When a child is sent to a group home for behavior issues what can they expect in the group home? Like what do they have as far as personal belongings, daily routines, how much freedom etc.

I need advice/an opinion. When I first started high school I lost two people of whom I was very close to. I became very depressed. I started to refuse to go to school on-and-off regularly. It was the biggest mistake of my life. this carried on for two years. No-one helped me. my parents then sent me to a private schoo, and lied to the head tecaher saying that I wasn't behind in my schholwork..when I was..seriously behind.... I found I couldn't keep up with the work..by the end of the year I couldn't cope anymore and because I didn't know what to do...refused to go to school altogether.(this was the end of my third year in high school) I was then at home with 3 measly hours of home tuition in only Englah and art....for the next 2 years. I got G grades in my GCSEs (apart from English) what I need to know is.....when I was at the end of my 3rd year and then went to ahve home tuition...how could I have fixed the situation then/ what could I have done? I didn't have a clue how I could have caught up/what I should have done to fix the situation at this point. WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE BACK THEN? HOW COULD I HAVE FIXED THINGS? PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME. Could I somehow have caught up if my parents had been able to arrange proper home education/tuition for me?(starting again with year7/first high school year work) and then taking 5 years to catch up before I sat my GCSEs?(so I would have been taking my GCSEs about now) or would this not have worked? If not...then why?
also...how could this home education have been arranged/organised?? Since my parents wouldn't have had a clue how to structure this?
Can anyone provide me with any answers? please don't say that it doesn't matter anymore...because it really does to me...and it would help me to sort my head out if I knew the answers to these things.
I live in England

I'm an unschooled teenager who doesn't get the idea of school-at-home homeschooling.

By this, I mean the people who have a curriculum, school hours, sometimes even a 'school room' with desks and a blackboard, give their kids homework and grade their papers. With all that time and energy, it's got to be exhausting for the parents, it takes time away from the kid to hang out or pursue a hobby, and frankly I don't think it's good for the kid for the people who give him grades to be the people he lives with.

Even with all that aside, what's the point? Just send your kid to school, or if you're religious, find a Catholic school.

I know I sound kind of hostile but I really just want to know.

Okay why is it that most (not all) parents that home school think that all home schoolers are automatically smarter then kids who attend public/private schools? And why is it that most (not all) parents who send their kids to public/private school automatically think all home schoolers are social outcasts and are not fully exposed to the outside world?

Some home schoolers are really smart, and other are not. Some public/private school kids are really smart and others are not.

Just because kids go to school doesn’t mean they are automatically "bad". And just because some kids are home schooled doesn't mean they are automatically "good"

What’s the point of making home schoolers sound better then schooled kids, and what’s the point of making schooled kids sound better than home schoolers?

Their all kids right? And all kids have their own personality. Their not robots, no ones the same it depends on the person. Why can't all schooled and home school kids be treated the same

I read a comment that said, "I don't think it is healthy for children to be around their parents 24/7". Well, duh!!!!! My children are not around me that much but they are educated at home. They don't go to the bathroom with me or sleep in my room.... eeeeewww!!!! We live with modesty and personal privacy. I know that it is not what the writer meant by the comment -- but I had to poke some fun.....

My question is: WHO is the best person to raise and supervise the education of YOUR own child? Is it you? Is it a group of children in a classroom? Is it a state-trained teacher?
I hear professional teachers saying opposite things -- some say that parents are the best ones to train the children from birth to adulthood and others say no, no, no, that only *they* can do a good job.
So, if I was taught be these professional teachers and they are sure that they did a good job and I completed the material with good grades - shouldn't I be perfectly prepared to teach my own child

I homeschool my two children and hear people all the time ask about their social skills and if I'm afraid they will be social rejects, what does this mean? And why are so many people concerned about the social skills of hs kids?

My soon to be 9 year old son has a hard time focusing on his schoolwork. He gets distracted by any little thing. Any sound will distract him, his younger sister making any sound will distract him, etc. He's used to sounds and I've never kept a quiet house. It's just the distraction issue. He hates doing schoolwork. I have tried using timers to help him focus, but that just agitates him and keeps him from working as well. I do not have the television on, so that is not an issue either. Are there any good ideas I can try to help him keep focused on his schoolwork?

Why do you think?! I've been homeschooled since 3rd grade (I skipped second cuz all the work was way too easy) but last year I went to public school. Everyone who found out that I was homeschooled was like "really?!" They never would have guessed it had I not told them. Unless they guessed by my 4.0 GPA and the fact that I'm a Christian. but there were a ton of other people just like me at school who had gone to public school siunce prekindergarten.

So what's the deal? How can people judge homeschooler's like all of them are alike? Is it because we spend more time around our parents? I don't. After school (which my mom just supervises, I pretty much teach myself) I'm out at classes, working, Junior Achievement, with friends, singing somewhere, shopping....everything. I probably spend more time out places than people who go to public school, because I only spend 3.5 hours on school every day and not 6 plus hours in a classroom.

WHY the stereotype?

My 13 year old nephew has moved in with my parents next door to me. He's a wonderful child who has not had a healthy role model. He was in many fights in school and is below his level in academics. He does NOT do well in public schools at all! It's due to the way my sister raised him. But, now he is here (next door) and we (my mother and I) have decided to both home school him. My mom ordered all the materials and I will be teaching him Math, Computer Skills, Typing and Reading. Yesterday was a very difficult day. It was our first day with Math. He is definately behind but I was positive through the whole experience. It took him 3 hours to understand the Periods of a number. You know... ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc. At this rate we are not going to get through the material to keep him on track. I've taught adults to read in the past and have trained many adults for work purposes. But, this is new to me. Can anyone please help me with teaching skills
