Hello,
I am new to the forum and a newly licensed teacher who has partnered up with a graduate student to research the rapidly increasing trend of homeschooling.
I have been reading through several of the forums and have been able to gather a lot of wonderful information; however, we are still trying to dig deeper.
We have created a survey (the link is below) if any homeschooling parents are interested in helping us out! There are only 10 questions and they can be answered in a short amount of time. If you have a few moments, we would greatly appreciate your feedback!
I hope to talk with you in the forums as it seems some of you are quite involved!
Thanks again for your time

I'm new here, but not to homeschooling
I did the survey and it was very interesting. I liked seeing your reasons for posting the survey.
Though I excelled in the reading/writing area of Spanish in school, I cannot speak more than pitiful Spanish here in my Hispanic community. One of my daughters learned well, but won't speak it. So now that I am again homeschooling with my 9 year old, I enrolled her in our local library's Rosetta Stone because I had heard it is an immersion-type program and she and I were both learning well in the program. Our library lost the opportunity to continue the program, which is sad. I am beginning to believe that like half of the people in the world seem to be poor spellers, half of the people have no foreign language 'genes'. I know that may not be true, but I can't remember a lick of what I learned on Rosetta now. If we had a live-in Spanish housekeeper or I worked in an business with predominately Hispanic customers, I might pick up more Spanish.
Oh, well, I'm just grousing because I would truly love to absorb languages like a friend of mine does without even trying.
