For those concerned about socialization for their homeschooled children, look for a homeschool support group in your area. I have been homeschooling for ten years and all five of my children have good social skills. Some churches have homeschool support groups, and many communities have them too. I have moved from am big city with many support groups to choose from, to a small town with only one group. Ask around as well as search online. I also have my children involved in youth activites at our church as well as in our community. Good luck.

I am homeschooling my 2 girls K-5 and 3 yrs old. They are both doing well in academics and i can say that they love God even in an early age, my k5 especially is now using higher grades texbooks like the ones for grades 1 and 2 and she loves to write short stories and notes. Though i say that they are a little advance and are happy kids in the home ( because i spend time with them a lot and all the material needs are met) im still concerned about their socialization , we only have 1 car and my husband has to work several hours to meet both ends , i have no friends to actually help me take the kids out and i have noticed that tho theyre smart kids theyre a little subdued when theyre around kids or people and now my oldest is asking about friends , i cant compromise putting her in PS and let her ride in the school bus plus she might get bored since she is a little beyond the first grade basics, please help pray for all the concerns of all the homeschooling families.

I love school because i get to write

hi

Judging from the number of misspelled words and grammatical errors, manu of you should not be home-schooling.

Someone help give me guidance where I can look. I have a fifteen year old daughter who is in a virtual high school but she is not able to work at her own pace. I think are best option is just homeschooling, but not sure where to find good curriculum that ain't going to bust my pocket book. Any suggestions please. Thank You

Hello! This is for all those people who are looking for an internet program that works for your child. I am a homeschool parent and have been homeschooling my daughter for 3 years! I use: time4learning.com it cost me on a average of 19.95 a month cheap compared to buying lunches! My daughter has excelled in all areas. This program is designed to fit any needy child or advanced child. This program is from pre- 8th grade. It is so awesome!!!! Try the demo it is free. PS if you pay for the whole year the price is cheaper and if you pay quarterly it averages 14.95 a month. Its in Florida and I'm in Missouri! It calculates grades and keeps track of all records, quizes, test. My daughter has also learned outside of class: sign language, swimming, piano lessions, and we have our special time for religion. My daughter is out going!!!!!!!!! She has tons of friends!!!!! And that saying, "how does she get socialized?" is a mis-concept. Good Luck to all of you parents who are homeschooling or choosing to homeschool. As for us "WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR DECISION!"

Wow, you just confirmed that you ARE a teacher in the public schools by your typical solution: Put your kid on DRUGS. That's the answer to everything, isn't it? Hmmm, wonder why so many kids end up on meth...they've been on DRUGS since they were 5 years old, thanks to the public school system. Yikes. Homeschool your kid so he can get the love and attention he needs, instead of being put on meds and warehoused in a public school setting. Good luck and remember to take advantage of all the free library and internet resources available to you.

I am looking for a program for my son who has ADD & public schools have alowed him to fall through the cracks, & the teachers have told him they dont care about him, or if he passes or fails. I have done everything I know to do & am now looking to Home School him but need help finding the best one for both of us , I am not the smartest cookie in the box & I know I wont be able to teach him every subject my self, I need someplace willing to help him learn, & help guide him, he need as much one on one as he can get, he needs to be able to do his schooling when he is most alert & able not when the school chooses. We dont have the money to spend on expencive home schooling we need one that will not charge an arm & a Leg. We live in Texas close to Houston if anyone can help us We would greatly appreceate it Thank You

I am desperately seeking a program in Georgia for my son grade 6th i need something free we are on a fixed income, my husband is terminally ill if this place or anyone else can help me respond to hansonhephzibah@comcast.net THANKS

I'm hoping to adopt the a home school programme for my two girls 5 and 3 year olds. This site is a good starter for me and I really appreciate your efforts. I'll search for my info but I;m really glad to be here.

This site sucks. I am looking for simple math worksheets and I found a clearinghouse of links to other websites that are clearinghouses for other links to places that MIGHT have a simple math worksheet.

