Typographical errors do not constitute poor spelling or an inability to homeschool a child. However, those who were rude and sarcastic may not realize that it may be a child who is asking the question.
As for inexpensive ways to homeschool a child, there are many. We attend educational events in our community, read, watch educational TV and use a lot of internet sites.
There are many sites that allow you to teach your child everything from basic math to algebra to calc and beyond. There are also great sites on poetry, science, geography, history and grammar.
I have created some special lessons for my kids in solving ethical dilemmas, writing their own code of ethics and exploring philosophy because I believe that is one area that is sorely lacking in the public school systems.
We also focus a great deal on writing, sentence structure and writing essays.
Homeschooling is what you make it. Check with your department of education and local school system for resources. Also go online for tons of info.
I also recommend the book "Homeschool Your Child or Free." It is by Gold and Zielinski. I know I recommend this book a lot, but it is a great resource for homeschooling and unschooling.
I homeschool two of my teenagers, one is severely dyslexic and the other is ADHD. They are thriving. We don't really have a structure because they each learn in their own way and at their own pace. But anything can be turned into a lesson. For instance, there is a Betty Crocker commercial where a woman gets on an elevator and when it "dings" she begins to seemingly salivate. In other words the bell on the elevator reminded her of the bell on her microwave which reminded her of the Betty Crocker dessert that she cooked. I pointed out that this was a reference to Pavlov's dog and it launched an extensive research project that the kids initiated. We all learned a lot!
Good luck!

You need to make reservations for hotel rooms in advance. You can't even drive up to a DW resort with out having one. Do stay at a Disney Resort. The benefits are worth it, plus not that more expensive than an off property site. If you stay at a Disney World and drive, you park for free, The biggest plus is the extra magic hours. It gives resort guests extra time in the park when the general public is not allowed. Certain parks ever day will open early or stay open late. Disney is extremely good at making sure that this stays a benefit for resort guests. If you are staying late, you have to get a wrist band and all attractions look for them. We were just there at the end of May and watched as people were asked step out of line since they were resort guests. We always get the Park Hopper option, we feel it's a must. We will go to one park in the morning, take a swimming break during the hot part of the day and then for the evening go to a different park. It makes for a great fun filled last full day too. We wind up going to all the parks and hitting our favorites. People think that we're nuts the way we rush through the parks that day. Have fun, don't try to do everything because you can't. Do what you can and enjoy.

Depends, Some states ( I think it might differ from town to town) allow you to take the material that is being used in class and just allow you to teach it at home, Sometimes they charge a small fee and sometimes it's free. If not your best off trying to buy a set of ciriculums and making sure that they are not internet ones. Insted of buying all of the subjects individually

Are you looking for something online? You might have something available through your local school district or your state board of education. Also check out http://www.k12.com . If they don't have the academy available, you can still sign up as a homeschooling student through them for a fairly reasonable price, if you are grade 8 or younger. There are also things like American School of Correspondence (I've heard they're reasonable) or programs such as the one through Alpha Omega.
Try a homeschooling support group in your area and find out what homeschoolers are doing for kids that age. That way you'll have local support, people to talk to, to follow a particular path.

Home schooling is YOU teaching your child at home. So, therefore, the answer would be your home. Did I pass the test??
