prepare Students for Life)

Because we only have so much time in a day, and so many days in a year, and just like that, our children are done with their education.

So What Matters?

Is it not true, that we believe an education is the key to [earthly] success? So why is it that so much of what is included in a standard education has nothing to do with being successful? And shouldn’t we be concerned enough about that to question the status quo?

Here is my opinion of what really matters when it comes to a practical preparation for life: (It’s a given that I believe everything should be undergirded with our love and fear of the Lord. The following are more practical things as it relates to earthly success.)

1. Financial Literacy

Honestly, I think this is at the top of the list of things that will MOST impact our children in their practical lives. Because no matter what academic subjects are mastered in school, if a person grows up without a solid foundation of how money works, how to manage it and make it and how to keep it, it will matter little what he does for a living or what he scored on his ACT.

The truth is, we’re preparing our kids to have a family and make a living. That’s pretty much what we all grow up to do, one way or another. On the financial side of things, our kids have more opportunities than ever before, to make money doing what they love. But, they have to see it and have an intelligent grasp of economy in the real world.

Schools, in tragic irony, aren’t giving our children a solid foundation of economy and real-life finances, on which most of their earthly success will depend. We love Dave Ramsey’s Foundations in Personal Finance for high school.

2. The Three Rs

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Our children need a good foundation in these three, and after that, the sky is their limit. We live in an age where information is innite. Our children have anything they want to know at their ngertips. They just need to know how to access that information and the freedom to do it. We can’t learn a fraction of everything. So why not learn what we’re interested in, because that’s the only thing that we will retain anyway. Really, our job is pretty simple. And if we think that their education is limited to what we impart to them, we’re wrong.

3. Relationships & Conflict Resolution

Because, life and people.

4. Problem-Solving

We have two choices as we live life. Complain and despair, or find solutions to our inevitable problems. We need to be talking prolifically to our children about the right choice of facing our problems head on with an optimistic, problem-solving stamina. Largely, a person’s success will depend on his willingness and ability to solve life’s problems. The end.

5. Character

Even though this is listed last, it really encompasses the others and isn’t necessarily just an item in the list. Diligence, honesty, integrity–these are the traits that, along with the aforementioned things, will serve our children well, bringing them success in their endeavors. The Bible bears it out, and so does experience. Character is best taught by our living example, so we have our work before us. Let us live lives worthy of emulation.

So what I really want to say to you, my fellow homeschooling mama is this: chill out. It’s OK if your kids can’t answer all the questions on Jeopardy. Granted, that would be impressive, but we shouldn’t be about the business of impressing. You’re doing more than you think. The endless worksheets aren’t going to make a big difference in your child’s ultimate success. Even the test scores can be a decoy from true learning.

Keep it simple and homeschool on.

Greetings PAACH homeschooling families. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of making memories with family and giving thanks to God for all the many blessings He has given you. Now, as we look towards Christmas, I want to encourage you to remember God’s greatest gift. Jesus came offering salvation to all who trust in Him. He gave us the precious gifts of hope and forgiveness.

Christmas is a time to experience great hope. You may be wondering, “how do I experience this hope?” In his letter to the Romans, Paul proclaimed “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may over ow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Rom 15:13) According to Paul, hope begins when you trust in Him and grows as your trust in Him grows. As you trust Him, you are filled by the Holy Spirit with joy and peace which overflows your heart with hope. The challenge for us is to look for opportunities to trust God every day. Do you and your family look for ways to exercise your trust in Him? Do you look for ways to be a blessing to others so that God may draw others to Himself through you? If you want to increase your hope, look for opportunities to serve and bless others and share your hope with them. “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” (Rom 5:5)

Jesus has also given us the incredible gift of forgiveness. This gift can be received over and over again. John tells us that “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) Forgiveness is offered to us as many times as we need through confession. However, this gift comes with one caveat…it must be given as freely as it is received. Paul tells us to “be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Eph 4:32) Jesus warns us that this gift can be revoked if it is not given. (Matt 6:14-15) In fact, forgiveness is so important that it can hinder our worship. Jesus says that we should reconcile with our brother before offering worship before God. (Matt 5:24) The Christmas season is the perfect time to reconcile (if possible) with a brother or sister. Look for opportunities to share the gospel with someone and help them receive the gift of forgiveness this holiday season.

