I was thinking about re-entering the work force to help them through college. Homeschooling has been a part of my life for so many years now that it will seem odd to not have kids at home to teach, and I was just wondering what plans other hsing moms have.

It seems like on the statistically rare occasions somebody uses homeschooling as an excuse to isolate, abuse, molest, or otherwise harm their kids, everyone instantly piles on the bandwagon and says, "YOU SEE! HOMESCHOOLING IS BAD!!!" Whenever there's a kid who's a little different from the norm, it's automatically assumed that he's sheltered, miserable, and will never be able to lead a productive life. Whenever somebody knows one homeschooler who wants to try out school, they say, "YOU SEE? HOMESCHOOLERS HATE BEING HOMESCHOOLED!"

And yet...

Just about everybody's kids complain about school. People don't like it when they're in and they only talk about how broken it is while they're out. Every day, you hear about increased violence in schools. Yet nobody says, "YOU SEE! SCHOOL IS BAD!"

After Columbine, which was about as drastic and covered by the media as you could get, nobody said anything about stopping schooling.

Why are people such hypocrites about this?

I am 14 and in eighth grade. I have been homeschooled all my life and I want to try highschool next year. I don't want to hurt there feelings or get them mad. I just want to be more social and stuff. Should I just forget it? Any advice helps.

I was thinking about this recently: I think I know far more homeschoolers who started out with their kids in public school, got frustrated with various things and decided to pull them than I do people who have homeschooled from the start.

Is this the same for you? Do you know more people who pulled their kids than people who homeschooled from the start?

How does the teaching work? My mom doesn't think that she could teach me, but I've heard that anybody can really teach their kids.. is that true? What are the positives of being homeschooled? She thinks that in the classroom i'd be better, but how can I persuade her that homeschooling is perhaps good for me.. more time, more one on one time, more time to work on assignments... Help??

Whats the cost? How can you do it not linked with another school? What would be the most time a high school student would have to spend on academics?? I don't understand how you start out? You get out of your school and then what do you do from there... how do you get connected and started with homeschooling???
Please let me know ANYTHING... I don't really know anything about homeschooling...
Thanks

I have been homeschooling my eight-year old son for three years using A Beka. We are using third grade right now and I'm trying to decide what to use for next year. A Beka is about the perfect academic level for him, but I would like to do something a little more interesting. I feel like A Beka is a bit repetitive. Anyone have any thoughts on both A Beka and Calvert? The advantages and drawbacks of both. If he would be doing fourth grade A Beka, would that compare academically to Calvert's fourth grade curriculum? Thanks for any advice!

I am a public school teacher, but I would really love to teach a smaller group of students and have more flexibility. Has anyone ever heard of teachers working for a few families as a homeschool teacher?

How does Harte’s writing demonstrate regionalism? Look for both physical environment descriptions and examples of distinct western speech.

I am an above average high school student. I may have an illness causing me to be out of public schools for 6 weeks. Should I be homeschooled or is there another alternative?

Okay,I live in the small town of Lowry.We have only one school to pick from other then the Christian School that they already attend!My problem is that this school does not have all Certified teachers!They work in paces and sit in a little office like seat and get in trouble if they turn arround to stretch.K-12 are all the same!The school here is racist! My eldest son is half mexican and where I live there arent many other hispanics around.He suffered!He was beat up and came home with bruised ribs,and this was grade K!I love my children and I cant just move!We live on a farm and we have alot of things to learn even from here!I do have more reasons for wanting to take them out then the reason I provided.And because we only have 32 kids in our small school I know that there is only one certified teacher.They really dont teach ,the kids have paces.I use to volunteer also!!One thing is for sure I do have back up from my husband and I do not have to quit any job!

Why is it when some parents of a home schooler or public schooler say that the other always "hates" the other? (If you know what I mean).
But to me it seems like it's the parents are the ones "hating each other", the kids are the ones who seem to get along fine.

Shouldn't us parents learn a bit form our kids and get along?

I work full time as a teacher, and I have been approached by a family to "homeschool" their son who cannot attend school due to an illness. My normal tutoring rate is 50 an hour, and they want me to work three hours a day. What would be reasonable to charge them? The boy is in 7th grade.
