Just curious are there any other parents out there who homeschool their kids?I'm going on my 4th year of it and we all love it

nope... not me

My daughter is in an amazing public school - she'll be going into 2nd grade.

Keep up the good work, glad it's working for ya'll.

I've been home schooling my kids for the past three years. I graduated my son early, and now at 17 he has his own business, and my 15 year old daughter, who was a little behind in the public school, is a grade ahead of where she should be. They weren't too thrilled with it at first, but seeing the results, they are glad we did it.

thats awesome indigo.It's so hard to find other single parents who homeschool.i know it's just a very hard job to undertake.and WOW you're doing highschool as well.My oldest is in 6th grade and i'm starting to think about those highschool years and how we will conquer it lol.I know it's doable and should be very interesting.

It's actually becoming more prevalent in my area, I've given information to and helped three people around here get started, and mailed stuff, including copies of some of my IHIPS and reports to someone from the other site I'm on who had a friend that wanted to follow that route. It's just so much more beneficial to have that one on one, more indepth interaction, not just between parent and child, but with no distractions, they learn more in a shorter time-and you are sure they actually understand it before moving on, but you get to learn more about and from them-not only as your child, but how they learn, adapt, and progress as students. Also, they were always outgoing kids, but actually "completely" learning the material, they started using it more and have gained a new level of confidence. I also incorporated things such as indepth health studies, home/car repairs, art/music, life skills such as cooking, laundry, money management, community projects, etc., in addition to the regularly mandated subjects.

Exactly!!!

Congrats, homeschoolers! Y'all are awesome. :)

awww thank you heavenly

Thank you, I have considered it a learning experience for myself as well as my kids, and a privelege.

it so is a learning experience for all of us!!!do you ever find it hard to explain to people you date indigo? it's always an interesting conversation and i have such a passion for it but i think it's one of those thing you either get or dont lol

Actually, I don't really date per se. Since I started, I have only "dated" one person, which lasted a year, although usually anyone I mention it to is fascinated. Even though we all went through the process growing up, as adults we just take it for granted that we know all this stuff. When I started the whole process it was a little weird, you have to kind of rearrange your thinking as you know it as an adult, try to remember how you were taught things as a child, and devise a logical, focused, and consistently progressive plan. After a few weeks it gets easier as a rhythm develops, but at first I was like "what the heck did I get myself into"? Also, I took regents courses for, and majored in Math, but some things have changed since I was in school, and a couple of things they renamed, so with a few things I had to learn the updated methods myself, then teach them. Kind of a involuntary refresher course, lol.
