And as a follow-up... What are the religious reasons? Social? Scientific (e.g., anti-evolution)? Areas of study?

I've recently met a lot of folks (well... a lot is relative) who don't want their kids learning certain things, mostly evolution, but also about other cultures and religions.

Ok..as yall know,im thinking about being home schooled but we are not completely sure on how to get into that system.I already know my state requirements so i dont need to go to that website everyone is giving me.My question is does my mom have to call the school board office to withdraw me from school? And if so,will they tell her what to do to get me into the homeschooling system? Also,being homeschooled do I have to take test and if so who do I send them to for them to know im keeping up? And they say that I have to have 180 days of school..is that from august to may or from january to december?Please stop telling me to check the state requirements..LOUISIANA HAS NONE...so do we call the school district or my school or both? Someone just answer my questions correctly please!! Thanks a bunch..oh and im going to be a freshman if that has anything to do with it

There are absolutely no requirements for homeschooling. No tests, nothing. All a parent has to do is say he or she is going to homeschool. There is no accountability. I have two students right now who were "home schooled" and can barely read. I mean a 16 y.o. and an 18 y.o. They read at about a 2nd grade level. The only reason they are even in public school now is because CPS intervened. So, do you think this is ok or do you think homeschoolers should be made accountable?

P.S. Anytime this is mentioned locally all the homeschoolers get angry. I know there are some parents out there doing a great job homeschooling, but what about the kids whose parents aren't?

Is it your desire to replace "credentialed" teachers?
I just read a comment by a question poster that pointed out that homeschool parents will never be able to replace "credentialed" teachers, so I want to hear your viewpoint on that.
Did it ever cross your mind at all to replace teachers of any type when you made the decision to exercise your freedom to educate your children?
I've heard a lot of strange comments about homeschooling, but this was new and I was wondering if anyone felt that way.

As always, I get my questions from other answers. Someone suggested it is because we are insecure and cannot accept anything opposed to our schooling choice for our children. Please explain why you give thumbs down so that they will understand.

My 3d cousin died when his son was 3. Now his son is 14. He was home schooled by his aunt on his mother's side. Who apparently, did a poor job. She left the kids alone. They looked up the answers in the book and turned the work in. He recently began public school and is struggling academically while being suspened on numerous occasions. He is unable to tell time. My neighbors down the street home school their kids. They play all day and are hardly ever inside. Mostly trespass and harass neighbors. I have heard of university students saying they were home schooled and received high test scores on the SAT's and credit by exams. There seems to be a huge inconsistancy. I know it depends on the school and how the parents are evaluated. There shouldn't be such a contrast among home schooled students. Opinions and comments?

i mean, i know it all depends on family circumstances and how the child feels and such,but, i love them and, my parents think they are cracker jack!!! i've heard recently that the government is trying to shut them down--which i'm not surprised by in the least { being that more and more people are going with home schooling!!!} but, my kids have never been happier!!! the ridiculous thing is that we are a low-income family, and, even though my kids receive free lunches, and we are on food stamps, the schools still make us pay school fees every year for 3 children!! in home schooling, you get a free computer,{ for each child!!} and they pay you for the phone line!!!! i mean, what would you go with???

What makes people think that home schoolers who have the whole world as their classroom aren't living in the "real world"?

Please tell me your thoughts if your were homeschooled as a teenager. My 14 year old has ADHD and the teachers have him targeted as a bad kid and immediately send him to the office for everything. They have even yelled at him for stuff that happened in their classes and he wasn't even there that day! Anyway, we are thinking about homeschooling and/or unschooling next year (8th grade) but would really like to hear from other homeschoolers if they liked it or would have rather have been in school. He is worried that he'll miss his friends to much, but I am worried that the school will expell him. Any recommendations, please tell me :)

Should I allow her to go back to public school or continue to home school her and let her also attend college (she attends college now)? She thinks she needs to be around 14 year olds instead of college students.

I am a big fan of homeschooling. I have been homeschooling my kids for years. If anybody asks me about homeschooling they would be sorry they asked, because i would go on my soap box for an hour, (if anybody would have time to listen) and go on and on about the advantages. I too, am fed up with the big S question-Socialization!
However, i notice that on Yahoo Answers, any time somebody comes along and states an opinion against homeschooling, they get so many negative ratings that their answer is hidden.
I think people are entitled to their opinion. One person for example came on saying he/she never met a homeschooler who is socially 'normal' and that is his or her experience with homeschoolers. This person's answer was hidden due to negative rating. All this person did was state their experience. Everyone is welcome to explain to this person why he/she may be having this kind of experience and why their judgement can be in error. But why all the negative clicks?
I see the same

My 16 year old son, who tested as gifted when he was younger, hates school. He is supposed to enter the 11th grade in the Fall but I am considering letting him drop out. Besides the fact that he has not done well academicalIy I as his mother have witnessed his suffering over school for the last four years or so. He has been depressed over school and has felt badly about himself, plus he has developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The stress of school is a tremendous aggravator of these nasty symtoms! I have done some research regarding GED and think this path might be better for him. Our local community college offers GED preparatory classes and GED testing, etc. My question is how will this affect his chances later if he should decide that he wants to go to University. Will having a GED rather than a traditional High School Diploma negatively affect his future?

If you are still going through the summer, what activities do you do?

If you take off, what factors made you decide to take off?

I'm just curious, thanks for any ideas.

We are so lucky to have built an amazing group of homeschool parents and kids over the last 5 years. We started with just a few families and now have over 50 kids in the group. Today we held our last get together of the "year" and had a Field Day. The kids and the parents all had so much fun. Our kids range in age from infant to 15 years old, and they all interact with one another wonderfully.

Tell me about the activities and fun events your homeschool group hosts!
