How do I deal with this?
-I'm being homeschooled this next school year due to stress issues, etc. I honestly cannot go back to school tomorrow. I know I'll want to go home, then what? I can't wait to be homeschool, and I cannot finish this year. Any tips/other possible solutions? thxI'm not sure why you have to wait until the next School year? Is it because you will be starting an online School programme?
With Home Schooling there is no School Year as such - you can start at any time of the year. You can choose your own hours days etc. There is not set days of the week or time of the year that you have to wait to start.
Even if you are starting an online programme in September, there is no reason why you can't leave School now and learn through your own resources until then.
There are many ways of Home Schooling, if you look at the Yahoo Answers category 'Education & Reference' and then 'Homeschooling' you will find similar posts there from others in your situation. Some of the alternatives people choose are online schooling such as http://www.firstcollege.co.uk/ who offer live virtual classes. Others such as Structured Home Learning offer curriculum packs for each School year
http://www.structuredhomelearning.com/. and http://www.oxfordhomeschooling.co.uk/
These aren't the only alternatives by any means, we've used text books, online resources and some tutor sharing at local home education groups without doing the above.
Some other home education sites are : http://www.education-otherwise.org/
http://home-ed.info/
http://www.thenuk.com/
Like anything else in life it's about choices and what suits you and your Parents. So you would need to look this through with them and see whether this is something that would suit you or not.
yep.

Distance education still going to give me a proper career?
-I don't feel safe at school anymore due to certain incidents that have happened in and out of school. I suffer from depression and anxiety and I am not sure what to do about school?
I am in all the top classes and school is just getting to the stage that I have to fake sick or 'miss the bus' to get out of it.
I want a good job and all but I just cant go to the school to get my education.
I want to do distance education but I am too scared to ask my parents because they will probably think that its not a proper education and that they don't want to leave me home alone to do it.
I really am too scared to go to school but I don't want to have no career.
Please help because I need help fast!Here is an extract from a previous post I answered on here:
My sons are home educated (but not with an Online School) . They love the freedom that Home Education has given them with free time to take on other hobbies and interests, time that they would not have had with School. For example my eldest son has started his own business and is able to devote a lot of time to getting that off the ground as well as his other learning. With concentrated learning (one to one) you need far less hours than you do within a School setting - I have heard as much as 5 times less.
Some online Schools in the UK are:
http://www.firstcollege.co.uk/
http://www.briteschool.co.uk/
http://www.interhigh.co.uk
There are also Companies providing curriculum packs for Year 8 and other school years if that is the way you want to go, (cheaper than Online Schools) have a look at this website here:
http://www.structuredhomelearning.com -Under the Secondary section you will find curriculum year packs for Years 7, 8 & 9..
One of my sons came out of School in Year 8 and the other in Year 5 and have really enjoyed learning at home, it's given them much more freedom and time to take on other interests as the amount of time they have needed to spend on their learning at home has been far less than at School. My son that came out in Year 8 went on to take all his GCSE's and A Levels at home. Your Parents don't need to be Teachers at all - (I'm not)
Other Home Education websites that might be of use are:
http://www.education-otherwise.org/
http://www.thenuk.com/
http://www.home-education.org.uk/
http://home-ed.info/
Apart from online Schools there are other ways to learn at home.A cheaper option than online schooling for years 8 & 9 could be the Structured Home Learning website
which has all the curriculum material for each School year.
I'm not sure how old you are, but if you are near the end of KS3, you may soon be able to go into KS4 (GCSEs). With GCSE's there are correspondence courses available through NEC, ICS and Oxford Home Learning. This courses have Tutors that mark your work as you go through the course.This way of learning didn't suit us, but it does suit some people. NEC and ICS courses can be bought with Tesco Club-card vouchers if you collect those at all.
Many Home Education groups have small learning groups where they share Tutors and the cost of this can be around 拢5 an hour. There are a number of these where I live and in most GCSE subjects and KS3 courses too. To find your local Home Education Group and see what they have to offer look here:
http://www.education-otherwise.org/local鈥?/a>
One of my sons at 13 was very self sufficient, and just wanted me to provide the books and resources for him to learn his work, my other son worked differently at the same age and wanted to work with me and have more of my input. Neither way of learning was right or wrong, just different according to their needs and you would need to look at this. If say your learning style is similar to my eldest son then maybe you won't need as much input from your Parents. Don't forget that even with being at School, your Parents are still having an input into your education, whether it be time helping with homework, attending Parents Meetings or funding you being at School, with travel costs, uniform, trips, resources etc, anyway.
Our learning has been relatively cheap, we use then internet a lot, there are some great websites available (google 'KS3 online' or KS3 resources') and a host of websites will come up in just about every subject. There are second hand text books available on Ebay and Amazon and we use the shared Tutors for a couple of subjects (not all). If you want to follow the National Curriculum or GCSE's this information can be downloaded online. The AQA website has a syllabus of all the subjects you need to learn for GCSE's ( so it is easy to buy the right books) and also past exam papers to practise with.
A great (But not free) resource for Maths is Conquermaths, where each maths lesson is broken down by a tutor in easy to explain steps. There is a discount for home educators.
The benefit of working from home is that you will not need as much time with your subjects as you do in School and many Home Educated children take their GCSE's early but take their subjects over 2/3 years. You will need to pay to take your GCSEs. - more here:
http://home-ed.info/gcse.htm
Also on that website you will also find on there other alternatives to GCSE's, and some other useful links.
School isn't for everyone and there are many children who find it difficult for all sorts of reasons so you are not alone by any means. Fortunately there are many other ways of getting an education, but you will need to sit down with your Parents and go through your options to get them on board.
Home Education is absolutely a proper education if that is what you want it to be. You can take any number of recognised qualifications such as GCSE's A Levels and Open University Courses too, even taking these early than you would at School.

