Home school works well for Liechtys
By Nick Schneider, STAFF WRITER

Making the decision to home school her son was an easy one for Connie Liechty of Linton, but she admits home schooling is not for every student and not for every family.

However, Josh Liechty and his mother, who formerly taught elementary school for 8 1/2 years in northern Indiana, agree in their case it was a perfect fit.

"It was right for us. It is a commitment," she stated. "You have to make choices. I didn't work outside of the home so financially we chose a little bit harder way to go than someone else maybe."

Connie Liechty said teaching her son has not really been a challenge because he has been a self-starter who loves to read and study new things on his own.
