How long have I homeschooled?... and you?

[ThelmaLou]

I count since kindergarten. So we're about to finish up our 8th year.

I'm a newbie...this is our first year...and lovin' it!! :D

I count from 1st grade. My children have always been at home. I tend to answer with "from the beginning."

[Txmom]

would not have it any other way. I know where my dd is and that she is not being bullied at school.

We have enjoyed this journey and have 5 more years to go.

[Sugarfoot]

has me asking myself, "Where has the time gone?!" When people ask us if we've "always" homeschooled, I assume they mean from kindergarten, and I say "yes," that's all we've ever done and we love it! So, my oldest is now in 6th, which means it's been 7 years! How can that be?:)

I count since Kindergarten, that would make it almost 10 years.

We've homeschooled 5 years, almost 6. We brought my middle son out of ps in the 2nd semester of 2nd grade, my oldest daughter in the 2nd semester of 5th grade and my youngest son has always been at home.

I started when my oldest was in 7th grade. This year is my first-time doing first grade and I am graduating the first student this year too. I have 5 years down and 14 to go.

We are close to finishing our first year of K and 3rd!

I usually say "we've always homeschooled." It's hard to say exactly when we began formally schooling her. When I taught her to read? When we did our first Kumon workbook? :confused:

 

If pressed, I'd probably count only the years that she would otherwise have been enrolled in public school, including kindergarten. Although K is not technically required in our state, it is universally available and I've never met a kid who goes to school who didn't attend in K. So...

My ds has never been enrolled in public or private school either, so I count from when we began "formally" schooling, which was Kindergarten. This is our 4th year of hs.

[Stacy]

And we started when our oldest was 5..... so it's been 12 years for us.....wow..where has time gone.:confused:

I started counting in K, although with my oldest I did way more preschool than any child should be forced to do :001_smile:
