Do you really homeschool other people’s kids?

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!

WOW! That sounds so wonderful-—and God bless you for what you are doing for each of these children and our nation. Really, every time a kid stays on track and becomes a solid citizen, and then passes that on to his family, it starts an upward instead of downward spiral.

I take it since 16 year olds can drop out of school, they can be homeschooled without the state saying boo about it? Do you / can you charge for this (just wondering if the state would be on your case if you did)?
