How many US children are homeschooled?
That depends on what you mean - how many homeschooled children complete public/private high school, or how many complete homeschool high school? You can get a lot of answers to homeschooling questions at http://www.unschooling.com and http://www.homeedmag.com . To answer your question directly, just about every homeschooled child completes some form of high school or equivalent, and most go on to higher education. But a classroom is not the only place to learn.
How do you start a debate club for homeschool?
First do some research and try to find out if there is a debate league near by you. Then try and see if you can gather up some kids who would like to join. Then talk to a teacher at you school who is involved, and likes kids to try and help you. It's important to get some information first before you ask an adult though, because if you don't they'll probably just ignore you.

How do i begin homeschooling my child?
Once you've gone through all the requirements of homeschooling him. The next step would be to find a suitable and trustworthy instructor. I got online tuition for my daughter from a very reliable site and that too I had gotten to know about from a friend who had her children join that. My Tutor Source was the website. For me it was pretty cheap and trustworthy. Do give them a try, register on their website and they'll get back to you. Hope this further helps. :)
I suggest that you allow your child to finish this year of school and then go and speak to members of the school board in your area. Ask them if your child is a strong enough student to be homeschooled, and be sure that your child is alright with the fact that they are going to be homeschooled.
Try searching google or any other sites that are known to have a good search system for lesson plans.
When I homeschooled my children, all that the school system required was a letter of intent from the custodial parent. The laws varied considerably from state to state however, so I would check on-line to see what laws are applicable in your state.
While checking with the school board is certainly something to consider, I have never found the school system to be especially supportive of those who choose to home school. Don't forget that a school does receive a certain 'stipend' for each child who attends school. Also keep in mind that, should you choose to educate your child at home, the facilities of the public school are available to you and your child can participate in extra-curricular activites such as basketball, baseball, etc. The resources of the school library should be made accessible for you and your child as well. In some cases, even the textbooks must be provided for you if you choose to teach from home. This information is rarely volunteered by the school system, however, and requires some persistance. Good luck with whatever you decide....as long as you have your child's best interest at heart, you can't go wrong no matter which avenue you choose.
you can use an online charter school or do it yourself .
Legal Issues and Information
There are families happily homeschooling all over the country, but homeschooling law varies from state to state. It is important for new home schooled to spend some time familiarizing themselves with the law in their state. Home schooled regulation is a result of compulsory school attendance laws, and each state's regulations are unique to that state. The best source of information will probably come from experienced home school in your state, but don't just do something because others, including school officials, tell you that it is "required." Experience shows us that often school officials seek to require more than is legally necessary or permissible.
Visit NHEN's page on State Homeschool Laws and Regulations You will find a short summary of each state's regulations, links to fuller information about the regulations, as well as links to state-wide organizations that can give you more information about how the regulations work in practice. It's also important to check with local support groups to find out how experienced homeschoolers have dealt with the regulations. NHEN's list of support groups
It depends on the kind of home schooling you want Homeschooling computer programs You can do a search on - line for that subject - computer homeschooling, distance learning, etc. - and then contact the individual places, or for more information before you do that, go to their Web Sites. You can also look on individual states' government Web Sites, in the areas that pertain to education, as many states have a Virtual High School that students can access that cover that particular state's required cirriculum. - it's easy to find info on this subject.
Home schooling is still regulated by the Department of Education in your state. Contact them probably found in your local phone book or call a public school administration office and they will be able to direct you. I hear its a wonderful experience.
Tominesha, in Nevada a parent fills out an exemption letter (no cost), then submits a lesson plan with a signature from a consultant, a person who has been homeschooling for a minimum of three years (no cost, a local support group can help you find one, don't pay for it!). For our kids it costs about $100-150 per year, but it decreases because the next kid uses the book, we just purchase a new test booklet if we needed it. Some packaged curriculums (like A Beka) cost about $400 per year per student, and a full video series can cost up to $900 per year per student. Use the library, buy used books, go to curriculum fairs, this will help the cost low.
In Alaska, you can just do it. There are no requirements. Every state is different, of course, and most are a good deal worse than Alaska.
As for cost, you can spend as much or as little as you like. I'd suggest that you borrow the books ``The Well Trained Mind'' and ``Teaching the Trivium'' from the library. They will give you some ideas about how to educate your children (and how not to) in a very low-cost manner.
If you're willing to spend a lot of time at the library and to scrounge pencils and scratch paper, you could probably do it free. On my personal web page, I have some instructions for making phonics flash cards, which might help you save a few bucks. Don't forget to search the garage sales, too!
Another answer's suggestion of a few hundred per student per year is probably realistic, if you have it to spend. As the children get older, the younger ones may be able to use hand-me-down books, but the older ones will need more materials and more expensive materials, so the expenditure may not fall off much after the first year.
Don't think that teaching your kids depends on spending money. It depends on getting them to read, and to think, and to write, and to talk. None of that requires anything but your time (and maybe a library card).
I don't know for sure, but I will be completely stunnedif there are. You are asking if there are people willing to take full responsibility for your child's education, in your home, with no compensation. Who would fund such work? You won't get money from the taxpayers for this. Usually it is a parent who is able and willing to take this on and see it through. Maybe (and I mean maybe) you can find a grant that someone is offering for this, but I wouldn't hold out much hope. HOMESCHOOLING FOR HOMESCHOOLING TO be successful, I think some basic factors have to be in place. First off, I would say the parents have to committed, and be able to have a structured, consistent, disciplined approach. They have to be self-disciplined and highly motivated. The children ALSO have to be self-disciplined and motivated. Both have to be organized also; much like a classroom. Parents have to have a planned agenda, and the kids have to be willing and able to follow the agenda. ORGANIZATION is a big part of it. If the parents and children are disorganized, I don't think it will work for the betterment of the children (students). Also, the parents need to have the knowledge of the material they are presenting. Homeschooling can work wonderfully if the above criteria are met. Other posters may have more ideas, and I'd like to see some. <<>>
The above answer is a VERY good overall of what a parent - and child - need for homeschooling. However, I looked at the question from a scholastic requirement standpoint, and to that, I would just say to check with what your state's requirements are, since each varies. Contact your Department of Education (by e - mail or phone), and also, check with your county's school district or if you are in a larger urban area, your city's, and they should be able to give you some guidelines for requirements, according to your child's age and their state requirements. Obviously, some areas are not as cooperative when it comes to home - schooling, so, your best bet - which is what I did - is go on the Internet and research research research! There is a veritable trove of information on this, you should be able to get most of your questions answered that way.