Wanna try being homeschooled...(those who are, please read)?
-What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages?
How exactly does it work (books parent[s] have to teach from, weekly check up by the school or something?, etc)
Also is it possible to participate in Cheer if you're not actually in school?
Comments?Your parents will need to look into your state laws.
I don't really think of it as advantages or disadvantages-- one person's disadvantage is another person's advantage. But like any lifestyle you want to live, there is always so much you are willing to give up for it, often things you don't care much about anyway. HOmeschooling is very flexible, so basically if you see anything as a disadvantage you can change it.
How it works is, no you don't get check ups by a school because you are not in school. Your education is up to your family. You get the books you want, or just use the library and internet. Or join an online school. Or join a homeschool co-op part time. Or do independent studies... as I said, it is very flexible. You have to check with your state to see if you need to send in reports, or if you ever need to have tests done.
Cheering depends on where you live; some states allow you to particpate in school activities, some don't and some leave it up to the individual school. Then again, some places have these kinds of sports and activities outside schools in community centers or homeschool groups.I've been homeschooled fot two years, and its pretty cool. But definately don't do it if your the kind of person who procrastinates, or is lazy. Because this makes it REALLY hard since you don't have teachers and stuff constantly telling you what to do. Homeschooling does make you kinda lazy... and if your not the type of person to go to school evnts, then you most likely won't go to any field trips or parties that your homeschooling program is providing... so it'll make it hard to socialize and make new friends. Depending on which program you choose (I'm doing one called River Springs) you'll probably get different books, and different "check ups" by your learning coach (teacher they assign you) in River springs, you get to choose the curriculum you learn, and you meet with your teacher once every month to discuss your lesson plan. This is where you decide what you want to learn about, accomplish, and different assignments you want to do. You get to choose practically everything! Its a pretty cool homeschooling program, and most of the teachers are very nice. Check it out:)
Advantages:
Work at your own pace
Sleep in
You can have a parent drive you places like museums, co-ed
Spend more time with friends
Finish school faster
Disadvantages
You have to make yourself work
If your parents don't take you anywhere and you don't have a social life, thats horrible
I do online homeschooling, but it costs like 300 dollars a month. You dont have to check in with the school or anything. Your parents fax in your birth certificate, social security card, and etc. Then your all set. And your parents or no one has to be there. It also has an online tutor. The only disadvantages i can think of are not meeting new people. It gets pretty lonely.

Should you homeschool your child if they have four weeks of school left?
-It depends on why you want to pull them out of school, what grade your child is in, and what state you live in. Could you provide more information about your situation?
Carrie Jean Ross
Connections AcademyIt depends on why you want to pull them out of school, what grade your child is in, and what state you live in. Could you provide more information about your situation?
Carrie Jean Ross
Connections AcademyNo, let them finish school up. If you want to homeschool them wait til next school year,
you will never be approved, you have to send an application to the state, and turn in a syllabus

Home school to public school, what paperwork do parents fill out to get me back in school?
-It's not about the paperwork. First thing you have to do is go to the school you want to go to. Tell the office you want to enroll and they will help you get the appropriate paperwork to apply. They will usually take you on a tour of the school and introduce to the student who will show you around on the first day.It's not about the paperwork.

