Homeschooling Grandmothers Unite!
Joyce in Maine wrote to me today:
"Thank you!! we are late to homeschooling. I am a grandparent of an 11th grader who is now raising her. Our decision to home was just made this week and we are doing ok, but floundering around at times. My daughter (her aunt) homeschools her kids and has been an enormous help. I have found your letter to have some really great stuff in it. We want her to go to college but she is so much happier doing this at home and I can use all the help I can get. great newsletter, thanks so much"
It reminded me of how many homeschooling grandmothers I met at the last homeschool convention. Here is my response to her:
"Dear Joyce,
You are so welcome! Boy, I'm seeing more and more grandparents homeschooling these days. Schools are just SO different than they used to be! I'm really proud of you for taking on such a big job. I must say, I've seen grandparents be EXTREMELY successful when the teen is willing and eager to stay home. If you ever feel like you are in over your head, my DVD is a nice overview. It's intended for homeschoolers with 9th and 10th graders, but since you are just starting, it would be perfect.
Have a great day!
Blessings,
Lee"

Joyce,
You won't regret your decision! I am also homeschooling my two teen grandkids. We started when each one was in the middle of 7th grade and asked to come home. They are now 15 & 17 & the apple of my eye :)
It has changed my life dramatically, but the blessings FAR outweigh the cost!
I have become so passionate about it that I began a blog, HomeschoolThoughHighschool.com that I hope you will visit.
Blessings to you!
Sue
