New Radio Program Discusses Education Alternatives

PHILADELPHIA, June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- A new radio program called "Learning By Grace Moment" debuted today on 225 Christian radio stations throughout the country. Every new edition will feature thought provoking questions and comments about the state of education and some alternative solutions.

"The 'Learning By Grace Moment' is an inspiring and stimulating look at educational issues facing parents today," said Mimi Rothschild, Executive Producer of the program and Chief Executive Officer of Learning By Grace, Inc. Learning By Grace, Inc. is the nation's leading provider of online educational programs for Christian homeschoolers.

This "Moment" was picked up by the American Family Radio network (http://www.afr.net/) which has 175 stations of its own and another 50 affiliates. AFR features Contemporary Christian music and nationally-known preachers and leaders. "Whether it's a story about prayer in public schools, workplace restrictions on Christians or battles for biblical truth within our denominations, AFR News is there to tell you what the newsmakers are saying," says Fred Jackson, News Director of AFR News.

"Many parents feel that the school system is failing their children. We are seeking alternatives. We need answers," said Rothschild. Homeschooling is becoming an increasingly popular solution for many families with an estimated 2 million families currently teaching their own children at home. For most families, the mother provides much of the instruction and does the bulk of the planning, grading and curriculum gathering. Rothschild believes this method of homeschooling, which she refers to, as "homeschooling the old-fashioned way," can be prohibitive for many families. "After trying to educate my 8 children the old-fashioned way for 14 years, I finally realized the best solution was to use technology to do the busy work for me!"

"We're privileged to reach families and other stakeholders with our compelling and provocative 'Learning By Grace Moments,'" said Rothschild. "We hope that these stories will provoke discussion on education alternatives in America."
