We have 4 grandchildren (one family) that has been home schooled right from the start. Our 18 year old grandson "graduates" in 2 weeks and has done amazing academically, socially and is an examplary employee. Last year he enrolled in the College Plus (dual enrollment) program and has thus far earned 39 college credits that are transferrable to most private colleges. He is planning a degree in Business Management. My daughter will have this coming school year a 7th,9th and 11th grader who are also academically and socially proficient. All very outgoing kids and very well respected by their peers. This has been a joint effort between daughter and son-in-law as he has worked 2 jobs so that she can continue their children's education. My daughter deserves the TEACHER OF THE YEAR award. She follows public school calendar and each year has everyone evaluated by the department of education (at her expense) even though she pays taxes to support the public schools. She doesn't consider snow days thus they are done with school in 2 weeks where the rest of MA will be going to almost end of June due to the harsh winter. She is involved in a very large Home School Cooperative and everyone is very much involved. My grandkids have never expressed an interest in public schools and they do participate in PE classes along with music , art and organized sports from baseball, basketball. swimming etc. The best part, they can attend class in their pajamas So proud of the teacher(s) and students in this family and am so proud of the young adults they are becoming
