Poll time! How many children do you hs?

[siloam]

Just because I can.

[Amy in Orlando]

Four boys - 9th grade, two in 8th grade and one in 2nd grade.

[Miss Peregrine]

DD 11 DS 9 DD 7 and DD5(though we don't do anything for K)

[angela in ohio]

11 yo dd, 9 yo dd, and 5 yo ds :)

[Tonia]

1 dd here.

[DollyM]

DD is a high school senior.
DS is a freshman.

I've responded "two" to polls like this for 13 years - but soon I'll have to say, "only one." sniff.

[Quiver0f10]

I am schooling 8 this year- grades 12, 11, 9, 7, 6, 4, 2 and pre-K

[Pster]

3 dd's - 1 in 2nd, 1 k'er, and 1 pre-k tag-along

[Janet in WA]

Just because I can.I chose 2, even though they've both graduated and are in college now.

[Jenn in Mo]

I chose 2. I teach the boys formally, but I have 2 girls that I go through preschool stuff with as well. I didn't count them since it's not a whole lot.

[Karen in CO]

A 12th grader and a 1st grader and a 3yo tag-a-long

[Crissy]

Two boys here. One 13yo, and one 9yo.

[Crissy]

Wow! I am surprised at the number of "2 kid" homeschoolers! I guess the bigger families haven't answered yet?

[~Rachel~]

2. Well sort of. 8 year old DS and 3 (almost 4) year old DD. Who 'tries' to 'do school' :) We have some more Montessori style stuff for her ;)

[Stirsmommy]

Starting this semester I only have the two. My oldest started going to the cc full time this semester. I miss him and my car MWF. But really I miss him helping with dd 12's algebra. So for now I teach dd 12 and ds 7.

[Colleen in NS]

Two here. DSalmost 10 and dd7.

[Angela in TN]

1 ds who is 8, I didn't count my 4yo even though I have stuff for him to do when he chooses to participate. :)

[CAROLinON]

My daughter is grade 5, son is grade 3. My older two are graduated home schoolers, one in 1st yr. university, one working until university.

[Kim in TN]

We're homeschooling 3 here. We have a 7ds, 12ds, and 15dd.

[Nancy in SoCal]

Currently schooling 4 here:

ds (5th), dd (4th), dd (2nd), ds (PreK)

[momtolgd]

I'm homeschooling 2, DS is 7 and doing mostly 2nd grade work, and DD is 5 doing K work. I'm also chasing a now mobile 1yo DS!

[Johanna]

Well, i chose 4 even though i "officially just do 2" but, my 2.5yo and 5 y.o. are right there at the table with us. And sometimes they are harder than my 6 and 8 yo. LOL:rolleyes:

[Stephanie in FL]

I homeschooled my oldest through 10th grade. Last year was his first year in a traditional school enviroment and he is due to graduate this May.

I currently am teaching my two fifth graders at home, plus my 2 1/2 year old has just been begging to start 'doing school' too.

[karensk]

2 here, too...5th & 3rd graders.

[Jann in TX]

My oldest dd is 17 and has been homeschooled for the past 9 years.
My middle dd was homeschooled for grades 1-5 and is currently a 9th grader at our local public school.
My youngest dd is 5 and is currently in Kindergarden in our local public school.

[StacyWithFourRugrats]

Two here officially. That being said, I also have a 4 and 5 year old who mainly just play, color and practice their letters. Next year it will be four, ahhh!!!!:eek:

[tess in the burbs]

I have two close in age here, only 20 months apart and in ps they would have been back to back grades. So while things are separate now, in another 2 years most subjects will be the same level :-) And then it will be so much easier (i hope!)

[Phyllis in Canada]

Three of my own, but I also teach 2-4 more on Fridays in something of an co-op/exchange.

[JFS in IL]

I started with one kidlet (a 3rd grader), added his first grade sister...then after two years of two, brought home another kid and started the younger, so one year had FOUR at home, then back to three, then two, then one...twice I ahve had NONE...now starting Tuesday I will have one again - just pulled the youngest outta fifth grade.

[Gigi]

I have four boys 1st, 3rd, 5th, & 7th but my 3rd grader is in public school this year for a "life experience" that he wanted. He will be coming home again next year.

[Serendipity]

I'm home schooling two daughters. One just turned five and the other is almost ten. :)

[Milseain]

I am schooling 3 - 1 in 6th, 1 in 2nd, and 1 k'er :)

[Lorna in the boonies]

3 -- 9th grade, 5th grade, and 1st grade!

[frogpond1]

and on Monday and Wednesday I add in 17 more just for the fun of it.

[Ellie]

I did hs my two dds, so that must count for something :-)

[gardenschooler]

Just two now (dds 13 & 9). Dd15 is off at ps this year for 10th, but might be coming home next year to do cc/combo hs.

[Sparkle]

I have a 7th grader, a 5th grader and a 2nd grader (and a preschooler).

[gardenschooler]

I think Ellie and Janie and Cat in Black - (am I missing anyone?) need special medals of honor. :)

BTW, has Cat in Black (Cathy in Blacksburg) registered here? I've been thinking about her, ever since she said she was sad about finishing homeschooling. I believe her youngest is doing all cc classes this year. I hope she can find her way over here.

