RE: My Love Affair With Educational Technology, Teaching, & Homeschooling Part I - Harness Your Creative Energy
Hi, I homeschooled all my daughters from the beginning. When my oldest was in 3rd grade, she wanted to go away to school; so we let her go. After two months she was begging to come back home. I made her finish the year because I did not want her to be a quitter. I offered all my daughters the option of going to high school. They did not want to go. My youngest (technically still in high school), age 16, is starting junior college in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
Inspiring. Were there any issues with development of their social skills, how did you go about finding ways to avoid any hangups in that area?
Hi, no we did not have issues with their social skills. When my daughters were young, I started a homeschool support group which helped to get them around their own kind. If you can't start your own, there are plenty of groups all over the country. Also, homeschoolers are known for forming educational co-ops. When they got older, I let them do extracurricular activities at the high school. Homeschooled kids can go into the school system just for sports, band, clubs, chorus, and other activities.
