I would like to say thank you to all of the single moms on this page who are homeschooling. How you became a single mom notwithstanding, I am proud of you for being committed to your children and making the decision to homeschool; I know it can’t be easy.
As a homeschool graduate, I am a huge fan of parents being in charge of their children’s education and plan to homeschool my future children no matter what.
God bless all you out in there in homeschool land! You rock! 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have just recently found your blog. Thanks for doing a post like this. I always feel like i don’t belong. I am a single working mom homeschooling an adopted son who is a different race than me and has special needs. Although our homeschool group is wonderful I do feel out of place mainly being the only single mom. It is nice to hear that there are others!

I have to disagree with the point that these families look typical. They don’t. They look wholesome and diverse 😉

Love this post! Diversity in homeschooling!!
We are all different but united in one thing — educating our children at home. We need to look for the common areas and support one another instead of drawing silly lines about what a homeschool family should look like. (There is no should!)

Oh wow can I relate. I’m a mom of three bio with hopes and dreams to expand via adoption. My two oldest attended attended a traditional school until they graduated. My daughter was in a brick and mortar school until grade 8. Which we then pulled her and started schooling on line at home. The teachers plan her curriculum. But we plan how and when she learns it. We are not the typical around here. She does most of the work with out constant direction from me. Together we work on what speed she does it.
I do like the fact that I can teach her about Christianity but it is not the reason we decided to go this way.
We honestly take it year by year. She is currently working on her grade 10. “High school” is interesting.
