Hello,
I'm new to the list but I thought I'd share what I know. I live in New
Jersey a very homeschool friendly state. I home/unschool my 3 children and
my mother-in-law(she had my husband at 17- two of our kids are the same age-
odd...) homeschools her last three(of seven).
She is also homeschooling a 6 year old boy whose mom is a friend of hers.
She would probably say "Don't do it!". She has run into all kinds of
problems from him monopolizing all her time to his mother giving her wacky
curriculum that her son is no where near ready for. Not to mention the fact
that he puts a serious crimp in her families homeschool style and flow when
he is there (three days a week).
It's a big chore and should REALLY be thought about before undertaking.
We also have a great co-op down here. It meets only one day a week
in five week sessions. We have 25 families and need a large facility to meet
in. The kids are divided into groups from nursery on up to 7th-12th grade.
The moms volunteer class ideas and then teach them. We go from 9:30 to 11:45
then we all have lunch. Some of the 7th-12th classes have been frog
dissection,crime science and inventions. The kids have a great time, and the
parents have fun too.We just started this in September and it's went really
well.
Oh well just my two cents!
Kimberly

I know of someone who's done this, she does daycare and hs's
her own. Someone asked her to hs his older children, at one point they had
a problem with the expectations of both children and parent and daycarer, but I
think it's resolved. I would do it, as long as the parents were aware that
their child would be unschooling too :-)

Just a quick question-- Has anyone been asked to homeschool other people's
children? I have been asked, and I declined. I tried to explain how what I
"do" is not duplicating what is found in school, and how it is more of a
lifestyle for our family. Anyway, I have my hands full with my own right
now! But, I was just wondering if this has happened to others, and how you
handled it.
