I homeschooled my kids in their high school years when we could no longer afford private school. Had to work too, but as a family we found ways to make it work. One son sadly passed away at age 23 in a tragic accident. Before he died he was doing well as a self taught computer technician. The other son is now 23 and is doing great as a videographer and welder in training. He is also a Patriot and active 2A advocate. His bookshelf includes old history books and the Bible. He can quote the US Constitution. I could not be prouder of him and also my son now in heaven. I am also in my 50s and thinking about doing some volunteer tutoring to help homeschool parents.
