Home School

pdooma asked:


I don’t understand why there’s some anger toward parents who choose to home school their children. The tax dollars are still there. If you don’t want to home school no one is saying you have to… Can someone clarify this for me, please?

Gina asked:


I am 14 and I have gone to both public and private school and neither has worked with my schedule. Now I am checking out home schooling and it seems really interesting. I checked out a few online high schools like the Laurel Springs School but I just want to see what people think about it. Also if you can tell me any more online schools to check out that would be great. Thanks!

Jess Nelson asked:


Hi! I am doing an assignment on home education and would love to hear about your transition from the home schooling environment to a high school environment. In particular, how did your new teachers help you to feel welcome? Thanks!

Brittany Robson asked:


So my daughter is going to be a freshman in high school next year. We live in a town, with a bad high school. So I want to home-school her for her first year, until she can drive to a better school. So how much money will it cost to home-school her?

cupcake asked:


I am sick of being in this depressing environment. How can I convince my mom to enroll me in school? I am super grateful she used to sacrifice her time for me, but now she has a job and I am teaching myself with this stupid program which is full of information I already know. I have problems motivating myself to do my work. I lack the incentive to succeed, since my competitive nature isn’t being stimulated. She won’t enroll me in any sports and its a rare occasion I leave home without my equally as depressing parents.

My daughter is in 8th grade and will be going to high school soon. She sees the world as an adult but that means she also sees the negatives. This is making school hard for her and she is in what her school calls the talented and gifted program. She is very intelligent but i am afraid of the fact that she can not with stand the peer pressure of high school next year. So I need advice on home to home school her then.
I am not sheltering her.
Also i live in massachusetts if that helps.

JacquiF asked:


I’ve home schooled my son for the last 4 years and we have decided to put him back in public school for his last 2 years of high school. What do I need to give the high school to enroll him? The school is in KS.

Kristen asked:


I am a certified teacher who is currently home schooling my children. I know this is not giving me actual classroom experience, but I am getting experience teaching 4th and 6th grade curriculum. I am also continuously doing my own professional development online. In my state, if you home school your children, you are legally considered an employee of the home school program you go through (Home Life Academy, Gateway, etc). I’m trying to figure out how to put this on my resume. Any advice?

Ttristian Gordon asked:


I need to write a Compare/Contrast Paragraph on the similarities and differences between my home school and a public school. I attended a public school until grade 9, and I honestly don’t think you are really missing anything when attending home school. So this is quite hard for me.

Your impute is much appreciated.

Elizabeth Whatdoyoucare asked:


I’m 5th grade and I want to be home schooled. I want to be home schooled because I’m already doing high school work, so I get bored in school and I want to graduate early, probably when I’m 13. Anyway, I’ve done a ton of research, made a power point, and made a portfolio about home school. I’ve never asked my parents, so how can I sure them my research, I don’t want to talk unless they bring it up.
