I can answer some questions about how to do homeschooling, and what resources are available. I can talk about my experience homeschooling, and how children who have been homeschooled enter adulthood, and how they do.

I can answer pretty much any question about homeschooling, particularly in relation to the unschooling method. I am happy to answer questions from parents who are homeschooling their children or kids/teens who are being educated at home. I can also offer perspective on life after homeschooling, and what it`s like to be a grown homechooler in college and the workplace.

Creative art for children is my specialty (not curriculums in general, sorry). I am the author of twenty books on the subject ... books filled with art projects and art ideas. I would be happy to help think up projects for kids in particular areas of interest. Again, I am an expert in ART, but not really in "Crafts", and though I know how to make art work in a homeschooling environment, I am not a homeschool specialist. I`m happy to help. MaryAnn F.

I can answer questions about pros and cons, socialization, statistics, methods, curriculum, support, activities, and homeschooling preschool. I cannot answer specific questions about homeschool laws, but I can point you in the right direction. Deciding to homeschool is one of the BEST decisions I've made as a parent, and I would love to share my knowledge with you!

I specialize in information on teaching sign language to both deaf and hearing children. I also have a background in Early Childhood Education, Montessori, Teen Unschooling, religious education, and teaching hearing impaired. I have two independent-thinking grown children who homeschooled during part of their childhood. I will include links to web site resources when appropriate.
