I'm working on a reading list for homeschool and need help....what books did you guys read in school, wish you read in school, or feel are impactful for middle school and high schoolers? Are there any age-appropriate books that deal with current issues (race, alternative life-styles, mental health, religious differences) and show different points of view? I want my children to understand others without overly graphic inclusions. Thanks for your suggestions!

As a trained teacher and a mother who homeschools....this is a good start to fixing the education system. The biggest shock I got when we started homeschooling was how much healthier and happier my entire family was. It was an almost instant change. Simple, child-centered learning works miracles. https://rumble.com/vxiuwg-the-simple-art-of-learning-full-presentation-natalie-cline.html?mref=qe71q&mc=646q5

Just thought this should be shared....Interesting changes to doctrine within the church. https://theutahmonthly.substack.com/p/no-poor-among-us-jenna-carson?s=r

I'm not naive enough to think this never happens within the church but this is sickening....so tired of watching children suffer because the adults in their lives are so worried about appearance and reputation that they won't protect kids. This man should've never come in contact with children, especially one-on-one. The two-deep rule is there for a reason and, unfortunately, I have become suspicious of anyone who refuses to follow it because of things like this. https://www.fox9.com/news/from-registered-sex-offender-to-church-leader

Many of the promptings I’ve followed lately have drawn criticism, even from those in the Church. But, they’ve led me away from my reliance upon the world and towards my understanding that I rely upon God. I’ve learned that quietly having faith will not save me. That simply knowing the truth of the instruction I’ve been given isn’t enough. I must choose to follow it, against all odds, logic, and learning of men. I have to have faith…. And a cannon. https://tacosandtestimonies.com/2022/02/20/faith-and-a-cannon/

In the scriptures, we are warned of false prophets and secret combinations. In ancient Egypt, magicians spoke over Moses using a mixture of science and lies. This man is predicting everything, and many are worshipping him. Utah state standards even call for children to be taught how much of a hero he is. This is not prophecy...this is evil. And it's insane to me how many people don't see it. https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-covid-19-severe-risks-reduced-another-pandemic-certain-2022-2