What country are people homeschooled?
-Hi, i live in London and i have never heard of people being homeschooled but then theres a section Home Schooling and loads of people write in it so i was wondering, in america do loads of people get homeschooled or what countries is it popular home schooling?Home Schooling (or Home Education as we call it in the UK) is gaining in popularity all the time. There are Home Education groups in just about every part of the Country, Yahoo Groups, Also google Then UK, HE-UK, Education Otherwise , Hesfes to name a few.
Home Education gives Parents another option apart from the usual State or Private School choices. People home educate their children for any number of reasons such as lifestyle choice, child not happy at School, or dissatisfaction with School system etc.
Home Schooling is very popular in America, and is also an option in many other Countries such as Australia and Canada too.There are very few countries in which home school is illegal. Germany and Sweden are 2 that come to mind immediately. I have seen quite a few post from people in the UK as well as some from Australia. In America it is estimated at over 2 million families but since laws differ from state to state it would be hard to get an exact number. Not all states require the parent send in any notice that they are home schooling.
You can get home schooled pretty much in any country...
Wow.
Loads of people in the UK are homeschooled. I'm startled you could live here and have never even heard of it.

Can anyone be my interviewee?
-1.Select an adult who is 30 years or older to interview. This person can be a parent, grandparent, neighbor, teacher, etc.
2.Ask your interviewee to identify three words or phrases used when he or she was your age and tell what those words or phrases meant.
3.Based in the meanings of these three examples above, identify current words or phrases used today that have the same meaning as those from 30+ years ago.
4.Write a brief reflection detailing what you learned from this interview on our evolving language and what things you feel might influence language to continually change.
I just need you to answer number 2. I'm doing this for an English assignment and it would really help if someone would be my interviewee :) Thanks!Neat: unusually interesting
Thongs: flat sandles with a plastic strap going over and between the toes (modern flip-flops)
Gay: happy and energetic

I am making A report On why Connections Academy is the worst school ever?
-If anyone has had a bad expierience or dosnt like connections academy I be Glad if you wrote down a few reasons why and give a detailed description...Why do you think Connections Academy is a bad school? I have had only the BEST experience in my 2 years of enrollment. Are you doing it as a portfolio for English/writing in Connections Academy? Probably not the best subject to choose. I haven't had any problems, and I'm wondering if you are actually a student there.... I don't think Connections Academy is a bad school at all. The school I was at before Connections Academy was horrid compared to Connections Academy. If you MUST choose it, then maybe you could put your views on why you don't like Connections Academy.
Will i be bullied?????????
-so im fourteen and im from Georgia , Country. im a dude. im 6ft and pretty strong , speak english pretty well , and im coming in USA. Chicago , right , so will i be bullied. i mean like i never got bullied and would beat the **** out anyone but you know what i mean , i dont know anyone there :dYou can't ever tell about bullying, but if you are 6 ft. tall and have the attitude listed here, likely no one will bully you. Bullies generally pick on those who seem weak and defenseless; bullies are usually cowards inwardly and won't mess with people who seem possibly dangerous...

Can I get get homeschooled for the final month of highschool?
-I was signed out of highschool 2 weeks ago and don't know what to do? Am I allowed to take online homeschool courses for the final 4 weeks of school? I'm not sure if I could do that and what if I decide to return to normal school next year what happens? I'm a sophomoreOf course you can! My mom owns a school for homeschoolers, so I know this. My cousin did the same thing. You can go back to school next year. The bad thing is that it may be a little hard to get into a online course since it is already in the school year. Other then that, you can!
You can easily get credit for your work under a regular homeschool. The online classes may be hard because they're already started. There was a school that started the time the day you start. You can google online homeschool classes to find it. Good luck!

Good luckI Have the same stuff. My mom thinks i am stupid and i am pretty advanced. I Think we need to tell them we need some time and maybe to repeat every lesson and write it down in a workbook. I Hope this helped!!! it helped me a lot.
Can you describe the schedule of your typical homeschooling day to me?
-I just started homeschooling and I need some ideas on what to do, How much to do, and what to use.
It would be great if you could tell me some of the resources you use,how much time you spend on things, and stuff like that.
Also I don't want to do an online program because I am probably homeschooling only one year and we don't want to pay. SO what are some good books you've been using to learn?
And I am not hiring a tutor either.
Thankss(:Not all online schools cost money. I'm in high school and It's completely free you don't have to pay for anything. I just depends on what sites you go to because, some of them are free.

Some days we have co-op classes and such.
On days we spend home, the kids get up and start skills practice: language arts & math. They use workbooks and/or printed worksheets. They do this for about 45 to 90 minutes.
They have a snack and then usually read for about 30 minutes (independent reading). They may spend some time working on things like art, practicing guitar or Spanish, etc.
Then do some chores, or go out and play a little, walk the dog, etc.
After lunch they work a couple of hours on unit studies (can be a science, history or literature unit).
A unit study is when you pick a topic and then pursue it for a couple weeks to a couple of months, doing all sorts of educational activities that revolve around it: independent research, watch documentaries, web surfing for info, writing assignments, projects, experiments, make an exhibit, write a paper, put together a display, film a documentary, make a lapbook (google lapbooks, they are interesting), etc.
In the afternoons when the school kids get home they generally go out and play, or they go on to community center classes or activities like play rehearsal, art class, karate, etc.

