ereks mom Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) I ask simply because I'm curious. And the reason I specified grades 1-12 instead of K-12 is because in most states (including mine), kindergarten is not mandatory. As for me, this is my 16th year of homeschooling. I homeschooled my oldest all the way through (he's now a college senior); my second child has been homeschooled all the way through so far (she's now in 11th grade) and I expect her to graduate from our homeschool in 2013.

Annie G Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have. Dd graduated a year ago and Ds will graduate in the spring. Our two older girls opted to attend high school but the younger two wanted to stay home. I'll retire from homeschooling in the spring...after 19 1/2 years.

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My oldest was homeschooled from pk-12th. He is now in the Navy. I schooled my middle son from pk-10th, he wanted to quit and get his GED so he went to a National Guard program and got his GED through them. He is leaving for the Army next month.

SapphireStitch Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have. My oldest is 22, and I homeschooled her from the beginning. She has been working as a nanny since graduating, but she's headed to college this winter. My kids are 12 years apart, so I basically have serial only children when it comes to teaching. DS is only in 4th grade, so I'm just getting started with him. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I wish there was a way I could put y'all on a favorites list so that I'd remember who has the kind of experience I should be listening to. :D (Obviously, my kids aren't old enough to have schooled any of them all the way through.)

KidsHappen Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) My 19 year ony went to 7th grade for PS, the 18 year old was home K thru graduation. The 15 year old has been in PS since the 6th grade and the youngest since the 5th grade. So I consider the oldest two homeschool graduates. They are both in college now.

DianeW88 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 So far two of mine have been homeschooled from pre-school through 12th grade. Neither one of them ever attended a brick and mortar school. My youngest is 10, so I'm about halfway through with him. I couldn't imagine ever doing anything else.

love2read Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) I've hsed 5 from the required age (here it is 6) through grade 12. Two are out of college and working, three are in college and two left at home. I wouldn't trade those years for anything, although it was daunting when they were all little. They are happy, pro-active, generous adults who have had great academic success :tongue_smilie: despite my blunders and as we all know, there have no problem making and keeping friends. When we started hsing, Rainbow Resource catalog was just a few pages listing used books! We kept the kids inside during the day and sometimes even closed the blinds.

Anne in CA Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have home schooled for fourteen years and I have homeschooled my son all the way through. He is in cc right now because that is all we can afford, but he probably could have been admitted to almost any school except Ivy League, or Stanford. He is doing well in CC so I guess I didn't mess him up too badly, lol. My youngest is 11 and she wants to go to school so badly she will probably wear me down. I won't send her to junior high, but I will try to afford private high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) through high school. Well, actually, the oldest two took a couple classes each at a public high school for one year before we moved to a state with better homeschool support for my other kids. They've all gone to college. The oldest dropped out to become a lineman so that he can support a totally homeschooled wife who is now homeschooling the oldest of their three kids with one more baby on the way. The other four are still in college working on grad or undergrad degrees. I have one left at home who is in fifth grade so I guess I'll be homeschooling for quite a while longer:) It's been fascinating to see all the new homeschool materials come out the last few years.

74Heaven Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have homeschooled one all the way thru. She graduated in June 2010. #2 daughter was homeschooled birth thru grade 10 and is in her second year (and senior year) of a private Christian high school. She went to private school thru a combination of a (true) co op oppty falling thru, being in advanced classes beyond my expertise nor interest in learning/teaching, unique oppty and because I felt stretched beyond what I could bear with my eldest and three littles and her academic needs were not being well met at home. Next three are 14yo, 11yo & 8yo and Lord willing, we'll be hsing all the way thru high school. Lisaj, hsing my 15th year and tired :) but hoping to be re-energized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We've homeschooled our kids from the start - just graduated our first this past May, she's thriving at a private univ., living at home, in the honors program. We're also the rare breed that did no co-op academics with our oldest. (That said, our son is doing a TOG online class this year and LOVES it!) I thought it would get easier- and in some ways, it is - but in others it's just more. . .complicated. They are all getting older, and I'm not getting any more energy! These are sweet days, and someday I will miss them. . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Well, I would have, but I couldn't start until he was in fourth because I didn't marry his dad until then.

GardenMom You've done a GREAT job and you seem to get better at this all the time! :hurray: I will add that DD18 brought 71 credit-hours into college with her all counting toward her degree, so you *really* did K-12 + 2 with her! Still, it seems that she likes college so much that she wants to spend four years there and learn all she can. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
