\"christie\"<\/h1>\n

1. Agatha Christie.\u00a0<\/strong>Agatha was a painfully shy girl, so her mom homeschooled her even though her two older siblings attended private school.<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n

2. Pearl S. Buck<\/strong>\u00a0was born in West Virginia, but her family moved to China when she was just three months old. She was homeschooled by a Confucian scholar and learned English as a second language from her mom.<\/p>\n

3. Alexander Graham Bell\u00a0<\/strong>was homeschooled by his mother until he was about 10. It was at this point that she started to go deaf and didn’t feel she could properly educate him any more. Her deafness inspired Bell to study acoustics and sound later in life.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>\u00a0If\u00a0Thomas Edison<\/strong>\u00a0was around today, he would probably be diagnosed with ADD “\u201c he left public school after only three months because his mind wouldn’t stop wandering.<\/p>\n

His mom homeschooled him after that, and he credited her with the success of his education: “My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint.”<\/p>\n

5. Ansel Adams<\/strong>\u00a0was homeschooled at the age of 12 after his “wild laughter and undisguised contempt for the inept ramblings of his teachers”\u009d disrupted the classroom. His father took on his education from that point forward.<\/p>\n

6. Robert Frost<\/strong>\u00a0hated school so much he would get physically ill at the thought of going. He was homeschooled until his high school years.<\/p>\n

\"Woody\"
\n7. Woodrow Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0studied under his dad, one of the founders of the Southern Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS). He didn’t learn to read until he was about 12. He took a few classes at a school in Augusta, Georgia, to supplement his father’s teachings, and ended up spending a year at Davidson College before transferring to Princeton.
\n8. Mozart\u00a0<\/strong>was educated by his dad as the Mozart family toured Europe from 1763-1766.<\/p>\n

9. Laura Ingalls Wilder<\/strong>\u00a0was homeschooled until her parents finally settled in De Smet in what was then Dakota Territory. She started teaching school herself when she was only 15 years old.
\n
\n10. Louisa May Alcott\u00a0<\/strong>studied mostly with her dad, but had a few lessons from family friends Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Can you imagine?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
