Help me out... ask Andrea about homeschooling
If you haven't read my blogs yet, you should know that I love homeschooling and am quite passionate about it. So if you have any questions at all (and none are too stoopid) please ask... I and/ or Valorie will answer them for you!

Can I homeschool my daughter on the road?
I got this question from Salena:
I have a question,
I am a full time auditor Mystery Shopper. I make between 2000-4000 a month and it's not about Money, at all BUT I am always on the computer or traveling. My daughter is simply failing the 7th grade in Private school. When I travel, I need to take my Duaghter with me becuase I have no support. My sister is a Full time teacher and is willing to oversee. Is homeschooling a good idea for my daughter as she wants to travel with me when I go.
No father, he is dead. No support, as I moved 100's of miles from my family, so I can't legit travel without her.
Thanks Salena
I plan to write a full post on it by tuesday, but in the meanwhile, any imput from anyone is welcomed. |

Andrea asked me if I would like to give my opinion on Salena's question since I am a single working homeschooling parent. I have posted my response on my blog. Please feel free to take a look. |

Awesome idea for a forum! Hey, I have not so much a question but a rant, if you don't mind -- I've homeschooled my whole life. I was homeschooled, I'm teaching my kids at home, wouldn't have it any other way. But we just moved and I'm getting a lot of . . . well, the people at church are giving me a hard time because they don't understand why my kids are different from theirs. I would love to see a whole blog series on how to overcome these stupid people's comments, or if there has been a series, could you PM me a list of them? I don't have time to go hunting right now but I would love to read them if they've been written.

I think that having her daughter travel with her could be awesome! Think of all the things they could learn together. They can study the history of the places they go, and the time they'll spend together will increase her daughter's foundation, which is crucial to a good self-esteem and education anyway. I say go for it, and down the road, if you change your mind, you can always change it back.

Tristi,
Could you elaborate on the kinds of things they say? In what way are they thinking your kids are different? Maybe we could start a new thread with a list of comments, and then suggested responses can be posted, both here and in blog posts.

Sorry it took me seventeen years to reply to this -- life has been so crazy! I'll respond on the stupid questions forum Andrea started.
