Mike Smith:
This week on Home School Heartbeat, our guest is Liz Curry, a homeschooling mom of four children. Liz, we thank you for joining us.

Liz Curry:
Oh, thank you! Nice to be with you.

Mike:
Liz, could you share with our listeners a little bit about your homeschooling experience?

Liz:
Well, like you said, I’m a homeschool mom; I’ve been homeschooling approximately 11 years with four children: Bonnie, Brad, Kathy, and Tyrah. And I’ve homeschooled in different settings—I’ve homeschooled as a single mom, I’ve homeschooled as a married mom, I’ve homeschooled in the poorest of poor areas, and I’ve homeschooled in the suburbs. But in all of that, I worked the entire time I was homeschooling.

Mike:
Liz, what would your answer be to someone who said that because they’re a single parent, they just simply can’t homeschool?

Liz:
I would say that they can homeschool. Based on my experience and other single moms, it is possible to homeschool. I’m not saying that it’s easy, but it is possible.

Mike:
So you can do it!

Liz:
You can homeschool your children and you can work, but there’s a technique to it.

Mike:
Liz, thank you. We’ll be talking more next time about this subject. And until then, I’m Mike Smith.