I am trying to get information to help my 3yr old get a headstart before school next year. Does anyone know where i can get free information to help him?

im an incoming 9th grade student that wants to work over the summer to keep my math skills sharp. any help on any website that might help me?

The free public cyber schools for home sound enticing.....keep in mind that once 'public' school starts reimbursing homeschoolers for everything, government becomes a major part of your school efforts and laws are put into effect that start taking away rights at home to educate your child. It's basically attending public school at home. If that's OK with you, then it might be what's good for your family. Regarding 17-yr old, you CAN afford to homeschool. There are tons of free outlets for homeschoolers!!!!

how do i find good geometry books for a grade 6 going into grade 7?

thankyou

To the parent wanting to teach about the human body, we just got several books from Love to Learn. One of them is a book that has a craft for each organ.

I am looking for a home school curriculum that does not revolve 100% around religion. Something that is based more on the basics...reading, writing, arithmetic, etc. Any recommendations?

IS IT OK TO HELP YOUR KID take a test at your house ? like show them how to do problems they don't know during test?

I'm trying to teach my daughter about the human body organs and i'm having trouble finding any worksheets or printouts. PLEASE HELP!

Cool Idea!

I have just decided to homeschool my 8 year old son who has PDD NOS. I am not sure how to go about where to find a good curriculum for him as he is lacking in his reading skills and tested low in all other subjects. Any advice would ceretainly be appreciated. Thank you so much.

Love the individual comments! Web sites like these help everyone. I’m a “first year” home school teaching Dad. My son is a 14 year old public school frustrated wreck! Since we began home schooling 3 months ago, we have turned his learning, attitude, and grades completely around, from a failing “who cares attitude” to a positive learning “I can do this” (and like it) attitude. Home schooling and its environment may not be the answer for everyone, but it was ours! Before giving up on changing public education (for the better) and leaving a child (who is not succeeding or “barely” hanging on) in public schools, I encourage everyone to give home-schooling a chance, who knows you may even get closer to your child/grandchild. The first step was well before the decision to home school; Proverbs 22:6 Train up (teach) a child in the way they should go; even when they are old they will not depart/swerve from it. The very next verse explains why. If you have any doubt, look at our society today and honestly contemplate: The Rich Rule Over the Poor. Not necessarily a person, but maybe a bank, finance company, loan company…etc.

To the concerned father about his 14 year old daughter, its hormones!! and this too shall pass, teach her to love herself, that her body is special and that going above and beyond being just a friend (and define what it means to be a friend) is not acceptable in your house..I am a mother of 4, also raised step children and out of the 8 children 5 were girls and they have all behaved the way they are required to, and I am most proudly to announce that my 20 and 19 year olds are still virgins

