State Capitol Becomes the Classroom for Homeschoolers |
|
March 2013 - Academy Days Co-op students Luke Lemire of Calera, Lynn Nelson of Deatsville and Cameron Mercer of Holtville learn first-hand that studying politics and government is not boring with the state Capitol as their classroom and state lawmakers as their teachers.
During TeenPact in March, the high school students met state legislators in Montgomery and worked with other homeschoolers around the state to write their own bill and pass it in a mock legislation using parliamentary procedure.
Every year interested students in Academy Days Co-op in Millbrook participate in TeenPact, a Christian nonprofit organization that offers students a hands-on way to learn about state government. Visit http://www.teenpact.com for more information about TeenPact.