Homeschooling help PLEASE?
-This will be my first year to homeschool my son who will be in kindergarten this fall. I have search overload from all the diiferent sites, so i really need help. What are the required course for kindergarten? Do i have to register with my state(louisiana)? i dont want an online public school. 100% homeschool. Is A-beka a good choice? please help me begin this journey!A-Beka is an Awesome homeschooling. Everyone i know that has used/using abeka absolutely love it! i did it k-2nd and i loved it and im doing it next year again and cant wait. I can tell you anything you want to know about abeka.
Its got great activities for the little ones and great books and it is very organized.
Not sure if you need to register with Louisiana you'll have to check.
(this is just stuff that you may want to know about homeschooling)> It only takes about 2 1/2 to 3hours of school a day. You can finish school early and he will get ahead of most every in the grade that he would be in, in public school.
If you need to know anything else about abeka you can email me at allykites@yahoo.com !
My mother said she highly recommends abeka, she loves it. and so does all our friends and family (:
Hope this helps! -Alexx
Abeka is great! However it is very easy (in fourth grade i had .only one book to read for the whole year). personally, i would suggest sonlight if you are Christian. Even if you are not, their programs have amazing read alouds. My mom did sonlight with me for 4 years and i loved every minute of it! Another great program is homeschool in the woods. If your son enjoys coloring and compliling his work into a large activity folder, i highly suggest this program. Currently my mom and little sister (5 grade) are doing a combination of sonlight and homeschool in the woods, and to be honest, im somewhat dissappointed i didnt get to do this with my mom at that age (im currently a freshman in high school).
Homeschooling is great! Although many people say that homeschoolers are unsocialized, that is far from the truth!! If you begin to feel that this is true, but dont want your son in public school, there are many umbrella programs and co ops. I have been going to a school for homeschoolers once a week for 3 years now and i love it! I have made so many friends! My mom has also informed me that many people comment on how mature my sister and i are in conversations, even conversations with adults. Before i was homeschooled i was uncomfortable speaking to new people, but now that im home all day most of the week, meeting new people has become part of my life. Im also comfortable having conversations with adults and feel that i have a better understanding of life and other peoples feelings now. I am also much much closer to my mom than i ever was!
I hope you have a great time homeschooling your son! Best wishes on choosing a program! God bless!!
Im home schooled and i did A-Beka for 2 or 3 years. My mom did not like it because she needed to plan all the lessons and stuff but you get the books and they give you things you need to know by the end of the year. I liked A-beka because it was a good program so i highley suggest it the only reason my mom didnt like planning the lessons because she works night shifts almost every night so she didnt have time for the work so i now go to a cyber school but i would rather go to A-beka so i suggest it to you! Good luck!
A-beck is a wonderful option. There are really no "required" subjects for Kindergarten. And in most places it is not even a required grade level.
My daughter is 6 and I have acquired a variety of curriculum from various sources. She has a science project she is currently working on we call Orla's Ark that is of our own making...where she teaches and learns at the same time. She is 6 now.
Good luck home schooling your son! I really enjoy it myself. Wishing you great success.
You have to look into LA state homeschool laws to find out if there are required courses.
I'm pretty sure you don't even have to register him in LA until he turns 7 (compulory laws-- check them)... so if he is younger, you don't have to worry about it right now-- you can still educate him, you just don't have to follow state laws.
"Best" curriculum is completely subjective. What works for one family may be hated by another and a complete waste of an investment.
I think there is a lot to consider about your own educational philosophies, style of doing things, and your child's learning style before you can really make an informed choice on curricula. So many people buy it for the wrong reasons; not because they really like the approach, but because they felt pressure to do something "schoolish" or were too worried about going rogue. They want a safety net, and sometimes it just ends up getting in your way if you don't like it, or gathering dust.
Once you learn about and can properly evaluate what will suit your needs, you can make a better choice about which (if any) curriculum will serve them, or what other materials and supplies you'd find useful.
That doesn't mean put education on hold; there is still tons to do together-- reading, games, printable worksheets or bookstore workbooks to practice shapes, letters, numbers, etc.; field trips, lapbooks (those are really a fun way to learn!) or scrapbooking around an educational topic; units, etc.; there are thousands of free or cheap printables on the internet-- for grade K, I personally like enchantedlearning.com, it only costs $20 per year but has tons of resources. Check it out because it offers a lot of free stuff, too.
So my recommendation is just don't rush into a major purchase before you're ready, just to have something on the table that first day. You don't need to treat homeschooling like "school at home".
Its got great activities for the little ones and great books and it is very organized.

