The
Satisfied Learner: How Families Homeschool their Teens
Some parents balk at the very thought of homeschooling their
teen. After all, it's one thing to teach your daughter how to

Self-Direction,
Engagement, and Success
She remained enrolled in my school for over two years, during
which time she did no work aimed specifically at academics. She
did remodeling with her contractor father, worked in a day camp
and a day care center, played volleyball, was part of an animal
rescue team, did some traveling, and tried living on her own.
Her endeavors allowed her to be in motion. By Wes Beach.
