| Accredited Homeschooling Provider Sees Enrollment Take Off Due To The 4-Hour Work Week Success Posted: 19 Apr 2010 04:09 AM PDT | Nationwide Homeschooling provider Citizens' High School noticed an increase in enrollment. When they learned the source of the increased demand the school administrators where surprised. The 4-Hour Work Week has inspired parents to travel abroad with kids. Orange Park, Florida (PRWEB) April 19, 2010 -- Citizens' High School has been enjoying a surge in enrollments. The Homeschooling Materials Provider noticed during a marketing audit, that many new customers were the result of New York Times bestselling author Timothy Ferriss' book The 4-Hour Work Week. Ryan Dallas who works in Citizens' admissions department had never heard of the book previously. Mr. Dallas "All these customers where calling and saying how they wanted to homeschool their kids and travel the world". This new lifestyle is made possible by the clever use of outsourcing, the 20/80 principle, and "income muses" that are described in the book. The 4-Hour Work Week has become like a cult hit. The basics of the book are to use the Paretto Principle (or the 20/80 rule) that gives you 80% of the results with 20% of the effort. When this is applied to "income muses" via outsourcing, the result is that a lot of income can be made with only 20% of the current effort. This explains the attraction to the book as many people would love to earn 80% of their current income working only 20% as much. Having less income, may result in a better lifestyle if the reader uses a technique called "geo-arbitrage). Essentially it is earning income from one place, like the USA, while living in a place with a cheaper cost of living such as Argentina. Citizens' High School has been a DETC accredited High School since 1981. The DETC accreditation is considered the benchmark accreditation to have for educational institutions. Their office is located in an 8000 sq ft office in Orange Park Florida, but they serve student both nationally and internationally.

| Unschooling: No Tests, Books or Classes? Posted: 19 Apr 2010 07:05 AM PDT The Biegler children live as though school doesn't exist. They're at home all day, but they're not being homeschooled. They're being "unschooled." There are no textbooks, no tests and no formal education at all in their world. What's more, that hands-off approach extends to other areas of the children's lives: They make their own decisions, and don't have chores or rules. Christine Yablonski and Phil Biegler of Westford, Mass., are self-described "radical unschoolers." They allow their teen daughter and son to decide what they want to learn, and when they want to learn it. "They key there is that you've got to trust your kids to … find their own interests," Yablonski told "Good Morning America." Yablonski described unschooling as "living your life as if the school system didn't exist." When asked how their children learn things like math, she said, "If they need formal algebra understanding, then they will, they'll find that information." Asked by "Good Morning America" about how they could parent without any rules, Phil Biegler said, "We find that we don't need a whole lot of rules." "They might watch television," Yablonski said. "They might play games on the computers." "They might read," her husband added. Most children will always choose television over reading every time, but Yablonski said that "the key there is that you've got to trust your kids to ... find their own interests." She isn't worried that her daughter stays up all night, because "she's getting everything done that she wants to get done."
