Homeschooling High School: Should my child ... - Home High School

A 9th grader *can* take the PSAT, but I almost never recommend it.

The PSAT can be taken at a local public or private high school. The PSAT is a VERY cheap test, and if testing is required by state law, it can usually meet that requirement.  However, the PSAT does have Geometry and Algebra 2.  It can be very discouraging for a kid to take a test and not have any chance of getting a good score.  As homeschoolers, we try to encourage our children to do their best, and may want them to get 90%...

Home Schooling vs Public School

I love home schooling and personally I never imagined I would be doing this. I turned to this after my son went to Kindergarten in a Public School. I volunteered several days a week and witnessed myself of why education is not what it should be in the Public School System. Everyday each child in the class was lucky to get 5 minutes maximum of one on one time with the teacher! Because Home Schooling was all new to me I decided to do an Online Public School through Arizona Connections Academy...

Ohio Homeschooling

Ohio Homeschooling

We live in Ohio, so Ohio homeschooling is very familiar to us. Here is an article that I found that describes what you need to do if you live in Ohio. My comments are at the bottom of the page.Ohio homeschooling is governed by Ohio Administrative Code, Chapter 3301.34. These regulations are promulgated by the Ohio State Board of Education. One of the key provisions which might cause parents concern is Chapter 3301-24-04, Academic Assessment which provides: Notification to the...

..{Princess Warrior Lessons}..: Counting my gifts of homeschooling

The Boy Warriors designed their own board game in their "free time"

I never intended to homeschool. In fact, I planned all my children to be born before June 30 (In Queensland, your child has to be 5 or turning 5 before June 30 to be able to go to school that year.) That way they wouldn't be home any longer than they needed be.

I have fought God against homeschooling over the last few years. I have wrestled with God saying, "Are you sure you want ME to do this?" I have quit homeschool several...

Homeschooling recommendations for slight learning disabilities.

I am seriously considering homeschooling my 7 year old daughter. I have long had interest in homeschooling and have researched it for years but due to my own health problems, I took the easy way out. Now, my daughter is paying the price. The teachers at her school are kind and attentive but the curriculum chosen for the school is so ridiculous that even the teachers can't stand it. The children are all struggling with it and my...

How do I register my child to homeschool in Miami-Dade county?

I’ll bet lots of parents have this question, however the Miami-Dade county website provides incorrect and misleading information.

Just as FL State statute 1002.41 states, the parent must notify the county in writing that they are going to begin a home education program with their child.

The letter must contain the following:

the date you plan to begin, or have begun, homeschooling your child

So, what is on the Miami-Dade website that is confusing and incorrect?

Miami-Dade County Public...

Cultivating Home: Not back to School part 1

We receive a lot of questions about home education in emails, from strangers out in public, and friends at church. Every home educating family is different, but here is how homeschool *goodness* works for us.

First, we've had to unlearn the public and private school standard ways of operation. There is a reason, besides crammed classrooms, that students aren't learning in America. Two great books on the topic of teaching and learning are A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver Demille and Every...
