Specifically for the state of Ohio, if possible.
Does anyone know if it is possible to pull a student out of the public school system after 3 quarters in 8th grade and complete the 8th grade's final quarter through homeschooling?
I will preface this by saying, I won't go into the details of why I'm considering this because 1,000 characters just isn't enough. I will also say, I am generally NOT a big fan of homeschooling. However, I believe my daughter is in a situation with her 8th grade that the administartion is unwilling and maybe unable to resolve.
So is it too late or is it possible to homeschool for just one quarter of a grade? My goal here would be to pull her out at the end of third quarter and then have her start high school next year as planned, the middle school is just a terrible environment now.(and yes, I do believe the problems are not as bad at the high school level, the issues at the middleschool have became so bad due to the inaction of the administration.

yes, check hslda.org, but also check the Ohio Education Agency for their admissions policy for homeschool students.
you may be facing a situation where your daughter loses her entire 8th grade year credits, meaning you may need to start the entire year over. And if that is the case, you need to make sure what you do at home transfers credit for credit back in to the public system.
You may face a situation where they will test your daughter to allow her back in. This shouldn't be a problem considering she has been in the PS all this time, and she is familiar with the curriculum.
But, check the authorities on the subject, hslda, and also check admissions policies for your school district.

I don't know specifically what OH requires but I do know this...
Your daughter is YOUR daughter and you have the right to remove her from any school you choose whenever you choose. She doesn't belong to the school or the State.
I wouldn't go into it though with the idea of it's only for this semester.... do so whole heartedly and then see what's going on the begining of next year. You may decide to continue. And unless OH specifically requires it you don't have to tell the school anything about what you are teaching or what curriculum you use, it's none of their business.

Ummm.....homeschooling could no longer be you locked in a basement someplace or chained to a table. genuine international events may be the better area of a house depending practise. We backyard and visit parks and farms. We attend countless lectures and my daughter became inspired to do slightly images this wintry climate. My daughter likes to bike interior the afternoons, sculpt maximum mornings interior the sunlight, pick acquaintances to the library, go procuring and to the films on weekends and we both take in artwork shows on each occasion we can. We use city buses and trolleys to get the position we opt for to go. We bike the greenbelt and carry out on the skate park for "well being club type". in case you hate the shape of homeschool you presently have, change it thoroughly! There are as many concepts to homeschool as there are homeschoolers. at present my daughter and a chum have become mutually to observe a weekly PBS particular on interior of reach individuals. They watch and talk at the same time as they have Rocky highway ice cream and luxuriate in each and each others business enterprise. If my daughter hated how she schooled, i could tell her that became her fault for lacking mind's eye and gumption, because we college in accordance to her tastes, abilities and plans. you should attempt that too.

Yes you can. You still need to write a letter of intent, with a list of books and what they cover to the superintendent, before you start. But you do not have to wait for a reply from them. Make sure that you keep a copy of the letter and send it with one of the signature required cards. (Yes it cost a but more but then you know that they got it)
Who know you and your daughter might enjoy learning at home so much that you will do it again next year, I've seen that happen a lot. Then you just send a letter of intent with a book list and what they cover in before the first day of school.
Good Luck!!

I'm not in OH, but the laws are generally the same for everywhere. I'm one state over in IN, and I think all you need to do is give a letter to whoever's in charge and tell them your kid is gonna be HSing. Be sure you check the HSLDA's website for specific laws in OH. Good luck!

Yes. Just follow the rest of her curriculum. That's easy enough. But you must check with the homeschooling laws in your state!!

Yes.
But you have to check with your local authorities as to how to get the paperwork done on graduating and such.
