I really enjoyed reading this! We weren't accidental homeschoolers...planned on it from the time my first son was very young. But I can relate to some of these things! Thanks for sharing!

And I do think it sets us apart from other homeschoolers. Our only option in our town is the public school. If there were a Christian school here, my children would be enrolled. The priority for our family is a Christian education so we're providing that the only way we know how right now. I struggle MANY days with feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and lacking vision that others in the homeschooling community have. I know this is partly because I am one of four families in our town who have chosen this path to educating our children. There are no co-ops, support groups, or field trips for us so it can be very isolating. We are accidental homeschoolers. And I do think it sets us apart from other homeschoolers.

We were going to do it until circumstances changed. :) Our first homeschool grad is now a senior in college and we'll be graduating another this year. I run a statewide discussion list, and the vast majority of our new members coming in are pulling their children out of school. We were accidental homeschoolers 13 years ago.

I had never thought of home-schooling until my daughter had difficulties adjusting to school. Fortunately things improved, but home-schooling was an option I looked at and dreaded having to face. Maybe it wouldn't have been so awful after all. That’s a really interesting article.
