About the Authors

After years of education and training to become a physician, Dr. Myiesha Taylor considers herself a “professional student.” Identifying lapses in her children’s education, she took it upon herself to search for alternatives. Successfully homeschooling two children through high-school and into college at age 13, and a younger one she’s homeschooled since kindergarten, she has many valuable pearls of wisdom that would benefit any parent looking for additional educational options.  Myiesha is a graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and USC Keck School of Medicine.

At 16 years-old, Haley Taylor Schlitz is a senior at Texas Woman’s University. Homeschooling has allowed her to advance through high-school at her own pace, graduating at age 13, ready for college. Haley has excelled as an honors student and is on course to graduate in May 2019 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies.  Haley has been accepted to many law schools including SMU Dedman School of Law and Howard University School of Law.  Haley is pursuing a career as an attorney where she hopes to advocate for greater access to gifted and talented programs for students of color and girls.

About

Traditional schooling systems are proving to be suboptimal learning environments for many students of color. Black parents bear witness to the myriad of problems their children face at school and are becoming increasingly frustrated with the inability to implement positive and constructive change. Many understand the immense value an education provides and understand its empowering effects in the lives of their children. However, as traditional systems of education fail their children, they feel they have no alternative options.

As a Black mother, Myiesha experienced this first-hand. As she noticed her daughter, Haley, lose her passion for learning in public school, she made the bold decision to simply pull her out and homeschool her. Homeschooling
