I need General information on home schooling?

Here are some sites with information that may help you.  I don't know where you are on the planet, but each of the 50 states has it's own rules and regulations regarding filing of lesson plans, testing and evaluation, etc.\n\nNew York State is very strict and requires a great deal of documentation.  My friend is homeschooling in New Hampshire and has very little interaction with State education officials.\n\nThe first link has getting started information, the second has homeschooling curriculum information, third link is state related info, fourth bills itself as the #1 homeschooling site.  I hope you find this helpful.

I was home-schooled for two years when I was a kid. At that time, there was a company that actually sent you the books you needed based on your state's requirements. My mother never had to worry about keeping track of that.\n\nTry calling the superintendant's office of your local school district. They may have the name of that specific company (I, of course, do not remember - sorry).\n\nFor now, try this site. I found it through a search engine a second ago when I saw your question. It looks like a reputable, helpful site. http://www.homeschoolingbooks.com/

Try going to rainbowresource.com and looking for contact information. This is a family owned homeschool curriculum company and maybe they can help you get the list.

I went to homeschool.com\n\nThey have a getting started kit, that includes a book with guidelines for the laws in every state and information on the different options you have for homeschool education - working with a local school, interenet curriculums, unschooling, you name it. \n\nThere are lots of these types of organizations out there to help our growing population of homeschoolers.  In my state, California, they even have a California Home School Group\n(http://californiahomeschool.net/default.htm)  You might have something similar in your area.\n\nPeace!

If you want to connect with other home school families I have found the library is a great place to start. Talk to the librarians. Most of the time they will know of the home school families. They may have a contact name and/or number. If you are concerned about social skills get them involved in activities and church. \nIf you are looking for curriculum do a search and start researching what would be best for you children. Also try EBay to help with the budget.

As a home school Mom, I use the Internet to get alot of information. You can search by grade or subject. Use something like Google or just search- you can be very specific or very broad- you will find a ton of information out there. Many site offer free down-loadable pages- educational and for fun! Also many stores offer workbooks that could be used in teaching many different subjects.

Only you and your daughter can decide what homeschooling style is best for you. But, here are a few basics:\n1. www.hslda.org This website will provide you with all the legal information you will need.\n2. Google the phrase "learning syles homeschool" This will give you some ideas as to different ways different children learn best. Observe your child to determine their own learning style.\n3. Research! The internet is chock-full of information on homeschooling.\n4. Try to find a local homeschooling group. (Sometimes this can be accomplished by asking the local librarian or perhaps the school superintenant)\n\nGood luck. I want to congratulate you on your wonderful decision to homeschool your child. \n\nSheri

Homeschooling is the best.  Private school would be your next best choice if you can afford it.  There are many free resources for homeschooling. Try your local library for books about it and materials to use.  I would also recommend reading the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education" by Oliver DeMille.  You can buy it at gwc.edu in the bookstore section.  Believe me, it's worth the $15 or $20, even if you decide not to home school.

Type home schooling in the search box over on the side of the yahoo!Answers home page.  There are 25 answers there.\n\nI homeschooled my children, and now my grandchildren.  It requires a lot of time and effort, but the results lead to children who actually know how to take care of themselves.  Instead of learning how to say what the teacher wants, they learn how to think for themselves.\n\nGood Luck

I have homeschooled for years now.  I hear from my old fart neighbor "When are you going to let them go back to school?"  Ugh.  It never ends.  I just don't broadcast it to the locals because THEY choose to be close minded and to not educate themselves about hsing.  Consider this 'comeback' as it's my best one:  My son gets a one-on-one education.  It's better than a private tutor.  He is fully socialized as he can go to church, soccer, chess club, library groups, the local rec center programs, 4H and scouts."  Folks that flip out and bring up socialization usually just grab that word because everyone that knows little about it uses it.  Good luck and you can email me for any help you need.

You need to find out what your state requires.  About.com has good info on homeschooling and how to begin and the basics:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/od/gettingstarted/p/homeschool101.htm\n\nAnd a list of links to state requirements and laws regarding homeschooling:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/cs/gettingstarted/a/legalusa.htm\n\nThey also have many resources and unit studies.\n\nThere are many places online that have numerous resources from worksheets, to projects, to lesson plans and unit studies.\n\nLocally you might have a homeschool group which meets for playdates, or classes or activities.  Probably your local library will know of some contacts.\n\nGood Luck!

Check your state's department of education website.  Your state may have a "virtual School" in which you can take classes that will count toward graduation.  Check to make sure there are no special exceptions for home schoolers.
