Do you really homeschool other people’s kids? I’ve always wondered about that.
We have enjoyed homeschooling so much, and been heartbroken actually at times when we meet kids who really *need* to be home, but whose parents just can’t make it happen, that we wondered about homeschooling other kids after ours are grown. Thoughts?
Yes, I do. They're all over 16 so I can beat the state at their own game. All my students come to me thru recommendations, and I almost always *try* to work with their school counselors to make sure the kid is getting what they need (credit wise).
I figure it's half teaching and half social work! It's very gratifying.
It all started with our youngest son, who was..ahem..a bit of a handful.
There's always a kid out there who just really needs one-on-one (or one explosive year it was five-on-one!) attention. They bloom!
