My sons were homeschooled from 2nd grade through 12th grade. They were performing at college graduate levels by 7th grade. Both were early decision admissions to William and Mary. The oldest graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa and was awarded a PhD in Economics from the University of Virginia. The youngest (our family’s “party animal”) was a cum laude English major with an MBA in finance and a decorated combat Marine and is now a real estate developer and model dad.

Our family was happy with homeschool.

Kudos.

Several of our kids deeply resented being homeschooled.

Until they matured.

All now are extremely grateful, the ones who resented it then the most grateful.......

Eldest was first homeschooled kid admitted to major university - got a 5 year full-ride, custom put together by them. Math dept. said to admissions, “Are you now admitting a level of students we’ve never seen before?” He’s the one with all the degrees.

Kids got their smarts & hard-work ethic from their mom. They got their good looks from me........their mom still has hers....... ;-)
