My student is a teenager. How successful is homeschooling teenagers?
More and more teenagers are leaving traditional school and becoming homeschoolers. There are also increasing numbers of teenagers who have homeschooled their entire lives. They are able to study subjects in more depth, take advantage of learning through internships, and to work and travel in ways not available to students in traditional learning situations. Teens enjoy the independence of homeschooling that gives them time to discover what they really love to do. Teenage rebellion is rare in a system when the teen has choices. A good book to read is “The Teenage Liberation Handbook” by Grace Llewellyn.
