Thanks, Will Clark, for this article about our kids' Art Show at the Warwick Library. I would like to emphasize that Enrich Rhode Island is a strong secular presence that is much needed for the many families in Rhode Island who do not home school for religious reasons. Secular reasons for home schooling can be the strength of individualized attention to build on each child's strengths, as well as ensuring that respect for others is intrinsic to the learning process. Some secular home schooling families do adhere to a religion or are spiritual people, but do not choose to make those personal choices part of their decision to home school. Your article is wonderful and flattering. However, I don't want to leave your readership with the impression that the majority home school for religious reasons, or even health reasons. A portion do, but the secular home educating community is ever-growing. We see the world as our classroom and the various approaches to any subject as our buffet of information. We appreciate the Warwick Library for allowing us this exhibit space and our Enrich Rhode Island leadership for organizing the event and hanging the art! Thanks for the positive words, Will Clark! ~Susie Leahy
