Home School

Lili asked:


I am writing a report about homeschooling and unschooling for my aunt, who we live with. She is against homeschooling very much, which is a problem because we live with her and we homeschool.
She practices phonics at night with my sister and said that she wants me to do something acedemic in the time that they are doing phonics. So I chose to write reports with a point of veiw, and this one is about homeschooling.
It has to be from my opinion, but show all potential sides of the argument (for or against homeschooling). I want to write reasons why homeschooling is the better option, why unschooling is even better, why public school is not the best choice, etc, etc, etc.
I am not asking for you to write the report. I want to know: What are some points you think I should make? What are some subjects I should bring up? Any statistics I should put in that help me make my point?
Serious, helpful answers only, please! Thanks for answering!!!

I am sorry for any misspellings!
I didn’t ask for opinions, topgalant. I asked for help expessing my opinion on the paper that I’m writing that is supposed to express MY OPINION.
Oh, and PLEASE don’t start with the socilization thing, topgalant.

Tj asked:


I want to do homeschooling for years 11 and 12 so that I can graduate from school quicker. But I need to know whether or not homeschooling for year 12 stops you from getting into universities. And I also want to know how quickly it will take for me to complete the two years of schooling.

I am homeschooling my 5 year old granddaughter and I would like to know where I can go to get free homeschooling materials. I am willing to go online if anyone has online ideas or even snail mail. She is in kindergarten now, but any and all material will be appreciated.

I would like 2 know how much would homeschooling cost but not being taught by my parents. Almost like a tutor that comes to your house but a teacher. I want to be taught just like in a public high school but at home with a teacher because nothing is working out for me. I’m depressed and it stresses me out. It’s hard because I am a very shy girl and a big part of your grade is participation and I don’t like speaking up in a classroom. Also there are some disturbing students so it is hard to concentrate. Sometimes it make me feel so bad because I want another way of getting my high school diploma and be in a comfortable environment. Please give me any information about any type of schooling that would be better for me. I really need the help and advice so please help me. Thanks.

Debo asked:


Private is too expensive now and public is a disaster. Looking for a good homeschooling program that is accredited, keeps great records, with access to teachers online and can boast of their students acceptability to some major colleges. I live in California.

saturdays child asked:


This is just one persons opinion, and maybe I’m prejudiced. Every time I meet kids that are home schooled their parents are control freaks. I think any excuse like public school is dangerous is just a crock. The reality is those parents can’t stand the idea of loosing complete control over their kids for several hours each day. What do you think?

Fauna asked:


My grand daughter will have to leave private school this fall because the cost has become so prohibitive, but could she still participate in some of the school activities near her home. Public school where she lives has some problems with bad behaviors.

Jennifer asked:


I’m in 10th grade and, lately, I’ve been thinking about talking to my parents about if I could be home schooled. Is there a way you can get all your high school credits/being home schooled without having to have a parent teach you the courses? For example, is there something online that I could do?

Desiree asked:


There are some genuine cases where home schooling is really the only option, but religious people seem to have taken advantage of the system to willingly handicap their children by programming them with stupid religious beliefs and deliberately restricting the knowledge base from which their children can learn. Laws relating to home schooling were never intended to be twisted so that children with perfectly normal learning capabilities would be handicapped with primitive religious beliefs instead of the most modern educational resources. Should federal laws be passed so that religious people can’t exploit the system to carry out cruel and demented abuse of children in the name of religion?
