Episode 56: Nicole McGhee discusses Homeschooling in the Military

Homeschooling in the MilitaryHere in the United States, citizens are free to worship the Lord. They are free to express themselves and free to homeschool our children. America is a free society and this is due in no small part to the major sacrifices of the men and women in the armed services. But along with the sacrifice of military member themselves, is the sacrifice of their families.  Families must move around a lot, deal with extended periods away from the military member during deployments, not seeing their own extended families as much and so much more.   So it is good to see that the military is given the opportunity to enjoy the privileges of the rest of us including the opportunity to homeschool their own children.  Today our guest is Nicole McGhee, a military spouse and homeschooling mother of three boys. She is going to talk to us about homeschooling in the military whether home or abroad.Nicole McGhee married her high school sweetheart nearly 11 years ago and became an Army wife just a short time later.  Together, they have three sons in grades five, first, and preschool.  They have been homeschooling from the start.  Having moved and homeschooled in three different states, Nicole uses her blog to encourage military families to choose homeschooling for their families.  She also moderates various social media outlets to connect with other military homeschooling families.  When not busy schooling, blogging, or chasing after three very busy boys, Nicole is an active volunteer in the community.    You can also follow along with her homeschool journey on her blog, Home With My SonsPlease share your comments for Nicole in the comments section below.  Listen to Nicole as she talks about:Why Homeschooling is increasing in the military.How the military is generally supportive of homeschoolingResources available for military homeschoolingWhat a military family needs to do to get started in homeschooling.Following the state laws for where you are living at the time.Requirements that military homeschoolers oversees need to followHow military families can continue to homeschool during the deployment or long absence of the military member.The close knit group of military familiesWhat a family can do when there are no resources available at a new duty station.The advantages of moving to a new duty station when it comes to exploring a new state.How military fathers can get involved in homeschooling.What her boys think of living on a military base.The Military Homeschool group that she moderates on Google+.Her blog HomewithMySons.comConnect with Nicole...Website: Home With My SonsFacebook: Home With My SonsFacebook: Homeschoolers in the MilitaryTwitter: @HomeWithMySonsGoogle+: Nicole McGheeGoogle+: Military HomeschoolersPinterest: Home With My SonsLinkedIn: Nicole McGheeNicole is an official  designated conference blogger for the North Carolinians for Home Education Annual Conference.Nicole is a Marketing Representative at Time4Learning.comThis page contains affiliate links.
