Home Schooling?
Q. My daughter is planning on Home Schooling her daughter. Does anybody know of any good websites that would help her to plan the curriculum and ones that have work pages that she can print. My grand-daughter is 4 years old right now and is already doing and enjoying Kindergarten work.

A. (it says theey exceeded their bamdwidth so try later) It worked when I first clicked on it. There is also a wonderful booklet from The Natural child project (above) on homeschooling. Definantly have her explore Homeschool groups(usually through Yahoo groups or the like) in her area. They do field trips and have play groups so the kids can still get the benefit of friendships. Also check the YMCA's for Homeshool hours at the gymnasiums. They have P.E. time only for homeschoolers at the rec center where I am from. Best of luck to you and her!!

How do I start home-schooling in high school?
Q. Is it possible to start home-schooling now, when I am in high school? If so, how can I learn more about it? And also, does being home-schooled hinder my chances of being accepted to a good university?

A. You can definitely start homeschooling in high school, many kids do. There is a great book on the subject, Homeschooling the Teen Years by Cafi Cohen.

A. Homeschooling CAN give better opportunities, but like anything offered, whether it will help you or not will depend on if you take advantage of it. I've met homeschooled kids who might truly be better off in public school (of course, I've also met public schooled kids who would probably be better off homeschooling); I've met tons of homeschooled kids who are thriving in homeschooling. A definite advantage is the flexible scheduling, not only for academics, but just daily life. I've met homeschooled teens who were able to work part-time during the day while everybody else was at school. I've met teens who were able to spend hours on a daily basis pursuing passions, which are likely to become part of their future careers. To go further… [cont.]

How does home schooling work?

The youngest is three years old and has just started preschool, so I don't think that I want to remove her from a school setting just yet. The other girls are nine and seven.

A. I agree with the others who say you need to look up your state's laws first. That will definitely be a consideration. I suggest reading "So You're Thinking About Homeschooling" by Lisa Whelchel. It gives a fun and brief overview of different home schooling methods. Many people would also recommend assessing your daughter's learning style. Put these elements together to find the teaching method or methods that work for you and your girls. It probably couldn't hurt to leave your youngest in preschool a few days a week while the older ones get settled in a bit. I would bring her home by kindergarten, though. Also, many kids who have been to school need a few months to decompress, but they may be able to do that over the summer.

What's the rational of home-schooling a kid?
Q. I'm trying to understand why people home-school their kids here. For a start, the kid is home and thus missing out on making friends and also becoming socially stunted by missing out on interacting with his/her peers. The facilities at home will never be the same as at a school in terms of books or sports teams. In school you have a teacher who has trained to teach, something you rarely have in home-schooling. It seems that home-schooling your kids disadvantages them on all fronts, so I'm interested to know why people home-school their kids.

Are they seriously trying to ban Home schooling in California?
Q. Thank god i live in Texas I'm never going back to that High School i came from never. I love home schooling i get to stay home and go out while my friends are at school. And plus I'm graduating High School and going to the Marines in December.

A. Nope, they're not. An Appeals Court judge made a bad ruling based on a poor interpretation of current law, which says that homeschooled students EITHER have to be taught by a licensed teacher, OR register as a private school. (Juno, your Civics teacher needs to pay more attention, I think. You may want to actually research it for yourself.) This is not a new law, it's been in place since the 50's. The governor and the state superintendent have both vowed that this ruling will not stand, and legal groups in CA and nationwide are already fighting it. Homeschooling is alive and well in CA.

A. You'll find the actual laws here: From the legal analysis: 1. These home school regulations require parents to do the following: a. submit a notice of intent to home school to the district superintendent by July 1 (the beginning of the school year) annually, or within fourteen days of starting home schooling during the middle of a school year. b. subsequently, fill out an Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP) form by August 15th or within four weeks of the receipt of the IHIP form from the school district (whichever is later), containing (1) the child s name, age, and grade level; (2) a list of the syllabi, curriculum materials, textbooks, or a plan of instruction; (3) dates for submission of quarterly reports; and (d) name of… [cont.]

why is home schooling better for disabled persons?

A. Please do not use the word "retarded". It is offensive. It's better to use the term "developmentally disabled" or "developmentally delayed". What exactly is your position in this situation? Parent? Family member? A student doing a project??? If the child (you said "person") is currently in public schooling on an IEP, then you will have to see what the public school requires to change the LRE (least restrictive environment) to homeschooling. It may, or may not, be possible to continue any therapy services with the school district. If the child cannot continue therapy services, then they will have to receive them privately, through insurance, which can get *quite* expensive. It costs a LOT of money to have the adaptive equipment,… [cont.]

Are they really going to stop home schooling in California?
Q. I lived in Los Angeles for over 25 years. I home schooled my children there. 10 years ago, my kids grown and on their own, I moved to Illinois. But, still have family on CA. My sister home schools her children as well. But, now it's going to be illegal to do that? Why is California interfering with the rights of parents? Why should kids g to a public school where they don't even teach in English? Private schools cost too much, so home schooling works out best.

A. California is doing this because it is stylish and "In" and a lot of pressure groups do not like the facts that the kids learn better, and that they also often learn much better ethical standards, as opposed to the "anything goes as long as it is morally or ethically bad" philosophies of most of the government-run public schools. They do not want to think people are not rubber stamps, but are good in various things, and that children learn better from teachers than babysitters whose hands are tied on discipline. And home schools are opposed by those who want a politically-correct child rather than a moral and honest child as the result of education.

How long can you be signed out of school before enrolling into a home schooling system?
Q. I am supposed to be getting the papers to sign up for home schooling in the mail some time soon but school starts back in a week and I do not know what to do because i really do not want to go back to school :(

A. I stopped showing up at my public high school for three or so weeks and enrolled in a home education program before I officially unenrolled. They were calling my house every day informing my parents that I was not there.. which they knew, obviously.. but never made a fuss about it. You can unenroll before you enroll in a home education program but the public school will make you feel like you're doing something wrong and try to convince you to stay in their school. Don't let your parents give in to what they're saying. The only reason they want you there is because they lose money every student that leaves they're school.

A. Yes, I would and do support it. It would be silly for me *not* support it since I homeschool all three of them! Homeschooled students statistically receive a far superior education. There are also personal reasons, such as my own awful experience in the Public School system. Unlike a previous poster implied, homeschooled students do not have to miss out on social growth. They are learning at home, not being locked in a closet! Here are some studies which show how well homeschoolers do academically and socially:
