I just answered a question from someone asking what all it entailed. Made me wonder, how many people “really” are involved in schooling at home??

I learned from my son that I have no right to say he likes something without him actually saying it.

I always use to speak for my son and tell others what I think he should be saying, I learned from him to stop doing this.

What have you learned from your kids home schooling?

Our son has been homeschooled the last year and we are thinking of leaving him at home for another year.

So far he is reading Dr. Seuss level books and other of the same category, he knows his adding and subtracting up to 3 numbers, we do science projects and he has regular park days with his friends (also home schooled) and are involved in his learning.

However my husband still has reservations. I think home schooling has been a great experience, and I am not looking for what should I do - just what do you think about it? I look at my son and see him doing well -

what do you feel are the pros and cons of it?

im really interested in being home schooled but dont know where or how to find out about it. Any websites or pople that know about home schooling ?
my dad is thinking about it but he hasnt had a chanse to find out about it

Is there a test for me to take to begin schooling my child? Anyone currently home schooling out there who can give me some good resources for a small budget? Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

I had to drop out of high school due to exenuating circumstances and picked up where I left off through home schooling so I could graduate. I’m just wondering if the diploma I get from the home schooling will be worth the same, academically speaking, as if I had kept going to school.
The program or school or whatever that I’m going through is American School.

Most of the homeschooling parents I’ve met have chosen home schooling because they felt the public school atmosphere was too liberal or negative, and didn’t like the influences their kids were exposed to. Is that representative of most homeschoolers?

Hey I’ve been trying to start being taught home school online. I’ve already founded a place which is at orionhs.org. I’m 15 years old and I would like to know what can I do so that I could pay for my own home schooling, because I know that my mom has bills and things.

I think it’s about time! Home Schooling is child abuse. Children need to get a good education if they are going to make anything of themselves, and leaving in the hands of non-professionals is criminal. It is no more a parent’s right to pick and choose what their children are taught than it is their right to decide to deny them from receiving blood transfusions. Prior to this ruling children were treated as property, in regard to education, and this is headway in allowing them the basic rights that American’s have been granted for decades, without their parents or anyone else’s interference.

I am asking because my daughter is thinking of home schooling her almost nine year old daughter. My granddaughter is ADHD, and she is taking some kind of medication for it, but the teachers still have trouble with her. Plus they move around a lot. They have been back and forth between New York State and Florida, over the past three years. Florida wants to put her back into the second grade again for the third time. My daughter is getting tired of it, but my granddaughter is also a trouble maker. She hits kids, got kicked off the bus, and almost kicked out of school, and only nine. When she puts her mind to it she is very smart, but because of having the adhd, she also uses that as an excuse. But doesn’t the parent have to have some knowledge of what they are doing, before they start home schooling? Some kind of schooling themself. Some kind of training.I don’t know the laws for what Florida asks for. So if someone could give me some clue for what they might need. Thank you for yourtime
I have no Idea why they move around so much. Besides moving from state to state, they have also moved from place to place down there. In a total of her nine years they have moved at least 10 to 15 times in Florida. I don’t know if they can’t pay their bills, or what it is. Right now they are living in a hotel or motel. I know it’s rough on her, but my daughter does not want to hear anything bad about her husband at all, in any form. They say they are doing fine, and making good money(does roofing work), but if they are doing so great I ask then why do they never have money to stay in one place. We can’t do very much to help, because my husband is disabled, and we are on a limited income ourselves. I agree that my granddaughter needs to stay in one place. She is on meds, and they are watching what she eats, as far as sweets are concerned, but I just don’t know anymore. We aren’t as close anymore. I try to help, but she doesn’t want to hear me at all. She gets po’ed at me. Thanks you.
I have tried to explain that I only want what is good for them, but she thinks I’m against her, which I’m not. I think her husband has got her brain washed. They do go to church, butgod id god no matter what church, but it is the pentacostical(sp). I don’t feel comfortable with that church. But they like it. My daughter is depressed also, and again try to give advice. She has gained so much weight, that her husband calls her Orca the killer whale. Which makes me mad, so I try not to ask about him at all when I call. This way my daughter and I can have a fairly decent talk. I just feel bad about the wole thing. I would like to have them around here more, but my husband also has high blood presure, and last time they were here is shot up to 162 over 90, which is high, and it took quite awhile to get it down. That’s why can’t have them here. Just too much. I would love to have my granddaughter in one place, which I know would help her out, to stay stable. Thank you for your concern, help
