Home schooling is *different* from institutional schooling and, like everything else, there is a wide range of variations in the quality of *both* kinds of education.\n\nJohn Taylor Gatto, New York's Teacher of the Year turned home schooling advocate, has written an extensive and illuminating history of institutional schooling's rise in the US.  It's available to read for free online, but I found a copy in my local library and was fascinated by the depth of it.  A real eye-opener.\n\nSome children are well-suited to institutional schooling (I know, I have one) and some are better suited to home schooling (I know, I have 2).  Likewise, some parents are far better suited to home schooling.\n\nFor parent/child combinations that enjoy home schooling, it works very well, resulting in the Spelling Bee wins and other academic successes you'll hear about wherever people are trying to "sell" folks on home schooling as a lifestyle choice.  For other families, home schooling is a disaster.  The very first article I ever read was written by an adult homeschooled as a child titled: "Why Not to Home School" (or something like that anyway).  The author was forced to stay home against his will and hated his "education".\n\nMany families homeschool for religious reasons, many to offer their children opportunities and freedom that public schools simply cannot provide and some because institutional schools have failed them and their children.  I don't think it's for everyone, but it's one of many options available to a free citizenry and I, for one, appreciate the ability to choose it if I care to.

In our county in Georgia, there are many home school "groups" organized between parents who home school their children.  There is one organized by Christian parents in our town, one in the county to the north.  My wife and I involve ourselves with the latter.  \n\nI know there are web sites to help you with this.  You may wish to get information on what standards are kept by the government and private schools, so that you can better gauge your children's progress.  We can ge this from our county board of education, from the state and federal departments of education.

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/

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.
