Home School

LiveLifeToTheFullest asked:


My daughter is 15 years old, and I am very unhappy with her public school education, and do not feel like she is learning much. I have never considered homeschooling before, but both her and I like the idea. What are the requirements to homeschool a child? How can I make sure that she learns advanced skills, without knowing the information myself? How do I begin being a home school mom/teacher? Anyone with ANY information, please help! It is really important that we find out soon, since school starts in a month or so! Please help!!

I have many friends who home school or educate their children in privately. I also have several friends who no longer teach because of the violence, immorality, lack of parental involvement and overall dysfunction in public schools. They also bemoan the secular, politically correct agenda. I was educated in public schools, but not the same schools that exist today. If I had children; I would home school or send them to a private school. What is your opinion?

Discombobulated asked:


Does home school have the same curriculum as the public schools? Isn’t it easier, otherwise how does someone finish high school at 16?

T P asked:


If one child is significantly ahead of his grade level and does better in a home-school environment and is being home-schooled, do you think it would be strange to send the younger child to public school (which is also a great system)?
What’s unschooling?

I know they can be parent taught at night, but anyone know of any online schools/programs/tutors where their preteen/teen can be schooled while at home?

What curriculum do you most recommend for this age group?

Any single parent homeschool co-ops you know of (in the state of Georgia {Atlanta})?

My niece is 16 and home schooled, and ready to graduate. According to standardized tests that she took, she at post-high school levels all round. My question is, how would you reflect this on her transcript for college? I don’t think she completed all the credits and hours needed for official graduation, but she has tested out. What do we put on her transcripts?

I’m sure it varies from state to state…so what does one have to do to be qualified to home-school in California?
Oh please. Go away. What are you, the grammar police?

I am starting to home-school my six year old this year and want to make sure I am following the laws in Texas. I know “unschooling” is a form of homeschooling and there is not a law against it, but I need to know how to go about “unschooling” when according to TX laws, a written curriculum must be followed. How does one accomplish this?
