Role of a Homeschool Dad Survey:
The purpose of this survey is to collect information from homeschooling parents pertaining to the role of a homeschool father where the mom is the primary teacher. The information will be used to help guide a talk at this year's Minnesota Catholic Home Education Conference.
Some questions will be for both parents to answer and some will be only for the mom or dad. If only the mom or dad is available to complete the form, that is fine. I am just looking for data from the world of homeschoolers.
Please pass along this link to others who you feel would have valuable input, as the survey will be open from February 15 to March 1, 2013. Thank you for taking a few moments to share your experiences.
