 Yes, Janette, I was!
If you go with the theory that we homeschool for the love of learning and that we want our children to be so engrossed in their education that they never stop...etc...etc...which I think Mom would eagerly subscribe to, then I could definitely vote for the 15 plus category!

I noticed!!
Louise, you are my heroine.
If Paddy homeschools through high school as I hope he will I will total only 27 years -- unless God gives us a new blessing.

Not that long. Only 9 years now, but I still share Marianne's sentiment.

I didn't even know such a thing as homeschooling existed before I was married! Of course, I never thought I'd get married, either ...

Didn't exactly know what to put down and cannot remember whether I said 12 - 14 or 15 + since we planned to homeschool from the start but our state doesn't officially require anything until the child turns 7 in the school year. Our oldest, who never set foot in a brick school until college is a college Junior. However, we just unschooled and had fun until the state required reporting and I didn't know if that "counted"  . If that counted, then we've been homeschooling for 17 years. If you count from the age of 7, then it is 14. I too will be doing this for some time to come!!!
