MommyX8 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We started in 1993. My oldest graduates from Moody Bible in 4 months. My next oldest also attends Moody. And my youngest is just 8 months. So, I guess that I have about another 18 years of this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've been offically home schooling for 7 years.

Guest Katia Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We are in our 13th year this year, having started at the tail-end of 1994. Oldest has graduated from our homeschool and is graduating from college this May with a BA in Computer Science. He already has an AA in Computer Science. Good old local community college. Middle is graduating from our homeschool this May. Youngest is only in 10th, so I have two more years to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxine in WA Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 This is my 10th year. Time sure has gone by quickly. My oldest dd is now 21, working full time, expecting her first child. My youngest dd is 14 1/2, a 9th grader, and getting older by the minute. I'm really looking forward to starting over with a toddler/preschooler when my grandbaby gets that old.

Marie in Oh Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Is that right if I have a 1 year old? Man, when I think of it that way, it really makes my head swim. Yikes. This is really not for the faint of heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Hen Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We've been full-timing hs'ing since fall of '99, so that means we are into our 8th year. Prior to that we were afterschooling for 3 yrs, and in those 3 yrs I taught my oldest DS to read cause the PS said he would never, ever read and there was NOTHING that anyone could do about it. Guess I'm not an anyone, just a mom with an attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieKris Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We're in our sixth year homeschooling, but I remember hanging out on these boards for the moral support before we made the decision to homeschool at LEAST a year before we started....

txbloobonnet Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 My oldest will graduate this year and we have been homeschooling since he was 4. I was very eager to get started back then.

dirty ethel rackham Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I needed an alternative to preschool when my oldest was going on 3. We heard about homeschooling and checked it out. The more we looked into it, the better it sounded. My oldest is now 14 years. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We started homeschooling when oldest ds was 4, a combo preschool/Kindergarden. Its been 4 fun years since then! We are now schooling 2nd grade, K and a preschooler. DD is sleeping during school for now! Next year should be fun with a 1 year old to work around!

KidsHappen Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 he older two will be here until graduations, The 5th grader will go to 6th gradr next year and it is possible that the 3rd grader will go to 4th. This would give me much more time for learning and writing myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 We started homeschooling in 1986, so I guess 21 1/2 years. My oldest ds is working on a double doctorate, my oldest dd is working on a teaching degree and working at Dillards, my middle ds works fulltime for Avis, and I'm still homeschooling my dd who is a sophomore and my ds who is in 6th grade. I have also homeschooled my nephew, my son's best friend and our mailman's daughter. God bless, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