Do we have to go to school if we use online learning?
-Hi I live in nsw but thinking to move to Tasmania. If I do, I don't want to go to certain schools. So I'm wondering what online learning is, and if I did that do I have to go to school? I am 14 and in year 8.No, you don't. You're still learning, except for the fact that you're on the computer not at the school. So no u don't have to go to school if your using online learning
How to make new friends if home schooled.?
-Hello Im home schooled now as a freshman, and sometimes talk to my old friends from middle school. And I only talk to one of them all the time. I feel like their just blowing me off now like they dont wanna hang with me anymore. And not answering my texts and this is getting old its not like I liked them that much anyway. So I would just like to start over. Im a guy and id like to be friends with more girls than guys because most dudes are just lame and immature. Id like to form a group were there are guys and girls you know. Because in the past I was friends with some girls and guys but we never all hang together because they dont know each other. Any way I wanna drop these friends now because they dont care about me and their wasting my time. So how do I make new friends, I would like to join a homeschool support group but i cant find any. I live in the suburbs and i was looking for some around chicago. Also I wanna vollenteer but i cant find any. So what can I do? thanksThere are many ways to meet friends and to be active while homeschooling such as:
Take up a new hobby or expand on a current one
Volunteering
Join a homeschool co-op
Join a homeschool social group
Join the YMCA, YWCA, Boys Club/Girls Club
Take classes through the local recreation center or private studio such as: sports, dancing, martial arts, art etc
Learn to play a musical instrument
Book Clubs
Scouts
Activities through your church/synagogue/mosque/coven etc
Homeschool Support Groups are one place to look for new friends. I have Chicago area groups linked here:
http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/regi鈥?/a>
At 14 your interests are also starting to solidify, so join community groups where all sorts of people enjoy the same things you do.
If you want to meet girls, you will want to join groups that attract a lot of girls. Book Clubs come to mind, if you enjoy talking about good books with girls. Join co-ed sports teams - swimming and tennis come to my mind first here. Girls also tend to love animals - and guys who like animals. Volunteer at the humane society!
We solved part of the "friends" problem by inviting old friends over for a "study hall" right after school, saving some of the homeschool studying for that time. The others had to tell their parents where they were, and being hungry after school, we asked all to contribute snack food. After work was done they'd play computer games, go swimming, or go out to the park for a ball game. Other parents were often at work, and appreciated knowing their young teens were being supervised. This group stayed friends for many years. One dropped by the other day with his children. It was great to see him again.

Is this a 12th grade curriculum?
-I am taking these:
English: American Literature
Geometry: by Saxon
Chemistry: by Prentice Hall
History: "Modern History through the 18th Century (i will also do "The Last two Centuries and current Events" and "Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights")
And I am also taking Italian.
I feel like some of these subjects are from like 10 or 11 grade. I am not sure I will be able to graduate this year with these books/subjects and level, do you think these are 12th grade subjects and if not, what would be correct?American or English Lit is usually studied for 12th grade
Geometry is generally a 9th or 10th grade subject, unless you are fulfilling minimum requirements for your state. I know CA requires at least 2 years of math. Check your state requirements.
Chemistry is fine as long as General Science/Biological Science is complete.
Economics and Government are standard for 12th grade. The other History classes are usually done in the lower grades.
Italian is cool! I assume you're taking two years of a language?
Obviously, you can mix your subjects as opposed to doing them in a certain order. The important thing is that you fulfill the requirements for graduation for your state. Check with a local school or college that lists high school requirements. That's a good way to make sure you're on track if you can't track down the specific requirements for your state.Geometry is 10th grade Chemistry is 11th grade history Im taking my last history in 11th grade so I believe in 12 grade it is in English its depends wich english you are taking here in Florida we number then ENGLISH I ENGLISH II ENGLISH III AND ENGLISH IV like that you know the level of english you are achieving about italian is just an elective is not necesary pertaining to a grade level

So do my parents have to teach me if I'm HOME-schooled?
-What if they didn't graduate high school?So do my parents have to teach me if I'm HOME-schooled?
That depends on the homeschool laws where you live
What if they didn't graduate high school?
That also depends on the laws where you live. In some states you will not be able to be homeschooled if neither one graduated high school. In some states there is more oversight if they didn't and in some states it does not affect your ability to be homeschooled at all.
My daughter started home schooling in 9th grade.
All I taught her was math and statistics.
She taught herself French and Spanish. She also spent a summer with a college textbook to learn the first year of college math.
We mainly played cards and talked while she was home-schooled, and we just did math for fun.
no they do not, im homeschooled and do it all by myself! very easy to do (: but you do need help with some stuff(:

CAN YOU GRADUATE EARLY IF YOU'RE HOMESCHOOLED?!?
-I am almost finished with my freshman year in high school and I've wanted to home school for a few years now. I am dying to get out of that prison and actually learn something with my homeschooling. But what I wanted to know is: Is it possible for me to home school and ALSO graduate early from high school while home schooling? For instance, can I do maybe only 2 years or less of cramming in my school work through homeschooling, and then graduate extra early? PLEASE help!Yes! of course! lol. you can graduate early from school + you will get ahead of everyone in ur school (if you study like you should) I am homeschooled but went to publice school for 3rd-5th and was like a grade a head of everyone! homeschooling is really easy and doesnt take 8hourse a day.. only about 3 (depending on how fast you do it) (:
Check this out http://www.k12.com/ it has a public school option online, under schools & programs if your state offers it yet. Other wise there are other options available. Make a search online.

