Listening to the Teens

In Their Own Words

Everyone's aware that homeschooling is more popular every year. Still many parents have questions about whether it's the right choice for their teen. We're looking for teens and young adults who spent their teenage years homeschooling. Some of you tried school briefly, while others never bothered.  But now it's time to come to the REAL experts - and hear what that was like   As a homeschooling mom, I sat at many a park day listening to the teenagers quell the other parents' fears about their kid getting into college, meeting other teens, having a full, rich life.  More and more conferences are springing up with panels of teens sharing their experiences. Still, many more parents, teens and younger kids will never get the chance to hear directly from the homeschooled teens. Until now!


This book is going to be a simple collection of comments from teens. Readers will be able to read what YOU have to say on various aspects of homeschooling.  Because everyone's experience has been different, you'll be able to show how creating an individualized approach to learning has worked for youl! 


We're trying to find as many homeschooled teens as we can, so feel free to share the link!  You don't have to have composed an opera by 19, sailed around the world, or have started a popular rock band. We want to hear from teens who are busy living their lives - it just happened that they were homeschooled during their teenage years.
