Hello. I received this from Homeschool.com in my e-mail and while I don't fit any of the criteria that he is looking for, I thought I would share it with everyone here in case someone else fits it and are interested. Here is the original e-mail:
I just received this email from a nice reporter who is looking for:

* people in their 20s who were homeschooled as children
* people in their 20s who homeschool their children
* people in their 20s who went to college who are homeschooling
* people who were homeschooled who are now homeschooling their
children.

Please go ahead and repond directly to the reporter. His name is Neil
Bartlett and his email address is: neilbartlett@mhtc.net

More information about him and his article is below.

Hi, Rebecca. My name's Neil Bartlett.

I'm a freelance journalist and also have been HSing our two boys, with
my wife, for about 12 years now.

I'm interested in interviewing some HSers who are in their early or mid
20's, perhaps who've
graduated from college, for an article on the 'next generation of
homeschoolers.' Some of
my questions are:

-- What about these kids' lives is different from regularly schooled
kids?

-- What aspects are the same?

-- Do they perceive their HSing experience as having been a positive or
negative one? In
what ways?

-- Are there any trends that you're aware of with these folks? For
example, a lot of
them have started their own businesses, are going into politics, etc?

-- What does a graduate think of the common criticisms of
homeschooling?

-- Are they planning to HS their kids? Are there any who've actually
started doing so?


I know that each HSer is different...but do you have any thoughts,
observations and/or
suggestions for me? Other folks I should contact?


if you have time to respond via email, I'd be in your debt.

Thank you. Best wishes

Sincerely,

Neil
