Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start.All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains.My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.

  Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London.We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set.When we got to station, I left my husband and started looking around the shops.Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me.But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.

  When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there.So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea.I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him.He looked very happy.Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box.“Oh, dear!”I thought.Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions.We shall not be going to the sales again.

  Children are our future,and it's up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed.Sadly,today's children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons(武器),drugs and gangs.Once a relatively peaceful environment,many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.

  Home schools are available to give you choices.Home schooling provides top-quality education,flexibility,and freedom to create your own schedule(日程表).At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.

  Thanks in part to modem technology,home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation.A recent study by the ITBS(Iowa Tests of Basic Skills)and TAP(Tests of Achievementand Proficiency)shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average.In every subject at every grade level,students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.

  If you're new to home schooling,you may be asking yourself,“Will home school really work for my children?”

  Fact:A nationwide study using a random(任意)selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring,on average,at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.

  Note:The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.

  Collectively,the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum.We'ye placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.

  One study found that of the home schooled aduhs,94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.
