I just read an article about a homeschool "teacher" who defrauded a family by taking money and never teaching. He is currently in jail under other charges.
Parents beware. To hire a teacher to run your homeschool program is pointless and not what homeschooling is about. In the past year I have seen numerous people proposition myself and other homeschooling parents to "homeschool" thier kids as well. THIS IS NOT HOMESCHOOLING PEOPLE! This is private school. Most homeschoolers do not want to turn thier homeschooling experience into private school for everyone else... and if someone solicits you to homeschool your child.. beware and be aware.
This families situation could have been so much worse. Did the father check this man for references? He could have been someone looking to victimize troubled kids, he could have even killed her. Fortunately for the family, he was just a con man.