If your child fails due to absences. Will he need to repeat grade if home schooled.?
-He just recently started acting. Due to this he has missed 23 days of school while filming. He is a A/B student in the 6th grade. He actually reads at a 10th grade level and is a GREAT student. He has made a B in math and I think that is due to missing school. He is able to make up days of school by staying after for 4 hours. However if this will not matter due to being home schooled I wanted to know. If not I will just allow him to fail and bump him up when he starts. I just did not know how this works. For all I know he might one day go back to public school and I don't want this to mess that up.I'm a bit surprised by this - I thought the laws on child actors not missing out on education were very strict. Doesn't he have a tutor while filming?
I know in our state what you are suggesting would not be a problem at all. You can place him wherever you like for homeschool and deal with the school on placement if he returns. Other states may have different laws and procedures... but it is not at all uncommon for the homeschooling parent to have complete control of 'grade level' while homeschooling.
Typically if he is returning to public school before he has any high school credits accepting the grade level you have prepared him for will not be a problem. Some schools may require him to 'test into' his grade but the tests are usually quite easy. After beginning high school, however, some public schools in some states will 'fight' you on accepting his homeschool credits. I wouldn't let this stop you from homeschooling or returning to public school... you just need to be aware of this as you make decisions in the future.

Thnx!

How do colleges generally view homeschooled students?
-I was homeschooled and received A's and B's, and I'm currently at a community college and doing well (3.8 GPA), but what will happen when I inevitably transfer to a university? Will it reflect negatively or positively that I was homeschooled, or will they not care either way and only look at what I did in the community college?Colleges and universities have widely reported good results with homeschoolers; they all take homeschoolers, even some ivy league colleges recruit them.
My daughter was homeschooled, she was offered full scholarship to university.
Great SAT or ACT scores help, as does a well rounded person who has pursued interesting things, both educationally and as extra curricular activities.
Since you have community college transcripts you won't need to submit homeschool transcripts, you'll go in as a transfer student.They don't care about home schooled. When you go to community college, the only thing that matter now is what you did in college.

