Blueridge Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We entering our 20th year. Why is it that I am more confused now than in the beginning?? I think it's because my eyes have seen too much, and my heart longs for it ALL...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hm well, I pulled my daughter out of public school in March of her third grade year and homeschooled her for the rest of that school year. So not sure if that would "count" as a year or not. Then I homeschooled her for all of last year, for her fourth grade year. And this fall, we'll be starting to homeschool for her fifth grade year.

Guest Cindie2dds Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I voted my second year this fall. We bought Sonlight's PreK Cores four years ago, but I didn't really count PreK since it's not "official." We did K last year with my oldest, so this fall we will officially start year two. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Gosh, I was kind of shocked to realize that I'm getting ready to start my 7th year. My son is only going into 5th grade, but I decided to hold him back in kindergarten, so we did that twice. Wow! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Dang. I voted 5, but then realized that it's really 6. I still feel like such a newbie. We've never gone to PS though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5knights3maidens Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I can't believe we are going into our 10th year! Wow! It went so fast. I remember sitting on the floor with my dd, now in 11th grade, starting lapbooks. We were so excited. She did paper after paper. She was an ultimate homeschool kid!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in AL Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I can't *believe* we've hsed for 4 years already. We started our journey when the dc were starting grades 4 and 6. I still remember our first day of offical homeschool ~~~ the kids coming down the stairs in the pajamas & carrying their notebooks and HUGE smiles on their faces and all of us nervously giggling at each other throughout the day. I also clearly remembering thinking several times, as my heart beat wildly, "what have I done!? OMGoodness, am I nuts? Can I really do this?" Sigh. Fond memories, those are!! :001_smile: Where, oh where has the time gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't know what you meant by "official" homeschooling. That is kind of meaningless here in IL because we do not have to register or anything like that. I started actively homeschooling when my oldest son was 3. We went on field trips. We followed his passions to learn about bugs, dinosaurs, birds, science experiments. So, although he wasn't official school age for several more years, we were homeschooling. So, I have been at it for 13 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennismomkelly Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We're only on our 2nd year. I really wish that I would have started sooner with my oldest but I just wasn't brave enough to do it. However, my 2 youngest will be HS'd from the start. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryMelody Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Technically 5 years. Although I do feel like a 1st year homeschooler as we stumbled so much along the way. We are just beginning our 1st year of the WTM way of homeschooling. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaissezFaire Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I voted 7th and then realized it's our 8th! It goes so fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I have no clue. I voted 7th year because I know my son would be entering 7th grade and he's never been to school. So I've homeschooled at least for that long. But with an accelerated child, it's hard to say. I'm not entirely sure what would qualify as our 'official' homeschooling start. I mean, he was reading at 3, and into Harry Potter at 5. He did double digits multiplications at 5 too, while he was too young for kindergarten (he's a fall baby). Surely I was already homeschooling?

Desert Rat Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I had to stop and think. 6!!! I can't believe I've been doing this 6 years! And to think I was very reluctant when I started and now I can't imagine life any other way. What a fun, scary, emotional, rewarding ride it's been!

ereks mom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) I have two dc, one graduated in 2008 after having been homeschooled from 1st-12th, and another entering 10th this year, homeschooled since pre-K. This year, I'll be teaching the 6th grade dd of a friend this year in addition to my own dd. I plan to keep going even after my last one has graduated; I'd like to teachsmall groups of middle school girls OR small groups of K/1st.

mama2cntrykids Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Year 3 here. They haven't been sequential though. Both boys went to Kindy at the PS and my oldest also went to 2nd grade there. This is our second year in a row. Today was our first day in fact. We're doing MFW ECC for the older two and MFW Kindy for my 4 y/o. I'm NOT pushing her btw, she really, really wants to do it! ;). Barring anything outside of my control, we will continue to HS! Edited to add: I have a 4th grader, 2nd grader and Preschool/Kindergartner (she preschool aged, but we're doing a gentle Kindy curriculum).

That's another 8 years... plus 18 from there.... and hopefully that won't be my last... !!!!
