I thought I’d share this list of famous homeschoolers throughout history. Whether you homeschool or not, I think you’ll get a kick out of some of the names. The list is by no means complete, so feel free to shout out others you might know about. PRESIDENTS James Madison George Washington Woodrow Wilson Andrew Jackson James Garfield ARTISTS Leonardo da Vinci Andrew Wyeth Claude Monet Grandma Moses INVENTORS Alexander Graham Bell Thomas Edison Eli Whitney Wright Brothers MILITARY LEADERS George Patton Douglas MacArthur Robert E. Lee Stonewall Jackson WRITERS Agatha Christie (pictured above) Samuel Clemens Charles Dickens Robert Frost C.S. Lewis Beatrix Potter ENTERTAINERS Louis Armstrong The Jonas Brothers Frankie Muniz Whoopi Goldberg Hanson Charlie Chaplin Jennifer Love Hewitt OTHER HISTORICAL FIGURES Benjamin Franklin Ansel Adams Margaret Mead Albert Schweitzer Frank Lloyd Wright Sandra Day O’Connor Winston Churchill George Washington Carver Albert Einstein Booker T. Washington Joan of Arc Brigham Young Pierre du Pont As I look over this list, I can’t help but feel a kinship with all of the parents of these people. I’ll bet when they saw that annoying Staples commercial come on the TV every fall—the one where the dad is so excited his kids are starting school that he’s dancing down the aisles and singing “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” as he’s buying their school supplies—these parents bitterly muttered “Shut up” and changed the channel, too. I do it every year. But that little twinge of jealousy is normal. Right? My comment: These people missed out on a LOT - bullying - keep God out! being taught lies and not Truth etc.
