About Homeschool360
Hi, I’m Dechanda, most folks call me Dee.
I’m not a homeschool teacher. I’m a grandmother in Birmingham, Alabama, and homeschool360 is built from what I’ve lived and what I’ve watched.
Years ago, I homeschooled my youngest son for his 10th grade year. He’s 28 now. At the time, it was one of the hardest things I’d taken on not because of him, but because the information was scattered everywhere. What was I required to teach? What regulations did I have to comply with? How many hours per day, how many hours per week? Did I need to keep records, and if so, what kind? I had to search across a dozen different places to piece together answers, and even then I was never sure I had it right. The process was a hassle, and it was expensive every guide that looked useful cost money I didn’t always have.
My oldest son and his wife homeschool their three children my grandbabies. She trained as a teacher; she graduated from Troy State University. Watching her teach her own kids has brought me right back to my own experience years ago, except this time I can see clearly what would have helped me back then.
And it’s not just my family. So many people I know are homeschooling now for all kinds of reasons. Some pulled their kids out of public school because it wasn’t working. Some have careers that move them around the country. Some just want their children’s education in their own hands. Every one of them has run into the same wall I did: too much information in too many places, and most of the useful parts hidden behind a paywall.
That’s why I built homeschool360.
Homeschool360 is the one place I wished I’d had a starting point for parents who are figuring this out for the first time, and a resource for parents who are already in it but tired of paying for every download. You don’t have to be a credentialed teacher to teach your child well. You just need a place that tells you the truth and gives you tools that actually work.
What you’ll find here:
State-by-state homeschool law and compliance information, all in one place
Free printables, templates, and record-keeping tools you can use without giving up your email
Honest writing from someone who’s been on both sides the parent who did it, and the grandmother watching it happen now
I’m not selling you a course. I’m not running a membership. The site has some ads on it that’s how I keep the lights on so the resources stay free for you. If you find one thing here that saves you a hard week, we’re even.
