not sure about homeschooling
Quote From: roxsndluv2I am not homeschooling my children this year, but I did try it when my children were younger.I don't know what state you are in, but this state has a charter video program. They also aid with getting a computer to use as an aid in teaching your child. Contact your local homeschooling group. Usually your school administration building will have a contact name. Are you using the books from the school? Or are you usung your own materials. Is it possible for your to speak to your child's last teacher to ask how she did in a particular subject? What was that teacher's particular teaching style? Some use the book, some use their own material. It is possible that maybe the material you are trying to teach her was taught differently, which could mean you might have to teach her from scratch.
Take care. Hey i have some questions about homeschooling. I read your message that you have homeschooled in the past and i just have some concerns. Maybe you can give me some insight. I'm just not sure about homeschooling. It seems so many people are turning to that these days. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 girls. They are 2 1/2 and 12months. I see the reasons that moms stay at home with their preschoolers but I'm just not seeing the advantages to home schooling. I know all of the reasons that they get one on one attention and all of that. But we send our teachers to college for a reason. To teach and I am not a teacher. I want my kids to have the best education. I just dont see how someone without a teaching degree can provide that. Also i want to provide my kids with life experience and i dont see how homeschooling is doing that. I dont mean to sound critical, i'm just wondering why so many people are going to this. please give some insight into your reasons. I have a new friend that chooses to homeschool their kids and they don't seem to be open to discussing this. Thanks for your help
