Grown Homeschoolers and Unschoolers talk about their lives
Grown Homeschooler's Panel Part One
Susannah Sheffer, editor of Growing Without Schooling magazine, moderates a panel of three grown homeschoolers (Tad Heuer, Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, and Mae Shell) at the 20th Anniversary conference for GWS in 1997 (in six parts). These young adults respond to questions from Susannah about what it was like to be a homeschooler growing up, how they were socialized and interacted with their peers, how they decided to attend college or not, how they gained admission to college or found work, what they are doing now as adults, and they bring up even more interesting topics during their answers.
One of the most moving, spontaneous moments of our 20th anniversary conference occured at the very end of this panel, and, unfortunately, the video camera was off. What happened was all the panelists' parents were asked to stand, causing the panelists and audience to applaud; it was quite a moving finale.
