Home Schooling

studying on my own. I need two years of a foreign language to graduate high school. Could I take a CLEP exam for if I pass it, I could by pass the hastle of taking a 2 full courses of french? So, I'd just take a CLEP exam and automatically get my 2 language credits I need to graduate high school?

Or are clep exams just for college students?

What are your thoughts?

THANKS!!!

If you could suggest one thing to America's Public schools that would improve them what would it be? I'm looking for some new ideas. I have my own ideas. But I want to hear what you have to say. The Public Schools in Albuquerque stink. How could we improve them? Or any place else?

First and foremost, I do not home school. I am just interested in educational trends.

1) How long do you homeschool (through highschool?)

2) Does a parent that home schools need to have any educational requirements? (i.e. must have masters degree)

3) I am a fairly intelligent person, but have been stumped by my daughters 8th grade math questions. How do you teach something advanced unless you already know the work yourself?

4) How many hours per day of instruction (not counting "homework" do you give? How many hours of homework? Use the 7th grade as an example

5) If you have more than 1 kid, how do you divide your time?

6) If you have kids in the 6th 7th and 8th grade, are you in teaching mode 18 hours a day?

A lot of questions. Please answer whatever you have time or feel comfortable answering.


Thanks

There is a debate in my homeschool co-op over which is better. I am a fan of phonics but to some other homeschoolers, phonics is a DIRTY WORD!
I can see how a whole language approach can be useful, but only combined with standard phonics that's been a proven method for at least two centuries.
What's your take?

I think it is just rude when people say that homeschoolers have never been out in the real world. Like what is the "real world"? I am not living in some "fake world". Just walking down the street anything can happen, not just at school. Give me your opinion. Thank-you!

Does anyone know any great resources of how to juggle cleaning, cooking, homeschooling, basically, being a stay at home mom and teaching her two children? I am in DIRE need of order in my life! On top of having 2 toddlers, I also am starting an at home business of running a greenhouse and raising plants. Any personal tips would be appreciated, as well as any resources on how to juggle my daily tasks.

Many people say that homeschoolers are socially awkward. What does it mean? Does it mean that we are shy, or wierd? Its NOT just homeschoolers, but also people in public schools as well...

Considering the number of outside activities most homeschoolers are involved in and that homeschoolers are able to use the whole world as their classroom, shouldn't homeschooling be renamed to reflect what it really is: Family based (as opposed to institution based) education?

This might help resolve the misconception that most homeschoolers are socially isolated and that they spend all of their time at home, which in most cases is the opposite of the truth.

I am seriously considering homeschooling my son for a few years. He is delayed in his speech but advanced every other way. The school he would attend is also a dual-immersion school (they teach half the class in Spanish then repeat the information in English). The school's test scores (they claim are good) show that only 26% of the kids can pass the tests. I think that homeschooling would also allow him to progress at his pace--not having to keep up with the fastest or alowest kid in class.

What were your reasons for homeschooling? Is it best to approach it on a year-to-year idea for make long term plans?

Well, I am in grade 9 and I love being homeschooled! I have gone to a public school for 8 years and liked it. But I have found that being homeschooled you can do so much more and I find that I am alot smarter. I don't have to pack my bag, make my lunch, wait for the bus, and get up in a rush every morning. Its a HUGE waste of time. I only work around 2-4 hours a day. I also HATE when people say "well, what about your social life?" "But ill have no friends if I am homeschooled". or" I dont no how I will survive if I am homeschooled". Give me a break, you can still keep in touch with your friends. What if we were all homeschooled? And only a few kids went to public? If we were all homeschooled I think it would be alot funner instead of going to school. So, what do you guys think about homeschoolers?

Please, no naysayers.

From this Yahoo Answers site and from my kid's 7th grade teacher (who taught her 18 month old to read), I have learned that children can learn to read between the ages of 2 and 5 AND IMMENSELY ENJOY THE PROCESS OF LEARNING TO READ.

I am only interested in responses from people who have taught their young children to read. I know there is lots of disbelief--think as you wish. People have done this, and I just want to know how they approached the task, what worked to get their young ones reading.

Thanks!

I am homeschooled and I don't think I have gotten enough work done this year for my parents to homeschool me again. Do I have to pass the standardized tests, or just get enough work done? Like, if I haven't done a lot of work, and I pass the standardized tests, will I pass?

I kinda want to know the benefits of home-schooling. My husband wants to home-school our children, but I don't. Can anyone convince me? Our kids are: Charianna Rose- 5 y/o (going into K-5) Danielle Elizabeth- 2 (about to be 3 in July; will go into K-3) Caroline Scarlett (goes by Scarlett)- 1 y/o and the twins Anabella Renne and Ansley Grace are 0!!!! We want more children, so do you think this could work out for us? Also, what are the benefits and downside affects of home-schooling? Thanks in advance! ~Ella~ XOXO

My son will be 5 in Sept 19 . I want to homeschool him through K12.com that is affiliated with our state -Florida virtual public school- because it's free and they provide all curriculums&supplies and also the tests are free by certified teachers.However they don't accept him because he was born after Sept 1st . They ask me to pay 600$ for supplies +94$/month . I can't afford all that . If I wait another year, I feel we are loosing time . He had a kindergarten eligibility screening and passed it very well above average but they still don't accept him because he was not born two weeks earlier ! . Any suggestions? Any other free or cheaper curriculums for kindergarten? If I go with another curriculum , will they accept him in 1st grade next year? And do I have to pay a certified teacher for tests ? Any experiences with k12?

Do you feel that you are more respected if you home school? Do you feel that you would not be respected if you were a stay-at-home mom without homeschooling, that society dismisses women unless they work outside the home?
