I was a teacher for 15 years and an education entrepreneur for five. Through a series of interesting and surprising events, six years ago I stumbled upon an emerging type of homeschooling, primarily led by teacher-parents, techies, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses, artists, writers who chose to homeschool because they were intrigued by the possibility of designing their child’s education, playing a greater role in their child’s learning and exploring new modalities of education outside of traditional school.
