The Art of Argument is one of my favorite logic curriculums. This text does not really teach one to argue but rather the logic behind the argument. There are twenty-eight informal fallicies presented and over sixty advertisments for items like blue jeans and pick-up trucks for sudents to apply the fallicies to.
This is a great course and I would highly recommend it. Click here for more info!

Everything I experience today is the result of something I thought, said, or did yesterday. If I don’t like what I am experiencing today, then I need to change today, the things I thought, said, or did yesterday so tomorrow will be better.
While I suppose there are exceptions to this rule, I use it a lot, especially when it comes to Homeschooling my children. If they are falling behind academically, missing the mark spiritually, lacking manners or etiquette, then I am responsible to determine what I have done to contribute and what I can do to ensure the results I experience tomorrow are better than what I got today.
Likewise, when I see them maturing into the awesome individuals that God created them to be, then I can be assured that as their father, what I did yesterday is what I should be doing today, so I will get similar results tomorrow.
As we begin a new school year, I am reminded to hold myself accountable to the goals that I have for my family. If I don’t like the results I am getting, then I must accept responsibility, determine what it is that I am saying, doing, or thinking that is producing the undesirable outcome, and make the necessary changes.
May God grant us the wisdom to see the right, the will to choose it and the strength to make it endure.
