Home School

Wendy asked:


How do you do group work?
How well do students fit in if they return to public education?
I am curious to know how experienced and successful home school parents went about covering all the subjects.

Culture Warrior asked:


Do you view now deceased home school leader David Koresh as a martyr for our cause? Is Koresh the “gold-standard” that all other home school parents should be judged by? How common is it for middle-aged parents to marry pre-pubescent girls in their home school group?

King H asked:


Please understand this is not a question about judging parents who choose to do this for whatever reason. I’m just curious. I am considering having my children home schooled however, when they grow up, what do the parents do? It appears to be 24/7 you and your children, but at some point they go to college or go out on their own. What then? How are the relationships with their spouses?

I have heard that California is proposing a law that would mandiate that home-school parents would have to be certified teachers to be able to home-school?

I am concerned that this might bleed off into other states…

I home school my two boys. We don’t really use grades other than for Math and Spelling. Just wondering how you all feel about it.
Thanks

Blank asked:


I don’t get it, why it is that so many parents that home school their kid’s trash school kids.

I’m 14 and I’ve been home schooled all my life and I hear a lot of home school parents trash schooled kids just because they go to school. They make it sound like that just because they go to school their automatically going to use drugs, drink alcohol, smoke, have sex, curse, cut themselves, use anorexia or bulimia, shoplift, etc…
Now I know of home schoolers who have lost their virginity, cut themselves, curse, shoplifted, and used anorexia and bulimia. (I’m not saying that all home schoolers do that, and not all school kids do that either)

Me I have used bulimia and still using it, I’m treated different because I’m home schooled, I don’t know multiplication (I’m suppose to be in 8th grade) And I don’t have that many friends. What makes home schooling so great and why do home school parents trash schooled kids?

Susan T asked:


I am thinking about home-schooling my children, ages 7 and 11, and I know there are different curriculum’s for homeschool. I don’t know where to go to find out about homeschooling resources or how to compare the different programs. In addition, what resources are available to home-school parents? How can you suplement the social aspects, art, PE, and other programs offered in school. I would like to find the program that is right for my children and encorporate all of the additional activities to create a well rounded education for them.
