how do i get homeschooled for 9th?

Answer 1

From start to finish:

Your parents will need to mail a letter of intent to the BOE. This is easy. You'll then have to register as a homeschooler, no big deal as well.

Then, decide what your goals are and how you want to homeschool. If you're homeschooling to catch up, you'll want to follow your state's curriculum. In some states, you can get the school's books. Otherwise, just look for a curriculum that covers about the same material (assuming you want a curriculum). If you're homeschooling to try and focus more on a particular subject, then I'd recommend getting a lot of books on that subject and focusing almost exclusively on that. You'll have to take the same standardized tests as everyone else, so find out what the basic requirements are for those subjects and make sure you reach those. Feel free to do more if you want, but there's no pressure. Homeschooling is about taking control of your life and making it what you want it to be, not what some stranger in some office somewhere has said your life should be.

Or you could sign up for an online school. Or a distance learning program like Laurel Springs. Or you could get some tutors -but that's really expensive- and do it that way.

Whatever you plan to do, don't overwork yourself. You don't spend much time in school actually learning new things. I read somewhere that it's only like two or three hours out of a seven-hour school day, so don't try and schedule yourself up for an 8-3 day. Not only will you hate it, you won't really learn. Work shouldn't take very long. Remember, the emphasis is on you and what you're trying to learn. You don't have to go at everyone else's pace or get through something faster or slower. You're homeschooling because you want to focus on your own learning. My mom has never taught me so I can't help you there, but she SHOULDN'T be your teacher. She should be around to help you find the answers, but learning is best done independently, and it would screw up your relationship with her.

You can get books off of eBay or from a homeschool co-op or group. Even if you're not religious, a church is a good way to get in contact with other homeschoolers, who can set you up with their old books. I decided to get a little more traditional this year and I got my friend's biology textbook online for $20 (average price), meaning you could set yourself up for an entire year -I'll even include stuff like notebooks- for about $130.

Day to day, just chill. Wake up at 7-8, and you can get your work done before noon no problem.

For friends, you'll still have friends from school. No law says you can't hang with them. Otherwise, just do stuff you're interested in. Sign up for a sports team, 4-H, scouts, art classes, etc. Even if you're already good at it, you'll meet other people in the class who you can then hang out with.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

First you have to convince your parents its a god idea. Then your parents call the school board and fill out the paper work to get you homeschooled.

Many states have Homeschool accredation groups (meaning you get a diploma, not a GED). I was a member of PA Homeschoolers Accredation Association. They have a syllabus of what you need to do to accomplish each class and what classes you need (4 years of math, 1 year of geography, 1 year of American history, etc)

And one of the things that give you high school credit is college credit! Many community colleges will let you into their classes if you can pass the entrance exams (you may need to wait a year or two before you can take advantage of this because you are just coming out of junior high). You can get a lot of college under your belt before you even graduate high school.

A local church may have a homeschoolers co-op you can join (they aren't nessecarily religious, but they are community oriented). The public school district will also likely let you join their sports teams, extra-curriculars, and dances. Stay active in these things. One, it will help when you start applying to colleges. And two, you'll be able to laugh your head off when people ask if you get enough social activities as a homeschooler.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

check out www.hslda.org for a list of laws and regulations for your state, plus tons of other information and links you will need to make an informed decision.
May I suggest that you look seriously at why you want to be homeschooled and for how long.
If you think there is a chance that you may need to or want to go back in to the public system, then make sure what you are doing will transfer credit for credit.
Each state is different on that subject, so please be sure to look in to HSLDA which is the Home School Legal Defense Association.
good luck.