[Cathy in IL]

I put 3, but that number changes. Because I am allowed to homeschool the children I do emergency care, there are times I homeschool up to 6 children. Today I had five. Three are my own children, so I know I will at least have them!

[Janet in Toronto]

I hs'd one of my two boys for 2 years but he is back in school now.

[Jackie in AR]

I am schooling 8 this year- grades 12, 11, 9, 7, 6, 4, 2 and pre-K

You are the woman!! :)

[Tammy in Germany]

One in 12th grade and one in 4th. :D How the years have flown by!:eek:

[Andie]

Wow! I am surprised at the number of "2 kid" homeschoolers! I guess the bigger families haven't answered yet?

Because we're TIRED. LOL

I only have three, officially, though Leo is teaching himself to read. Eh...um, I mean, *I* am teaching him to read, with the fabulously extensive, thorough, wonderful program I've devised and researched and tested. Yeah. That's it. :D

So, I guess I'm really homeschooling 3 1/2.

[Janie]

Ah, how come?

[Susan in IL]

I only homeschooled 1 but he is in college now. But am afterschooling another, so I answered 1.

[Just Me]

three kiddos - 7th grade boy, 6th grade girl, and 3rd grade boy!

[amanda]

I have a 3rd grade dd and 2 and 3 yo preschoolers.

[slug hollow]

I voted 2
dd is 5.5 has a set schedule & ds is 3.5 & participates as he wants to - which is probably more than half of our school time.

[Pamela H in Texas]

DD 15yo homeschooled all but 8 weeks ever
DS 12yo is doing a virtual academy now so school at home, not homeschooled, officially, I guess.

[Rebecca in GA]

Three: 11 yo son, 8 yo daughter and 6 yo son. In public school, they would be in 6th, 2nd and 1st grades.

[Heather in WI]

Two boys here.

[Jackie in AR]

4. Two 7th graders, one 5th grader, and one 1st grader.

[Brigitte]

Wow! I am surprised at the number of "2 kid" homeschoolers! I guess the bigger families haven't answered yet?

I guess they also have lots of littles and/or lots of olders?!

I hs two girls - 6 y.o. twins. But these days, I could say I hs three, since our cat has taken to sitting on the hs table while we do our lessons.

[Elisabeth in IL]

I homeschool 2 currently but the 3rd, almost 3, will begin in another year with preschool type stuff.

[ChristyB in AL]

16 yo ds
15 yo ds

:cool:

[Linda in TX]

I still homeschool 2, but I have graduated 2 that were homeschooled all the way through.

[Sharon H in IL]

Just my two boys, 8 and 11.

[Hen Jen]

we have a K, 2nd grade, 5th grade and 7th grader!

[Tina in WA]

4: 7th, 5th, 3rd, 1st ;)

[sleepy]

3 kids right now: dd13, dd11, ds9
2yo asks to "do school" sometimes

[Katia]

I am currently homeschooling my two teen girls:

15yo in 10th grade

18yo in 12th grade

My son is 23yo and has just finished all the 'required' classes to graduate college after his semester spent in Japan learning Japanese. So, hopefully he can apply for college graduation and we'll get that done in May. BUT, I "did" homeschool him from 4th grade through 12th grade. I just didn't count him on this poll.

SO, that means THREE graduations for our family in May: my dd from high school, my son from college (BA degree) and my husband (MA). Wow. Will be a busy May.:)

[Mary H]

I did home shcool 4 at one time.
Ds 11, ds9
ds18 grauated
ds24 grauated

Mary H

[Cadam]

I have 3 but the squeaker is not quite 2yo so I only actually hs the 2 big ones.

[PinkInTheBlue]

I'm homeschooling a 6th and 4th grader and chasing an 18mth old! :)

[Tina]

9th grade, 8th grade and 2nd grade

[Emily in FL]

Officially, I'm only homeschooling one. I have one 3-year old who thinks he needs to "do school" too though. I'm thinking I may have to come up with more for him next year even though I hadn't planned on doing anything formal with him until he was at least 5.

[Gwen in TX]

Just one, a ds, age 14, going on 30!

[Kristiana]

Three boys--7 yo in 1st grade, 4.5 yo doing FIAR, and 3yo who's always there with us.

[Rhonda in WA]

I have a 2nd grader and getting my 3yr to start some stuff. She currently listens in on all we do and get read aloud time already.

[Marie in Oh]

Next year we will add 1 more. :o

[Linda (Australia)]

Little girls and one boy!

Seven girls, One boy; aged 5 to 15

They're all 'school age' for the first time this year; so it's going to be a busy one.

:)

[Audrey]

Hsing my one and only for 5 years now! :D

[Jlynn]

Homeschooling an only son who will be 9 next month

[Mama2four]

I homeschool 4 (7th, 5th, 3rd & 1st)

[gardenschooler]

Ah, how come?

Why, because you're veterans, of course. The definitive definition. And you lived to tell the tale. And now I see there are even a few more that I wasn't aware of (like Happy, and a few others I can't remember right now).

I think it's a big deal to have come out on the other side, with your dc all graduated! :)

[Luanne]

nt :p

[JeanM]

I've got two boys - ages 8 and 6!

Jean

[nanette]

I thought I was one of the few with only 1!
