About Mae Kowalke
Expertise
I can answer pretty much any question about homeschooling, particularly in relation to the unschooling method. I am happy to answer questions from parents who are homeschooling their children or kids/teens who are being educated at home. I can also offer perspective on life after homeschooling, and what it`s like to be a grown homechooler in college and the workplace.

Experience
I am a grown homeschooler. My three younger sisters and I were educated at home from K-12. We were unschoolers, so my experience lies primarily in that area of homeschooling.

Home Schooling - Homeschooling by grandparents.

Question
In Florida, can a grandparent home school their grandchild, or must it be the child's parent?

Answer
Hi, Robert. I’m actually not familiar with homeschooling regulations in Florida, so I’m going to suggest that you check with a local homeschool support group. The folks who belong to these groups will know about legalities in your state, and should be able to offer some guidance about the best way to get started. Here are three places you can look for groups:

Best of luck on your journey.
