High school sweethearts Monalisa and Kit Harding, both 53, have made a name for themselves as home schooling experts after getting their 10 children through high school and university all before 18. Their oldest Hannah, now 34, became a child prodigy in maths when she got her bachelor’s degree from Auburn University, in Montgomery, at the age of 17. Monalisa and Kit also raised the youngest-ever lawyer – their sixth child Seth Harding, now 20, who qualified through university and professional exams at just 19. More The family from San Jose in California have recently celebrated their youngest, 11-year-old Thunder, passing his entrance exams for university. When he starts he will join his older sister Lorennah, 13, who is in her second year at Bellevue University. Reaching these impressive milestones so early has become commonplace in the Harding family – as every single one of the children has started university by the time they turn 13. Monalisa said she and her husband had to make sacrifices to home school their kids so well (Picture: SWNS)Seth earned his law qualifications at 19 – becoming the youngest lawyer ever (Picture: SWNS) The Harding kids have all gone on to become doctors, architects and even spacecraft designers. But Monalisa insists her kids are not ‘geniuses’, crediting the effectiveness of home schooling and her children’s hard work for their success. The mum said: ‘The nature of home schooling is so efficient – anyone can do it. ‘It’s just about parents dedicating the time to get it done and prioritising their children’s education above all else. ‘We’re not a wealthy family. We had to make sacrifices so that I had the time to teach each of them individually. ‘When you raise kids in an environment where home schooling and hard work is the norm, then, as they grow, they’ll naturally adapt to it and take it in their stride. Lorennah is in her second year of studying at Bellevue University at the age of 13 (Picture: SWNS) Thunder James is about to start his first year of university at the age of 11 (Picture: SWNS) ‘They all worked and continue to work extremely hard, which is why they’re breaking new ground every day – I couldn’t be more proud of them.’ Monalisa and Kit, a military man who now works in government, also help other parents who want to start home schooling their own children. They have spoken at several conferences all over the US and have travelled as far as Japan to share their experience. ‘It’s really fulfilling because we put our hearts and souls into our children, and knowing people admire that and want to do the same is a really great feeling,’ Monalisa said.

爱玛，我觉得可能就是这一家。 Kit is nickname of Kitchener。要不是这么多娃，一般家里也不会弄14个bedroom。 他家老大上Auburn，还有个孩子在Alabama做律师，可能以前就是住在Alabama的，后来搬了加州。

学费是考虑吧，十个孩子的学费，都是大藤，你算过是多少钱吗？
我朋友就是homeschooling，她也上华人，目前孩子教育的那是相当牛的。
你说错了，恰恰相反，homeschooling 最大的好处是孩子们可以跟着父母全世界旅行，小孩子的阅历比一般小孩好多了。当然楼主这个10个小孩的，是另外的故事。
这两口子好像已经开培训班了，教大家怎么homeschool。
娃成功以后他们的生意也上来了。
小孩子瞎玩不等于非要全世界旅行。没玩过sandbox或没玩过泥巴的小孩，很难说拥有过正常的童年。再说，我不信homeschool的孩子比regular school的孩子在概率上旅行更多。
小孩不就是应该和小孩玩吗？要什么阅历，人世间冷暖以后有的是时间体会。
好处......楼上提到了，父母可以开培训班传授经验了，嗯，也是个business 了
同意这个。 小孩子就是要好好玩，enjoy童年的乐趣，着急走入成人社会做啥。
能点晚上学千万别早上，特别是男孩子。
10个兄弟姐妹还不够吗？ 而且，home schooling和social 又不矛盾，人家play date 图书馆活动都会有的，否则妈妈不累死啊？
人家20岁时，已经是执照律师了。。。。。。你还要什么溢出？
说到和同龄人玩的，homeschool 的孩子们活动反而更多。我有朋友的孩子homeschool. 数学什么的都跳级，孩子们自理能力，课外活动都比普通小孩貌似厉害些。
他山之石 可以攻玉。
一个家庭里思维和生活习惯都是差不多的。 没有跟不同想法不同家庭背景的人交流，会是个缺陷。
想知道是中国人吗？爸爸是美国人吗？两口子都是一代移民homeschool小孩很难吧？
re 童年纯玩的时候多美好啊，美国这地方又不倦，大学可以随时读啊， 13岁读大学加快进度急哄哄赶着去投胎么，正常大学生谈恋爱 和同龄人hangout party全都感受不到，惨！
都是中国人啊，都是国内大学毕业留学来的。
别说，执照律师是很牛，不过的确不是梅花羡慕的。
那个圈子考的进去也混不开。而且能挣到钱的是绝对少数。
啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈😂
唉，带着个minor真的很麻烦。还有成年之前就找工作，会受很多未成年人限制的。公司得当大佛一样供着，加班啥的绝对不可能，还很可能要缩短时长。
州大不香吗？去这种烂大学有什么意思呢
真的不用羡慕。 养到第四个基本靠哥哥姐姐带了。 你觉得为啥要homeschool呢？就是方便大的带小的。 要是大的上学去了，她三头六臂也养不了那么多。 我家以前babysitter家里11个娃排行老三，没人上学，几个大娃都是带娃好手，我娃一边爬她一边就把尿布给换好了
十个孩子真要能上藤校都会有奖学金的，根本不用自己掏钱，经济条件不是问题
Home school不需要自己教，有很好的教材和老师答疑。不需要等其他孩子，很容易培养出“天才”。
父母需要考虑的是人格培养和交际这块,要去组织活动。我亲身只见过一个例子，四个孩子的，都教的很好。其实我觉得华人父母要是一方赚钱多点的真该考虑初中以前都home school.
感觉美国的教育，如果父母有耐心在家教，会比去学校好很多。
同意，自己教有时候效果更好。
我一个同事生了5个也都home schooled. 都长大了还不错。同事本身是caltech的牛人。
这个，10个孩子homeschooling，父母都不上班吗？家里生活靠什么？如果一个人上班供12个人，得是什么高收入工作？那所有家务和教育孩子都另一个人承担？ 这些都抛开，不是每家的孩子都能配合父母的教育的。不然为什么古人要说异子而教？这家能这么做只能说明他们家孩子都很听话很自觉，接受这种方式的教育，别家不见得能复制。 最后，把中学年龄的孩子送入大学，还是普通大学，如果不是真的天才，意义何在？感觉这家孩子都不是过得正常生活。当然天才另说。
是的我家小孩就是这样的。时间很好安排。

上大学需要有独立生活能力，以前看过报道所谓的"神童"，带着妈妈一起上大学，觉得有点可笑，明明就不ready......
什么是乱七八糟的课程? 进入大学之后，也不是只学专业课，一般都是学很多基础课和选修课啊，估计都是你口中"乱七八糟"的课程。
哈哈，这个角度没毛病，觉得还很有画面感😂
反正我家是双职工，没这条件。也没想孩子过早上大学。在美国，正式工作要16岁以上。
孩子们没有同龄朋友同学，早早地从一个烂校毕业，就为早点出来工作？

You can you up
爱玛，我觉得可能就是这一家。 Kit is nickname of Kitchener。要不是这么多娃，一般家里也不会弄14个bedroom。
他家老大上Auburn，还有个孩子在Alabama做律师，可能以前就是住在Alabama的，后来搬了加州。
华人家庭，基本都是半个homeschool，去学校主要是为了social罢了。。
有父母牛的。我前同事，阿富汗一代移民，自己是统计PHD，2子1女，分别是哈佛耶鲁斯坦福的本科，都是好专业，让我非常佩服。离开前单位最大的遗憾就是不能常和她聊天了。
