Home Schooling/Expert Profile

Expertise

I was homeschooled nearly all my life. I homeschooled through most of elementary school and all of high school. I can answer questions on meeting friends, support groups, curriculum choices, and anything else relating to homeschooling. Ask me - I'ved LIVED what I`m talking about.

Experience in the area

My first experiance with learning was reading in the first grade, taught by my mom. For high school, my learning was a mixture of homeschool group classes, self-taught class work, and one-on-one teaching by my parents. I was able to skip 2nd and 8th grades with my homeschooling education. After I graduated high school at the age of 16, I went to college and graduated "Magna Cum Laude" in 4 years with two degrees - BA in Psychology and BA in French. I was the "Psychology Major of the Year" and winner of "Award for Achievement in French" during the senior year of my college. I worked between 15-25 hours a week in college in a variety of jobs. I spent my sophomore year abroad in France studying French (I took two years of French and 1 year of Latin in high school).

What do you like about this subject?

I definately think homeschooling is superior to ANY other type of schooling.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I look forward to homeschooling my own children one day.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Yes you CAN graduate from high school as a homeschooler! And yes, colleges WANT homeschoolers to go to their college!
