Darnelle

Darnelle has been teaching for 23 years in various situations – public, private, parochial, special schools and home school. She has taught in elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, but found her favorite place in homeschooling her own 5 children. They range in age from 8 to 18, from third grade to college sophomore and have been home schooled from preschool.

Darnelle says it took her a couple of years to unlearn classroom methods and “relax”. Fifteen years later, she and her husband of 21 years, Danny, are even more convinced that homeschooling was one of their best decisions.

Her special education background allows her to help struggling students and their parents isolate and correct the underlying, often hidden, situations that can cause academic problems. She loves the fact that when these problems are corrected, students can begin to excel and grow and learn at a rate that allows them feel good about themselves again – the way God intended.

Like every seasoned homeschooling mom, she is eager to help those just beginning the journey in any way she can.
