Homeschooling is a lifestyle, a method of preparing a you to teaching yourself to find out what you want to know, for the rest of your life!<br/>It is interesting to note all the comments of one gets about homeschooling "even through highschool". I think the "classroom" method of sitting down with mom or dad as teacher at the white board is actually better for younger children to help instill the basics. And use highschool to pursue interests and hone your self teaching skills. I know for myself this was the case, I largely self taught through highschool with all those great curriculums geared directly toward the student. Mom mainly corrected my papers! “I am a homeschooler” I think that is the ultimate statement of a successful homeschool graduate!

In fact, it's been easier and less stressful than when I was home and had to plan out my own lessons. But, I much prefer the home-learning way. I am very much someone who learns best on their own, though there have been some good things about the classroom. This is my first semester at college, so it's been quite a change, but I have adjusted pretty easily. <br/><br/>I enjoyed your post - thanks for sharing!

I recently graduated from homeschooled high school, and because of the love of learning that was instilled in me and the realization that it can take place outside the classroom, I still consider myself to be 'in school.' I'm still reading, still learning, still pursuing my educational interests, though I won't be going to college until next fall. Great post, Claire!
