Learning to Surf The Board |
My son has an anxiety/panic disorder so homeschooling was the answer.
You can take correspondence courses. He was able to pick what he wanted and at first they suggest doing only one so your child isn't overwhelmed. There is also virtual highschool. Where we live courses my son needed weren't offered by our local school board but they have an agreement with other school boards. Unfortunately, we had the internet but lost it due to problems with our provider so he hasn't started that but for him this (home schooling) has been a blessing. We now have internet back so hopefully he will begin virtual high school in January. There are also virtual high schools that are private but you pay for. This wasn't an option for this single divorced mom. It may be an option though for someone else. Some I looked into seemed to be excellent. He was in an alternative program but it became too popular and because of the ratio of students it no longer suited my son's needs. We decided and fought for him to home-school for over two years. He is a great kid. You can socialize with family, friends and while doing other activities. He is quite capable young man and this works for our family. I feel strongly that a parent who chooses to home-school should be commended. Every child has their own learning style and if we take the time to find out what their learning style is we can make it a positive experience. All of us just needs to do what works for our individual family. We are loving it. |

"Board Blazen Parent" Board Beacon Parent |
I have always thought that home shcooling is probably best. I've read reports where home schooled children come out way above their peers on tests.
I dont know if I'd have the stamina to do it, and I know I cant work and do it at the same time. I just have a question about it. My worst subject was math. How would I, if I did home school, teach this subject? How could I correct answers that I'm not so sure of myself? Do they have other parents who are stronger in a subject, and you can get help from them? Just curious. |

Getting My Feet (Board) Wet |
I just started homeschooling my 13yr. old son, and i have my 4 year old so homeschooling him to. Some days it is challenging as i also have a 10 month old girl, so i have to keep schedule. but I will admit that I do enjoy it and I love spending time with my children and seeing them progress.
I know I definitely need support, cuz it can be hard homeschooling, and operating businesses from home.. whew! Look to hear from me somebody.. |
