Best Answer

There are several different materials and resources you can use depending on your personal educational philosophy. One option is to use curriculum published specifically for homeschooling families. Another option would be to contact your local school district and ask them about their homeschooling policy. Many school districts will lend homeschooling families their curricula and textbooks, as may offer access to extracurricular activities or school libraries. In addition, the public library and the internet are also wonderful resources for homeschooling families. The Internet contains an endless amount of websites specifically geared towards homeschooling and your particular needs.

It is the best way to learn. You will be taught at your own pace.

What are some reasons for homeschooling?

One of the best things about homeschooling is the fact that students get to learn at a pace that fits their learning style. Parents become facilitators of learning as opposed to an autocratic instructor. It's a flexible and adaptable system that allows for each student to be fostered and encouraged. It can be perfect for struggling learners or very gifted children. See sources and related links, further down this page, if you are interested in homeschooling or want to know more about it.


How do children feel about being homeschooled?

If you were to ask my 4 children, they would respond that they would not have it any other way! At the beginning of every school year, I always asked if they wanted to continue homeschooling or be public schooled. They always wanted to continue homeschooling. We have been at it for over 20 years, if you count their toddler years...and you should! Feel free to ask them yourself on the website: http://www.homeschool-rewards.com And know that they will get back to you! Blessings

Where can I find different home schooling methods?

I receive many inquiries asking where to sign up for homeschools. Many people, as a last hope for their children, try to find a homeschool to send them to. The problem is that homeschooling is done by the parent at home. Although I believe it is important to protect homeschooling as we know it by keeping homeschools independent of the public school system.

What is the cheapest homeschooling?

The Library + Internet!!! Your local librarian is a resource most moms don't think about! If you are studying a specific subject - he/she is the best resource for books to use in your lesson planning. If that is too broad for you - check out the library catalog for homeschooling resources. Mary Pride is a good place to start. Her homeschool resource books are huge - but full of useful information. She tells you all you need to know about curriculum, resources, and much more! Answer Public school is free. A child's education is extremely important.

Hazards of being a homeschool teacher?

I haven't taught myself, but being homeschooled my whole life I can give you the student's perspective. A lot of the hazards would be similar to those of a regular teacher, the main issue is to get your studets respect and maintain it. You will probably also find it hard to get really good resources, and to keep the students on-track with their learning. The best way to teach them would be to find a good, structured curriculum with all the basics, and obtain extra resources and materials as you need them. Depending wether you are homeschooling your own children or travelling around to remote locations other hazards would vary, but you just have to know and understand children (and hopefully like them!!), and to also find yourself a really sound curriculum, but be prepared to explore alternative ways of learning and approach each child as an individual with different interests.