My view to the mom of the 5th grade son, is similar to others who read the mean comment. We like you had to move a lot with my husbands job, and we now have a son who is slightly attention def. and we are not going to allow him to just be given ritalyn as this pot calling the kettle black (i.e. idiot) suggest. I am a nurse and can tell you that most kids on this drug are only on it for the teacher's patients not for what is best for the child. I now homeschool all four of our children and they are thriving in this environment. Just be careful not to put them in a bubble. There are many opportunities to get them out of the house and around other kids and not be awkward. Do Them!!!!! Our children are nothing less than happy, closely connected to each other yet able to have their own friends to be with. They are very well rounded - as the world seems to think they should be - Your kids will do fine if you relax and just go about teaching them in the way they learn best. Only you can know what is best for your child. Any parent that is cautiously thinking about homeschooling is a involved parent or they would just rush into it. Homeschooling is not a all day or even everyday process. You can rebend and stretch his attention level a little at a time, and he will settle down. Most kids that act out in class are not attention deprived but flat out bored and the teacher can not get to them because their minds move faster than they can keep up with, not necessarily because of their teaching methods or skills but because they can really only move as fast as the slowest child in the class. Kids with limited attention spands usually are the ones who catch on quick and want to move on, but they get frustrated and just flat out bored. I cried my eyes out the first time I pulled my oldest out of school, thinking oh my what have I just done to my child. After the first year fears are over you will get exactly what it is I'm saying. It is not as hard as you think it will be. Your biggest critics are usually those who have never or would never do or agree with what you are doing anyway. So consider the source. Go with the advice of those who are seasoned homeschool parents, because at one time we were in your shoes. I will tell you it is work on your behalf. But I used to work outside the home and still managed to homeschool our kids, they were all off the charts as far as standardized testing (which is nothing more than someones openion as to what your child should know in life). You will not forget or leave something out. Look at it this way, at each school they set up a standard for what they think each child should learn at each grade level. No two schools are the same. For example: School "Smart" thinks that their kids should be able to memorize sight words and be able to spell and recognize them coming out of K and the phonotics of spelling will come along with it. But you change districts and now your child goes to School "Education" they feel that it is better to learn to spell phonoticly from the beginning and that they will learn sight words in the process but not until mid 1st grade year, and they learned different parts of science, math, history, and social studies than what School "Smart" did in K. - each district does a basic subject area for grade level but most schools are not the same across the board. You will teach your children different things at different age levels and will probably get more indepth because you have the time to your not locked to a classroom where you are on a time frame and have limited resources for hands on activities due to economics or time. You will get a hundreds times over more education into your child because they are your focus. Not a curiculum imposed upon you. First time homeschool parents, relax you can do this. Your child didn't come with a book on how to raise so how can a school system possibly tell you how to educate them. They are not given the manual you should have recieved. They are not given a book on how your child learns anymore than you where. They are only doing what you did to the point that your child did to this point, going with what should work and trying it. You didn't know how to take care of a baby until you birthed on and yes you probably made some mistakes but are they to school age now??? think about it you did that part of raising them, it took work, trial and error, at times you had to make hard decissions on what was best for your child, why would you expect their educational process to be any different??? Just keep doing what it is your doing, being a parent. To the parent of the 5th grade boy, the person with the mean come back needs to probably be a parent to their own child first, because it doesn't sound like they are doing such a great job of their own. It is easier to tell someone else what to do, so that you don't have to look at what a mess up your making of your ownself and life.

Guys, Let me make it clear here .. There is a difference between free resource and interactive online classes. Like emath360 it is online but it's a live class program and interactive. Teacher motivate the students and use different learning methods so that students can learn easily.

Dear Anon 3.25.09 12:12pm. I am so sorry this happened. It is clear you are doing anything you can to make "it" work for you and your family. I commend you. I have a son with a mild attention deficit. We are doing our best too. I had thought about home schooling when we relocated but decided against it since alot of his problem is socially driven. He is shy and has a difficult time making friends. I found that keeping an open forum with the school and voluteering my time to the school beneficial to both parties. I was kept in the "loop" and they always have time and that little xta patience we need. Best of luck to you. Canadian D.S and yes big bad brave one - my son is on a mild med.

i'm sorry..............now a child with a behavior problem is classified as a label by his own parent.. you should really blame your self and get the kid some ritalyn. or maybe STOP UPROOTING YOUR KID IDIOT

I am sorry for not mentioning this, but my daughter is in 2nd grade now. She reads at a 6th grade level on all her reading readiness scores at school. She is also at a 4th grade level in Math if they would ever put her where they say they want to. The excuse if scheduling issues. I also would like to find any resources in my area to help with extra things like Gym, Science etc., Thank You again Lydia

i need help i have a 14 year old who needs to be homeschooled but i cant afford the textbooks or tuition if any one could help me i would forever be greatful my husband and i are both currently out of work

Hi! I!m new to homeschooling and I had to take out from school my daughter who is in 10th grade. Could somebody give some advice?

