Homeschooling Success!!!
Board: Homeschooling

I've posted on the homeschooling board off and on mostly to offer encouragement. I 'unschooled' my kids and allowed them to follow their passions from kindergarten until community college.

My daughter is dyslexic and didn't learn to read until the third grade. Almost three years behind her piers.

Today she got a call from Princeton University saying her application for grad school has been accepted!

I've been laughing and crying for hours now.

I am so very happy we choose homeschooling for her!

Congratulations to your daughter! And you! I taught for several years and I can honestly say if my children were school age, I would home school them. A child can be unschooled and learn everything they need to know to get into a good college and have a good life. Good job, Mom!

That is amazing! Congrats! I just had a conversation with my husband today - wondering about our homeschooling journey - and if I've been failing the kids.... as homeschoolers - we never have these thoughts, right??? :) This is my 10th year homeschooling - kids have never been to a B&M. I'm always worried I'm falling short. So good to hear success stories!!!
