Jube Dankworth Bio

Jube Dankworth lives in Houston with her husband of 33 years, Jim.  They have four children, 30, 26, 19 and 17.  She has been involved with computers since 1975 and has been home educating for 18 years.  Jube is the List Mom for Texas Home Educators list and for the Greater Houston Area Home Educators list.  She is also the host of the weekly national homeschool radio show "The Homeschooler Next Door" found on the iTunes.

She knew she would home school her children upon reading The Diary of Anne Frank during her high school years.  She noticed the children in the book were in separate schools and finally homeschooled when the culture had turned against the Jews.  Once the opportunity availed itself 19 years later, she pulled her children from public schools and has been homeschooling ever since.

Jennifer, the oldest daughter was homeschooled after 6^th grade.   She obtained scholarships offers from various colleges, and graduated Summa cum Laude from Oral Robert University, ranking 4^th in her college.  She is married to a homeschooled Engineer. They are  homeschooling their children.  Jessica was the Cadets Commander of her Civil Air Patrol, was listed in the Who’s Who of High School Students two years in a row, and was on the Dean’s list.  She is presently manager of a Tuxedo Junction store.  Joy was an officer in her 4H club for several years, is active in the WHHE Teen group, and is active with Debate and Speech Club.  JJ is active in Debate and Speech Club and the Boy Scouts and is working towards his Eagle.  The younger two are still being actively educated at home.

Jube has attended Oral Roberts University, working on her degree in Christian Counseling.  She hopes to finish her degree once the children are graduated from homeschool.  Since coming home to homeschool, Jube has been an active volunteer in homeschool organizations as well in community organizations.  Here is a listing of them.