My 16 year old son is struggling in his Algebra 2 class.I thought it would be really great if somehow I could pull him from that one cless and homeschool in that subject but keep him in school for the rest of his subjects.Please let me know if this is possible to homeschool him in only one cless while attending a public school.Thank you.

*NEW TO HOMESCHOOLING* I have a 15 boy who is having a whole lot of trouble in public school. I feel as if they are not giving him enough attention like he needs to comprehend the lessons. My only concern is the graduation or diploma aspect of it. He is fully capable of learning what he needs to if I decide to teach him, but when he's done with everything, how does he get a diploma from it? Are the diploma your able to purchuse on THSC Association legal, like for jobs and future things? How will I know when he's ready to graduate? Is it best to create your own curriculum or to buy the ones online? Please Help Me! Thank you

My teacher must really like this, so do i! She uses this site ALOT!

As a pubic school teacher I have never been in favor of home schooling. However due to several factors, I am now considering homeschooling my 4 yr. old granddaughter for her kindergarten year. She has attended a Montessori Preschool and I am afraid she will be bored and ignored as she already knows most of the K standards. I am concerned that if I homeschool her, she will miss out on socialization. She is an only child. As i read many of the posts I become very concerned that parents who are uneducated, are going to try to educate their children. I understand their concern with children who have ADHD, etc. but wonder how they will be able to cope with trying to teach their child. I have seen first hand how frustrated parents can become trying to deal with a child with a lerning problem and then to have them 24/7 and be responsible for their learning or lack thereof. ....a heavy load for most parents regardless of how well meaning they are. I hope they are going to seek professional help outside the school if they are going to attempt this task.

My highly motivated self managed daughter, now 17, was 15 when she decided she didn't want to go the traditional high school route. She knew she wanted to spend her 11th & 12th grade years doing the Running Start program thru the local college. So instead of attending the High School she spent her 10th grade year at home doing the Homelink program online thru the local school district. She still enjoyed the perks of being a public school student without having to attend the actual High School. She whizzed thru the program and finished the school year early and got her first part-time job. She's now in her first year of Running Start and doing fabulous. I hope this idea might be helpful for some of you looking for creative education alternatives.

i need help on my math

hi , my daughter is in preschool. i need worsheets to make her practice alphabets and numbers

help needed

it rockes the house ! ! ! ! ! !11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all that are thinking about Homeschooling. This is not an easy decision. Just remember to breathe, you will be fine, it can be very overwhelming. Just make sure you find what your state requires do to not all states are the same. Check the HSLDA.org for any info you need. If you need any support, there are plenty of HS support groups in your area ie: Yahoo, Meetup.com. Myspace, etc... Just remember why you are making this decision & don't let people discourage you. Remember, this is for your child & it will be a wonderful life changing experience

ALL i need to teach at my homeschool class(5kids) is this website!

Hi Everyone, thanks for sharing your stories. Still much more to read.. Was wondering.. I am terrible at Math as a Mom. Everything else is great. But now my son is in Grade 7 and I am having an awful time with his work. I need some suggestions on "online help" if anyone knows, that will teach HIM the stuff directly.. I will only supervise.. don't get me wrong, I can manage my life with Math calculations, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Other basic stuff.. but right now we're on Fractions.. I can't comprehend the stuff he has to do. I have had several family members and friends work with me online via emails offering help. But the suff just isn't sinking in with me. Is there an online CD-ROM / Elementary Math program. Etc. that may be available ?? thanks for any help

je ne sais pas?

i am currently homeschooling my 14 year old who has adhd, ocd and odd. it can be hard but it is what is best for her right now. i also have a 9 year old who is in public school with an aide and resource room accommadations. he has been diagnosed with bipolar, adhd and odd. We recently moved to the area and i am having issues with the district and am considering homeschooling him also. i am just not sure if i can do it with both kids. my daughter (the 14 y/o) is behind on math for her 7th grade level and my son (the 9y/o) is behind on reading for his grade level-4th. plus the behavioural issues currently with both. any suggestions or support?

