Military homeschooling families can face extra challenges in their educational journey, but homeschooling can also offer you the flexibility to thrive through moves, deployments, and the demands of military life. This week on the program, three veteran homeschooling military parents offer insights into how they’ve made homeschooling work in their families. Program Listing:
Guests: Paul Douglas Chaplain Paul Douglas is 46 years old and has been married to his wife, Christine, for 19 years. They have two children, Victoria (14) and Ian (12), who have both been lifelong homeschoolers. Chaplain Douglas has been in the Army National Guard and the Army Reserves for 29 years, both as enlisted and, for the last seven years, as a chaplain. He serves as a bi-vocational pastor and currently works at the National Guard Bureau in the education division. Crystal Rants In addition to homeschooling their four children, Crystal teaches a writing class in a homeschool co-op, works in the preschool ministry for their local church, and has organized the prayer group there as well. She collects pottery, because it is heavy and easily breakable. Their family will be moving again in 2011, but no one knows where.
Catherine Barber Catherine Barber is currently homeschooling her third and youngest son through first grade. Catherine earned her BA degree in Education from Mercer University.