Havent touched my school in 1 1/2 years.... Very stressed about my sick mom, awful step father, just everythin?
-Ok to get started my mom is very sick with gastroparesis, its a disease that basically stops all the movement in her stomach and intestines. So she cant eat but basically 1 meal on a good day. She throws up several times a day regardless of if she had eaten or drank anything that day. So don't blame her, the fact that she can even wake up and get out of bed is incredible, before she got sick she was the hardest working single mom ever. She still works her *** off everyday, but she just doesn't have the energy to deal with me and my school. As for my step dad he is the biggest excuse for a husband ever, he doesn't beat my mom or me which I am thankful for and I know he could be much worse but the fact that my mom is sick and I am failing school he should step up and be a man. His average day is waking up working, coming home and not even talking to any of us. Also he has the WORST son ever, he has admitted to trying to break him and my mom up, I have never hated anyone in my life but him. This isn't the classic I hate my brother rant, my step brother has by himself ruined my families life. So my step father decides that its best to send him to his dead wives mother, by the way he is adopted. He sees him on the weekends, what a pathetic father. I don't even worry about he treats me, but he doesn't even acknowledge my mom or sister, and when he does it is usually to fight. I wont go into detail but take my word for it he is a disrespectful, sick in the head ASSHOLE that causes so much stress in my mom and sisters life. Same with his son. I seriously cannot even describe how bad they have ruined my families life, my mom, me, and my sister that it.
Now onto the title, Im going to be COMPLETELY honest with you because if I am not 100% truthful what is the point in asking for help if you not willing to admit your mistakes that stress you out.
As you know my mom is sick, so we signed up for FLVS ( Florida Virtual School) 2 summers ago. It went well for about 2 months, but then the gamer in me came out, I took advantage of my mothers sickness, and my step fathers lack of concern for anything I do. I lied about doing school, I would play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 several hours a day, severely addicted to it Im talking 5- 10 hours a day. Then I moved onto a game called World of Warcraft, this game is EXTREMELY addictive, some days I would seriously just sit at my computer playing all day, I recently quit playing it about 2 weeks ago actually, it keeps track of all the time you played the game. I have logged over 100 days played time on that game, played time meaning you actually have to be playing not just sitting there, so basically I played it like it was my job for 2 years Pretty sad right, Im done with that game now, I have wasted the last 2 years of my life and I want to be somebody, I know that if I keep playing games all day I WILL have a bad life, I need to think about my future.
Now you know why I have not done my school, will my mom get in trouble for this, will I get in trouble for it? I was a straight A student at my old brick and mortar school, now Im basically a drop out if I don't step it up. As of right now I am at the beginning of the 2nd semester of 9th grade. I just want to go back to school because right now I have NO social life whatsoever, I have good friends that want me to come back, I have been lying to them about doing my school and telling them I will be coming back for my junior year. I do want to go back but I just don't know how that would be possible. I tell myself that I will start working on my school, but I never do. At this point my mom has known I haven't been doing school for basically the year and a half I haven't been doing it. She has worked so hard for me and I don't want to disappoint her by not even finishing 9th grade. Ever since she had me and my older sister has been 100% focused on her kids, she loves us more than anything. Some kids that live in much worse conditions than me manage to finish college. What is my problem? Why am I so damn lazy? I want to be somebody but the best I ever do is think for hours crying and stressing about my school, mom and sister instead of actually doing anything. Also the only things I really enjoy or video games and basketball, those 2 things will not get me a job or a future so I worry that I won't enjoy my life no matter how hard I work.
I don't really have a specific question I just want some peoples opinions on my self inflicted miserable life. Im a 16 year old boy and lost, please help.Sweetie, I hope your mom's health improves.
Look, you have not ruined your life. You have made mistakes, you have learned from them. That's good.
Now it's time to stop letting yourself get away with things, stop crying about them; inflicting more misery on yourself is not going to help you. You have to nosedive back in and get started... it will be hard but once you do you'll feel better and things will turn around.
You are young; you can turn things around.
First thing to check is that you are not in non-compliance in your state; every state has it's own laws you have to follow. If you were supposed to have been handing in paperwork or getting tests done, and haven't, you could be in non-compliance. Believe me, you want to contact them before they come to you. Your mom can talk to them about her illness and how things fell behind and ask what needs to be done to get you back in good standing.
If your state doesn't require such things, then it's all just up to you. Make yourself a reasonable schedule... ask your family (mom & sis) to check on you to make sure you are keeping up. Get rid of games and gadgets that tempt you.
Also... get out every day. Play basketball, or blow off steam with a walk. Sunlight and fresh air can do wonders for the mood, and adrenalin is a natural mood enhancer. Don't get so caught up in catching up that you bury yourself and depress yourself, which will just make it harder to get up and keep going.
Our son, too, loved Worlds of Warcraft... and even fell in love with a girl he met there.
He learned, while playing the game, that he loved the economics of it: he enjoyed the buying and selling of items to further the ends of whatever "mission" he was involved doing. He learned to make friends all over the world.
He started community college at about your age, and got some business classes under his belt. He then took those units and transferred to the University of Hawaii, where he majored and graduated with a degree in Economics. He got out just in time to understand why he couldn't find a very good job! He's now sort of my Finance Guy: he does all the Quickbooks stuff, making sure we track our business expenses and that the advertisers get billed. He has also learned to do payroll on ADP online. In other words, playing lots of WoW hasn't hurt him at all! It has inspired him to learn to run a small business.
So do some Kahn Academy to get caught up in math. Apply this summer to a community college...go talk to them about "dual enrollment," which means being enrolled in high school and college at the same time. You'll get high school credits for the "remedial" classes you take, and college credit for those at college level.
The world is changing fast. In 1989 when I started "playing" on AOL, everyone thought I was wasting my time. But I learned how to build online communities. At the time, no one thought that was a skill worth having. Now I make a decent living doing just that, and my husband and son work for me, too! It has become a well-paying skill to know how to organize people all over the world toward some common goal.
I also got involved with the education group at NASA when they had a workshop here between themselves, game designers and educators. They knew that games were going to be THE way to train young people to have the sort of skills to colonize the moon or Mars. So think about it: what skills did you master in your 100 days of playing time? There is more advanced math in WoW than meets the eye!
What roles did you enjoy and play well? What roles in real life are there that are similar? There was something about the game that made your brain happy and engaged - what was it? Now you are just feeling guilty about it. (Been there. Done that.) You could have a life like those investigators on NCIS with all those fancy computer simulators! Someone has got to do it!
Me, I get to review all the "hottest" new online education sites, often before they are fully released. I get to talk with those looking into the future of education, and you know, it looks an awful lot like WoW!

