We're one "seasoned" homeschooler and one "new," each with a different family constellation.
Sophia: Neither of my children went to school. They are now teens, one is in college and the other is high school age. I have been active for years in my local homeschooling support group, and am a co-founder of the nonprofit, statewide Advocates for Home Education in Massachusetts, Inc.
Anne: Anne is in her first year of homeschooling, having taken her child out of school. She brings a fresh perspective.
intended audience
Intended audience is teens and adults who are thinking about homeschooling, just getting started, or who just want to know more about it.
