Comments on: Home-schoolers’ school http://joannejacobs.com/2004/12/01/home-schoolers-school/ Free-linking and thinking on education by Joanne Jacobs Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:50:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Suzi http://joannejacobs.com/2004/12/01/home-schoolers-school/#comment-20324 Suzi Thu, 02 Dec 2004 00:09:46 +0000 http://joannejacobsblog.com/2004/12/01/home-schoolers-school/#comment-20324 The idea of a few days a week offerings for home schoolers is becoming more common. There are at least two such schools, offering middle and high school classes, in Houston. And one for all grades in Austin. As an English teacher who never did understand geometry, I have taken advantage of the offering and my son goes to school MW for three hours for a geometry class.

Yuppie parents made up a substantial percentage of home-schoolers a couple of years ago. Of course they're not quite so amenable to demonization as the religion-based home-schoolers.
