I homeschooled in the 90’s and early 2000’s. It was the wild west back then. My millennial is an Aerospace Engineer now. Homeschooled elementary school to college. It’s good to see not much has changed, which is great IMHO!
Oh wow! Homeschooling parents are always anxious to find out whether homeschooled children can get ‘real’ jobs when they grow up. I would love to hear more about your child’s story.
This is so lovely. I was a home schooler from my last day of Montessori kindergarten to the first day of college, and I'm always interested in seeing how parents are doing it now.
I homeschooled my five kids who are now adults and now create documents to help get kids writing. If you guys are interested, I have created two books; one for boys and one for girls; of templates that encourage letter writing for kids. They can be purchased on my blog here: https://werockthepen.substack.com/p/encouraging-kids-to-write
Delighted to read this and I am sure your blog will give many home-schooling parents a much needed boost of confidence - as well as some helpful ideas!
Interesting project. It’s an area where I suspect, because there isn’t much publicly available data, a lot of people end up unnecessarily reinventing the wheel. (Sometimes triangular ones.) Very useful, and generous of you, to share your findings. Good luck!

I started writing a series: https://collettegreystone.substack.com/s/homeschooling
The first post details our story, but it’s sprinkled through out all of my writing there.
Many of the homeschooling parents I knew then have pretty successful kids.
Brilliant, subscribed!

That’s amazing! My children also went to a Montessori before the school years, it was heavenly.
I'm glad they had a good experience! I found it deeply frustrating, which is one of the reasons my parents decided to try home!
Oh no! But it clearly worked out well in the end ☺️
