This article is the 1st of 3 in a series for computer based Homeschooling African American children during Black History Month. It's aim is to suggest a standards goal for teaching our children at home in order to provide them with an exceptional education to insure their future. Homeschooling using a computer to bring the enormous amount of information into our children's classroom during Black History Month can be a critical tool to reaching a parents goal for a quality education.

Now while teaching your child to be like Fredrick Douglass can seem like an impossible task, let's look at a quote from Fredrick Douglass himself to see what his thoughts would be...

Frederick Douglass once told a group of African American students from a school in Talbot County, Maryland, "What was possible for me is possible for you. Do not think because you are colored you cannot accomplish anything. Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge. So long as you remain in ignorance, so long will you fail to command the respect of your fellow men."

So preparing your children to join the list of famous African Americans should not seem all that much of a challenge if we support our children to listen to Fredrick Douglass - "Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge." That's not too hard of a standard to set for computer based homeschooled children or their parents. There are a few steps that can be taken to effectively support homeschooled children in reaching the goal of becoming an orator, motivational speaker, and one day join the list of famous African Americans.

All the experts, pundits, educational consultants etc., etc., were right reading is always fundamental. It fundamental in the his-story of Fredrick Douglass, it's fundamental in the her-story of Buchi Emecheta a Nigerian author, fundamental enough for her to strive to be a librarian. Reading to children inspires them to read and generates a bond that will last always. It is just as important to suggest to your children what to read, and guide them into books written by and about the great African American heritage.

If you would like for your child to be an orator like Fredrick Douglass, the Sage of Anacostia, a most eloquent and skilled public speaker then give them an audience at an early age. I been in homeschools in Chicago, Miami, Baltimore, Houston, and other cities and sometimes have seen parents take a microphone away from the 4 year old to give it to a child who is uncomfortable speaking.

If you have a child that seems to like the sound of their voice, then you may have a public speaker on your hands and it is your duty to give them the opportunity to become eloquent and skilled. At the same time if your daughter just has the courage to speak and not the vocabulary then she c