Is there a homeschooling test that allows you to pass seventh grade?
I am a teacher and the reason I do ok helping my students who are taking high school biology is because I collaborate in the classroom with the science teacher who refreshes my memory of what I was taught plus teaching me the new information.
It really depends upon if you have had a reason to be caught up on that material and how well you remember the past information.
jk i lied this a lie from the pitt of hell
What supplies are needed for homeschooling seventh graders?
Pencils, erasers, pens, one math reference book, one math question book, history books about American history(or werever you live), one writing book, one book to read and write about in English(like a story book), science books, and a science note book. These are supplies for them then for you, you need an answer book for each book. The best bet is to leave them entertained. Like with a recess and make teaching fun with parter work. Also keep everything updated. Such as like new work math work sheets every day and new science experiments every other day. Hoped that helped!!

Is home schooling effective learning?
I have two Master's Degrees, a California Clear Teaching Credential, and a National Teaching Credential. I've been a classroom teacher for over twenty years in the public schools. I firmly believe that a dedicated parent of at least average intelligence can do a better job educating their own children than sending them to public school.
The reason is we teachers spend a great deal of our time just on discipline. In a classroom setting it is very difficult for young children to stay focused on the lesson concept. Add to that sick days and distracting assemblies, announcements, and other interruptions and it is easy to waste about one-half of the instructional time on non-instruction. It can be an emotional disaster if your child gets a unqualified or uncaring teacher.
Parents know their children better than even the most caring and dedicated teachers could ever hope. Plus, if your child is sick the day doesn't have to be a total waste since parents can direct children in educational opportunities at home.
The downfall of nearly every home schooled child that I am aware of is m
ost parents do not have the dedication and stamina to teach their child six hours a day, 180 days a year. Most start out well, but get distracted by life and gradually the children receive less and less schooling until the whole endeavor becomes a joke.
Parents who try to home school their own children much past the fourth or fifth grade may need extensive training as the curricula becomes more complicated - especially the math! There may be some benefit for your child to hear different points of view from the many different teachers over the years. Plus, you may not want your child to miss out on the lessons learned from the social interactions with his/her peers. Remember we don't live and work in a vacuum as adults. Your child will need to know how to get along with others - even those who are hard to get along with.
If you intend to home school your child in California then you are required by the state to have a teaching credential. Other states may not have this rule. Most districts will provide books, testing, and guidance if you home school. Your taxes pay for it anyway - you might as well take advantage of it.
When was the paper shredder invented?
The paper shredder was not initially invented by a company but by a person. The
The first machine-run shredder began in Germany in 1935. Using kitchen tools as his inspiration, Adolf Ehinger created a device that would make disposed paper unreadable. Adolf printed anti-Nazi material. When he was confronted about some literature in his garbage can, he decided he needed to do something to eliminate sensitive material.
Thanks to the Cold War, his device grew in popularity during the 1950s. In 1959, his company (EBA Maschinenfabrik) created the first cross cut shredder. Cross cut shredders take paper and not only cut it into strips, but cuts it in multiple directions to create confetti. Krug & Priester purchased the company in 1998.
Intimus and Fellowes have both been around for some time. The Nixon re-election committee used a Fellowes paper shredder during Watergate. Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North used an Intimus 007-S shredder to shred documents during the Iran-Contra scandal.
Do you have to pay for online homeschooling?
Many are free and some charge tuition. It depends on where you live as to what is available to you. Many online charter schools are popping up all over. Many of them are now using k12 products. k12 schools are good for many reasons. Each student is given a placement test and then given individualized curriculum based on his or her individual needs. With the help of online charter schools today, homeschooling can be much easier than it used to be. They provide you with everything you need, a computer, a printer, books, supplies, and teachers that you can both email and call for help and assistance. This is free and there are no charges. Online schools are definitely becoming a way of the future for the children in generations to come.

Measuring with metric units of mass examples.?
Volume but check with your Math teacher or a friend that's okay at maths. Also go onto a maths set they normally have the metric? imperial things on. Hope it helpies!
The metric (MKS system = metre-kilogram-second) unit of mass is the Kilogram. Older users might say the gram. That's "cgs" units (centimetre-gram-second).
What is the opposite of shepherd?
The opposite gender (not often used) is shepherdess (female shepherd).
The opposite of the verb to shepherd could be to desert or to neglect.
Metaphorically, the opposite of "shepherd" would be "sheep". This compares a person who acts like a leader to a person who acts like a follower. The word "sheep" sometimes implies that a person follows others because he/she does not have the judgment to make a decision by him/herself.
What is the snake charmer made out of?
a person who knows the teqniuqes of how to deal with a snake in a smart loving and caring way
How would you establish good homeschool collaboration?
To establish good home-school collaboration, you need to listen to each others ideas and opinions and don't argue over leadership. Also, to work and communicate together to get different views.
Hope this helped