The PAACH board wants to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We pray that you experience the gifts of hope and forgiveness through Jesus Christ this year. The board also desires to help and support you throughout your homeschooling journey. We also desire to help you disciple your children by providing encouragement, wisdom, and resources that will enable you to be Godly parents who lead your children towards Christ. We pray that your family learns together, grows together with others in community, and glorifies Christ in everything you do.

Greetings PAACH homeschooling families. I hope your homeschooling journey has been exciting and full of adventure so far this school year. I’m sure you have had your challenges as you endeavor to grow with your kids and show them how to live every day to glorify God. I want to share a little bit about my experiences navigating the difficulties of walking your child into adulthood. I also want to touch on the importance of finding joy during those difficulties.

One of the goals you should have for your child is to grow into a responsible adult. Teaching them how to think critically and weigh out consequences will go a long way in helping them to learn from their mistakes (which they WILL make). As parents, we tend to set unrealistic expectations on our children. When this happens, we are almost sure to overreact and be too hard on them when they mess up. This can exasperate your child and cause them to become discouraged (Col 3:21) You want to build your child up in the Lord, teach them self-discipline, and give them the tools they need to continue to learn and grow as an adult. If we are to be God’s representative, then we must learn to follow His pattern of discipline. In scripture, God often warns us of consequences while still leaving the choices up to us. I have tried to do this with my children starting around the age of 12. I will often talk with them about a problem they are facing and help them weigh out possible choices and the consequences. Then I remind them that they are the one who has to live with their choice and let them choose. This process has helped my wife and I keep a strong relationship with our children and gives an opportunity to build trust. When your child makes a decision that results in the bad consequences you warned them about, they learn to trust your wisdom.

Another conversation that my wife and I have with our kids regularly is that we are for them just like God is for us. We assure them that we are not wanting to control them, but rather teach them to control themselves. When they are younger the consequences come from you as the parents, but as they grow older the consequences come from God. Many are built into His design, and some come from His discipline directly. (Hebrews 12:5-11) We also walk them through the process of repentance, restitution, and reconciliation. God’s design in the law (throughout Leviticus) shows that God wants us to make right the damage done by our bad choices. This seems to be a lost concept in today's Christianity, but it is necessary for those in a church to maintain good relationships. The fact is that saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t magically fix our mistakes. However, it can be a good first step when accompanied by an acknowledgement of the hurt caused and an effort to replace or rebuild what has been broken. The truth is, teaching these things is in itself painful because they must be taught by example. Some time of self-reflection on how you handle fixing your mistakes might be beneficial at this point. What kind of example are you living out when you make a mistake and hurt your spouse or child?

Finally, I want to share a practice that has helped my wife and I through some pretty tough times when our children’s decisions have hurt us deeply. At times, we have felt disrespected, betrayed, attacked, discouraged, and incredibly frustrated as a result of a child’s bad decision. We have often asked ourselves these questions:

1. Did I make this mistake when I was their age?
2. Have I treated God the way I feel my child is treating me?
3. How did my parents respond when I made this mistake? Was it helpful or hurtful to me?
4. How can I love my child in this situation?

When it comes to the end of the day, we strive to restore the relationship with that child because that’s what God does. No matter what we do, God works it for our good because what is best for us is to remain in relationship with Him. He always draws us back towards Himself. No matter what your kids do, they will always be your kids. You love them because God loves you and your kids. One last tip: Enjoy the times when you are in good relationship. Remembering the joyful times can be very helpful when persevering through the hard times. I pray that you will have much joy in your family.

The PAACH Board desires to help and support you throughout your homeschooling journey. We also desire to help you disciple your children by providing encouragement, wisdom, and resources that will enable you to be Godly parents who lead your children towards Christ. We pray that your family learns together, grows together with others in community, and glorifies Christ in everything you do.
