Teens, and Unschooling
I've been unschooling my boys for over a year now, and I'm having concerns that I'm missing something in their education in the areas of Math and English.They've never had much of an interest in writing, even if I asked them to write about something they loved using the computer they wouldn't have an interest in writing about it. Is this something that I should just let go, or should I be encouraging them more in this area?And when it comes to Math they have a good foundation on the basics,…See More

"First and foremost, I am a mom to 9 little ones. I have been lovingly home educating for 9 years. I have been through it all as a school at homer, Cyber Schooler, eclectic and now an unschooler by heart. I am a certified teacher for K-8. I have worked with children of all ages, gender and nationalities for years and children are my passion! I truly believe that children and people grow daily, it is part of our nature. Spring 2010 is my fourth year evaluating. I am also happy to do consulting and support of burnt out moms (I have been there!). I am opposed to over-compliance and I am happy to help you learn the laws. I will travel for groups, do distance or in-person evaluations. I would be happy to work out whatever system will make your child most comfortable with the process." (added 5/07, updated 4/10)
