Quote From: jaimie1974This question is for parents who home school their children-
1) What are your reasons for deciding to home school? Did you always know you would home school, or were there other circumstances?
2) How do you keep your children in the loop? with their friends?
3) Do your children have to fulfill a requirement for physical education? For example, in public school children have gym class. If they are home schooled, do they have to go to the YMCA or some other organized physical activity?
1. My kids have been in regular school their whole lives since kindergarten(they didn't go to pre-k) but they've always wanted to be homeschool everyday because they say school is a waste of time, the just sit there in class for seven hours.My kids never had a problem with school except the fact that they are very opinionated if you know what I mean,also my son doesn't do his work or pay attention in class. I waited till they were both in High school so my daughter was in 9th grade and my daughter was in 11th. I told my daughter to look for internet homeschools one day towards the end of summer and she found a great government funded program(totally free) that goes by state standards called Connections Academy. They've been enrolled for 2 months now and they love it. I don't have too worry if they understand everthing because they have awesome interactive instructional guides, plus the lessons are quick and easy.Plus it's mostly internet based (they send you whatever text books you need).
2.My kids made plenty of friends during public school so they visit each other and e-mail and call there friends whenever they want.
3.My kids have to do 20 minutes of physical activity everyday but they can't just take a walk so they usually ride their bikes or since we have a membership at a gym we usually go to a gym.
I love homeschool and so do they!!!!!!!!