abcteach.com, tlsbooks.com, theteacherscorner.net, kidzone.ws are just a few sites where you may print out free worksheets. Schoolzone.com offers great yet inexpensive workbooks. You'll still want to supplement with free printables though. I use a lot of free interactive sites for a change of pace too. Grace

Dear obviously-gifted 8th grader: YOU are a homeschooling parents' dream-student! Independent learners are ideal for the homeschooling atmosphere. Are your parent(s) willing to support you in this endeavor? As a minor, you'll need a parent's permission to make this change. Grace

My child has ADD and has been taking Adderall since second grade. Starting seventh grade at home this year with the ABeka cd program is the best move we have ever made. The teachers are wonderful, she is off the medication, gaining weight, very happy, making good grades, and if she doesn't focus, I play the cd over until she retains it. She is getting the best Christian education we can give her and ABeka is wonderful.

I also need some help. My 7 year old is in first grade and my preschooler is 4 years old. What is something that will help me with my 4 yr. old? I want something that will stick with her but also at the same time that she will enjoy.

what forms do i need to homeschool my 5 yr.old do i need certin books or can i go to a teacher supply store and get them

I am wanting to home school my 11th grader where is the best place to get everything I need to continue her education

I am looking into home schooling my 9th grader but am having a really hard time finding out how to get the curriculum amd materials and finding out what it will cost... I am really just looking for basics at this point

Don't ask the school...they may discourage you from homeschooling. Calling the DPI or checking out the HSLDA website may help. They have all states listed there and what the laws are. For the lady wondering about homeschooling her pre-K. In my state only 6-18 yr olds must attend. Please check the age requirement of your state. You may not need to do anything. I hope this helped a bit and good luck to everyone.

I have a four year old and right now we only have one car and her dad has to go to work for 5:30a.m. I have a hard time getting my daughter to school because we have to find our own transpiration we also live 1 mile from the school. Its to hard to walk her to school in the winter. I would love to home school her but i dont know where to start. I mean do you just call the school and tell them you are going to home school your child? I know she's only in pre-k but i dont want her to miss out on school. If anyone had any ideas for me just let me know! Thank You

This is my 1st year homeschooling. My student is loving it. The freshman year of high school. It's quite a struggle for me though, still working. I'm trying to become more organized. I really appreciate the comments. Thanks.

Sorry...least...was supposed to be "less". aood was suppose to be "good". That's what happens when you type when tired!! L.O.L.

My daughter has an IEP, she doesn't socialize with shildren her age very well. She loves to socialize with her teachers & aides mostly. she has a few friends her age but not many. Any way her dad has an overseas pcs, to Japan, they don't want my daughter there because of her IEP & the meds she hasn't been on in 5 years. I am going to my home town of brentwood Long Island. The middle school she will be attending ( was the same one I attended) now has a gang problem, over crowding, lack of funding , & bullies seem to be celebrated as opposed to admonished.... I have made up my mind to home school my 8th grader but I am not sure which way to turn.... please help I have to start doing it after January 23,2009

i need help so i can teach my children cause they is so behind of other children in their age group

PLEASE FORGIVE one or two misspelled words didn't proof read before submitting ;-D

home schooling is fun!!!!! Kathie

I am thinking about homeschooling my fifteen year old granddaughter, somehow she is smart but apparently she is bored in school. So guess what she is doing, looking pretty and running the hallways.

I love this website. It's helped me so much with homeschooling my daughter!

i really need free kindergaraden worksheets immidently................

i love homework it is the best because it gives me something to do and it is fun!

I worry about these homeschooled children. How good is their education when their parents are such poor spellers and write grammatically incorrect postings? I believe that children can learn a lot from their parents, but the highly educated teachers certainly should not be put down.

