Is it possible to homeschool for free or inexpensively? Yes, it is. I remember lamenting that I was so low I didn’t have enough money to send my kids to school. At the time, I felt like I had failed entirely. Then, I realized what a blessing to know I had no way to go but up and that I could not send my kids to school. I did not have a car nor money to buy clothes, shoes, and materials just to go to school. I was forced to see the true cost of homeschooling. The cost is very little and the rewards are too big to measure.
