My daughter, an only child has Asperger's Syndrome and I am having a hard time convincing my family to accept homeschooling her as a viable option.

They think that I am unqualified to teach my own child and that I am doing her a disservice because she won't be forced to interact with her same age peers everyday.

My own experience in "regular" school was almost entirely negative. I was bored out of my mind because the work was too easy and the more I was forced to "interact with my same age peers" the worse my social situation got.

My parents had no idea what was going on at school until I told them (years later).

I have learned most social skills the hard way and think it would be better for me to oversee my daughter's social interactions so that I can help her to recognize social blunders as they arise and help her to assess the difference between good and bad social situations.

How do I convince my family to accept this decision?

If at all possible, look at the September 2006 Reader's Digest page 167-174. "Dozens of studies show that the most consistent indicators of student acheivement are the home environment and parental involvement. There are now more than 1million homeschoolers in the U.S. One recent Columbia U. study found that homeschoolers outscored all other groups at college entrance exams." The article goes on to give three examples, on of which was a homeschooler. These parents do not force their interests on their children, but rather, let their children find their own friends and interests (there are so many co-ops in so many diff. communities for homeschoolers). Homeschoolers are not socially retarded (I did public school until my last two years of high school, and I became more social after homeschooling. I had good grades in p.s. but they got better.) Many homeschoolers are more social and get better grades than p.s. students (always a few bad examples) So why are you opposed to it?

theres a few ways i think i should consider homeschooling for me:

1. Better grades...i can focus better and take my time with my work

2. things at school arn't going to great

3. i want alone time and tired of people around so many people

Why i wouldn't want to:

1. losing friends

2. not getting out and being stuck in the house all day

Any pro/cons would be appreciated, websites, etc. We're considering it for several reasons: she has ADHD, spends hours after school doing homework (she's only in second grade!!!), and doesn't have the one-on-one time at school that she really needs to suceed. I basically home-taught her in K and she reads at a 6th grade level, so she's bright but distract(ing/ed!!!) in class.

Okay, so I'm from Missouri, and I found state laws stating what the requirments are for a 16 year old, but I am 17... how do I figure out how to go about it at my age? Like I found bunches of sites, but it doesn't state what u do when your 17 or 18. I'm a junior in High School, and so is one of my other sisters.. I was just wondering how I go about figuring out the requirements when you're 17 years old. Thanks!

Americans hold a negative stereotype of homeschooling. How do you defend your decision to homeschool your children to those who criticize that it is not in their better interest?

thanks for your input.

My mother is gonna start home schooling me and my two sisters, the only problem is she don't know where to get started and neither do I. In other words I guess I'm asking this, how do you start the whole home schooling process and where do I go? I'm just confused about this whole thing, but I need to get started ASAP! So please someone help me!

ok, so me any mom are going with my class to New York in May, It'll cost a little less than $5,000 for both of us. The problem is my "class" isnt really a class. We are small group of homeschooled students that meet two days a week. Only a few people are going which makes it even harder.

I just finished selling the last of my candy bars and after a month of selling them i realized i only got a profit of $108! Selling things is hard work and not to effective. We want to do carwashes and a garage sale when it gets wamer but the problem is that we live near seattle so it wont be warm enough for a while. And the trip is in May.

Does anybody have any good fundraising suggestions or ideas? I found this website and it seemed nice but kinda fishy what do you think about it? http://www.fasttrackfundraising.com/magazine_fundraiser.php?wizard
basically that website will give u a free website to sell magazines on and get a nice profit...but anybody have any other GOOD ideas?

I have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 9-month old. I have tried Baby Einstein and Baby Genius cd's but they don't prove to be effective. I would like to have highly intelligent, intelluctual children. I would like to know what products are out there that provide what I'm looking for.