This must be your first year. It's mine also. I suggest getting involved in a support group so that they can give you some encouragement and advise. Please know that the 1st year is always the toughest. My son is 91/2 going on 14, so I hear you with your concerns. Maybe you need a fresh start and have a meeting with him that involves HIM making some rules. That way there is ownership. Also, when I had hard days with my son I would lay down the law (using some discernment of course) because some days they are just not having a great day, remember when you used to work, you didn't always want to work. Some might argue with me and say, "you're not teaching them good work ethics". I say that they are still children and these spats with your child is just another opportunity to get to know them and talk to them, maybe there is something else. Oh! about your curriculum, the first half year is review and later the new stuff starts getting added and the same for next. Don't worry so much because the beautiful thing about homeschooling is that you have more time to cover more, and you can modify things to make it fun and interesting just for him.

Wow, I'll be praying for you!

For bearly making it: There are many FREE SITES and the LIBRARY is a great resource.( I know this for a fact). Key in "FREE HOMESCHOOLING". Hope this helps:)

for confused: FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND NEVER BE DISCOURAGE:). Homeschooling will free up some money to enjoy your children and enjoy God, your other half :) , and children. WHATEVER YOUR CHOICE REMEMBER GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS.

This is for the young teen who's trying to convice their parent to home school: 1) PRAY ABOUT IT - 2) DO YOUR HOMEWORK .... GET ALL THE INFO YOU CAN ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING- 3) MY TEENS DO INDEPENDENT STUDIES ,THIS IS AN OPTION YOUR PARENTS MIGHT CONSIDER. 4) THERE ARE ONLINE AND OFFLINE HOMESCHOOLING. There are so many out there, have your parent(s) check them out with you. THEN THIS MIGHT HELP THEM SEE HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS FOR YOU. GOD BLESS and DON'T EVER BE DISCOURAGE:O)

I have a six year old who is having a terrible time in public school with his behavior and I feel that my only option is to homeschool him. I just don't know if I can. He is very stubborn and I really don't know if he will listen to me. If anyone has suggestions, please comment.

What about the family who is barely making it financially and desires to home school their children. What are our options?

Anyone who is thinking about homeschooling DO YOUR HOMEWORK go on the homeschooling sites they're great! They have new to homeschooling information that are helpful. Even your local library has some great resources. Find out your state requirements. there are 3 ways to homeschool, 1st thru the school, 2nd Religious exemption status, 3rd a tutor who is a certified teacher. PICK WHAT WORKS FOR YOU AND FAMILY.

HOMESCHOOLING IS THE BEST THING MY HUSBAND AND I EVER DID FOR OUR CHILDREN:).Before homeschooling, our 14 &15 yrs old sons fought each other everyday like they were in a boxing ring. They would come home with terrible stomach and headaches, and was angry all the time. We started homeschooling our children when the boys asked to be homeschooled. They were tired of not being able to say "GOD IS GOOD" WITHOUT BEING SENT TO THE OFFICE.The other reasons were gangs,drugs, and the amoral behaviors of their peers.(one of my friend's son got suspend for saying GOD) (I have another friend whos' 6 yr old son got suspend for wearing a cross his dad made him). WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR LOVING GOD THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM OUT THERE. I thank GOD everyday for giving me the power and williness to teach his gifts (our children). Its not easy, but OUR CHILDREN DON'T FIGHT LIKE STRANGERS ANYMORE! They've matured this year and learn to love each other and that 's worth more than gold. HOMESCHOOLING IS A LEARNING PROCESS THAT YOU DO TOGETHER! GOD BLESS AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!!

As far as wondering how to pull your children away from their friends iin school, remember you are the parent. We make the decisions for our children and they need to understand that you want whats best for them. I pulled my children this year and am homeschooling through OHDELA. It's been a big change, but a really good one. I no longer have to worry about what is being put into their heads or said about them at school. My 8 year old son wrote a paper at the begining of the year and wrote that he liked being homeschooled because he no longer had to be picked on. If that wasn't validation enough for my decision, I don't know what would be. Good luck,

i need information on home schooling my sixteen year old grandson
