Joey Mekeel: Have you tried speaking with Student Services at your school? They should have information for charter schools (online schools) offered in your area. I know some high schools like my daughters, offer a significant amount of online courses now.
Venetta Coulbourne: How to begin home-schooling varies in each state and in each country. Where I live, for example, your parent simply needs to send a note to the school superintendent stating that you are now going to be home-schooled. You can be out of school immediately. Then, in most places, your parents need to come up with a plan of study. This does not have to be a web site. It can be a whole combination of things, costing thousands of dollars, hundreds of dollars, or nothing...It all depends on what you want and what you can afford. As long as you are learning a year's worth of knowledge in a year's worth of time, you're fine. So, for example, you might choose to learn science by watching science! TV shows and then following up with your own research and experiments. For social studies you could choose to study any culture, place, person, or time period you like, and do it with books, videos, internet, or personal travel experience. For math you know what you already know, so you start from there and just gradually learn the next step and then the next step. This could be from your parent, an older sibling or student, a course on a computer disc, a text book. For English you can read and write about anything you want, with occasional guidance from anyone who knows more than you. For music and art you can explore on your own, take lessons at a studio, read about their history, and/or simply appreciate them. For gym, you're active in whatever way you like.There are many complete academic programs offered on the web for home-schoolers. Most cost money, but you can ask local home-schoolers and look on line to see if there are any that are free. The first step is ! to get your parents' permission. The second step is for a par! ent to contact your local school district and find out what you need to do legally. Then, the important thing is to find the program or combination of learning programs that suits YOU. That is the beauty of home-schooling....Show more
Garry Ohmen: I homeschool all three of my kids. They've all been in public college and we pulled them out. Was the university just right enough? Sure the school was once nice. Nonetheless, we desired an extra way of life. I did not wish to be controlled with the aid of bells and grades. I failed to need to need to have my kids at an college every day by way of eight:30 and not see them again till three:30. The important factor lecturers study in institution is crowd control and learn how to control 25 kids at a time. They do not be taught all of the information that they are expected to coach. Do you truthfully think that teachers go to school and be trained the entire curriculum from okay-12 so that they comprehend it all? LOL When my ! buddy, who's a teacher, used to be going train grade 1 for the primary time she used to be told that the university used phonics handiest. She had certainly not realized phonics. She discovered to learn by way of whole reading. So, she realized phonics as she taught the kids. That is how some mum and dad do it as good. Not to point out there are many, many curriculums in the market that educate the youngsters and mothers and fathers together. Which you could be trained right alongside with your youngster. Primarily with the age of internet. Everything you ought to know is on here. The social development myth is solely that, a fable. My youngsters do not lack social expertise in any way form or kind. Some of the things they have been involved with so far this 12 months are golf lessons fencing lessons swimming lessons h/s band film school extras in a movie gymnasium category dance classification we will be happening a quantity of subject trips within the subsequent couple mo! nths and i'm certain there will probably be many more to come back. We ! social gathering with a huge variety of homeschoolers within the field and no we do not "prefer" which kids we meet. There are children from each stroll of lifestyles, all ages crew, etc that come on these trips. We simply join in and have fun. School = schooling schooling = finding out proper? So, if that is the case why is every body so hung up on "socialization" anyway? The point of an education is to study and at house we can select the curriculum that works with our baby as an alternative then looking to make our kids study from a textbook that does not work with them. I take advantage of an eclectic method and all my kids use distinct programs to gain knowledge of. I exploit what works with them. As they get older there are increasingly things ie: science that they don't really get a choice on and they learn to learn in new approaches and in approaches that do not perpetually suit them the satisfactory. Nevertheless, normally you just have to do what's vital to get th! e job done. My youngsters are in grades 9, 6 and 4....Show more
Foster Koopmann: There's no such thing. If you find an online schooling option that's "tuition-free," it means it's funded through taxes, which also means that the school district you know and love (ha ha) is in charge of it. So you'll be susceptible to all their little rules and regulations and whatever blowback they want to give you. You go outside the public school system and enroll, but that means paying for it yourself...sometimes in excess of $7,000 a year. Most homeschoolers bow out of the whole nasty mess and opt for traditional homeschooling, which means first knowing what your local state laws are on homeschooling, and then crafting their own programs to fit in those laws.
