multiple student home schooling

[Unregistered]

Hi. We have a friend who, years ago, had their daughter home schooled by somebody that home schooled 3-4 kids at her house. Wondering how prevalent that is? If it is, how to go about finding these types of situations? We would like to explore something like that for our daughter (if it exists).

Hi there. I think this is something you will have to search a local homeschooling group for. I have homeschooled children besides my own in the past, but it was always a friend or neighbor. There were a lot of pros and cons when attempting something like this. It may also depend on your state's laws. I really can't say how much it happens, but it does happen. You might also look up information on co-ops in your town. Sometimes co-ops will have parents teaching various subjects to a group of students.