Why children participate in sports and two reasons why they drop out?
-children participate in sports to learn different areas of interest. they drop out sometimes because it requires more effort, self assurance and skill than they thought. they cannot get to all the practices the sport entailes because of conflicts in scheduling with the rest of their family obligations.children participate in sports to learn different areas of interest. they drop out sometimes because it requires more effort, self assurance and skill than they thought. they cannot get to all the practices the sport entailes because of conflicts in scheduling with the rest of their family obligations.
Homeschooling/Learning at gcse level in the UK?
-Hi, i would like to know if I wanted to be homeschooled at Gcse level, how would I do it/ go about it?
I need to know how to become homeschooled etc , what I need to know ,how to take the gcse exams and what to do after, curriculum, coursework and anything else / others??
Thanks and please help ^ ^;;The first thing you need to do is to persuade your parents that you want to be home educated. In the UK, the legal responsibility for your education lies with your parents. Most parents delegate that to a school, but the responsibility remains fundamentally theirs. So your parents have every legal right to home educate you if you can persuade them that it's the right option for you.
The procedure you will need to follow (in England and Wales) is that your parents would need to write to your school telling them that you will be home educated from X date and telling the school (telling, not asking, because the school cannot refuse) to remove your name from their register. The school will then pass that information to the local LEA, who will get in touch with your parents. Depending on the area you live in, some will be sympathetic and stick to their legal remit (which gives them very little, actually, to do with home ed) or some will be more aggressive and demand meetings and so on which they are not legally entitled to. If you choose this option, make sure your parents fully understand the law and can stand their ground against uninformed LEAs. They really should look at http://www.education-otherwise.org/ which gives full legal information about home ed in the UK.
Once the legal bit is out of the way, you and your parents are free to organise your education however you choose. You do NOT have to sit GCSEs or any other examinations, ever. If you decide you want to, then there are a variety of options open to you, but your parents will need to find an exam centre (usually as school) which will allow you to sit the exams as an external candidate. To study, you can study under your own steam, with your parents' help - all of the exam boards have full details online of what exactly you will need to have covered for each subject - or your parents could buy in tutors or distance learning courses. This latter tends to be expensive, however. There are support groups online which cater specifically to home ed teens and their parents who are going through the GCSE process, so you can find plenty of advice and support if you decide to do this.
Bear in mind, however, that GCSEs are not necessary. You could skip straight to A levels if you wish (and you don't have to be 18 to sit them), or many home ed children work on Open University qualifications instead of GCSEs/A Levels. Alternatively, depending on your future career choice, you may find that you don't need any qualifications at all, or that a college or uni might take you on the strength of a portfolio and interview (in creative subjects, for instance). There are many more options available than just following the standard school route. Home education can be a wonderful choice for many families, but it does need commitment from parents and an ability to be comfortable with choices outside the norm. Good luck with your decision!

How to find friends if your homeschooled?
-Hello, I May be a little young for here but i need help!
I Am home schooled.
i go to the park.
I See my moms friends kits
None of them are fun or my age.
How can i help make friends?
I Am 14.if you go to church you can find a lot of people there your age (: and there may be some homeschooling programs around you.
Im home schooled also and i get friends from like the neighborhood and church and im going to be going to a homeschooling program next year and will probably get more friends then. but i went to school for 3years(3rd-5th) and got some friends then (:
Look around, get outside and explore the world. You can always join community clubs in your area about things that you are interested in. If you love music, you can take music classes. If you are interested in books, you can always visit your library and join the book club. Many opportunities are available to make new friends; you just have to look for them.
Have you thought of joining some clubs that they have at the school closest to you? Where I live, home schooled are allowed to go to some activities at the public school. With safety and not going with anyone that you do not have permission from your parents, there is also the internet, but PLEASE use caution.
wow that sucks ..........um join a summer camp ........or mostly play with neighbors which is better

How do i get a copy of my high school diploma?
-1973 graduated burnsville high school, burnsville, mnI would imagine you first contac the High School and if they cannot give you a copy, they will refer you to the right place, probably the State Education Dept.
Call the district that you graduated from and ask them what you need to do.

3 classes per semester plan on Florida Virtual School..?
-Next year I'm going to be homeschooled using FLVS. I plan on doing the 3+3 method or 3 classes per semester method. Has anyone done this? How was your experience? Is it hard to keep up? If you don't know what I'm talking about it's on page 13 of the link below. Oh, and when you're absent for vacation or if you're sick, do you just call your teachers?

Help with homeschooling?
-I am about to finish 9th grade. We are moving soon to Louisiana and i would prefer to take my sophomore year online or at home. Does anyone have good suggestions on how to get started with the whole transition and process? I have never home schooled before. So any program suggestions? I am also an Honors and AP student,if that helps.I am also in the ninth grade!
I am in K12 Academies Here is the direct link to the Louisiana Virtual Academy (LAVCA) Now Enrolling!
The teaching is great and its 99% online. (you have to go to diffrent locations for field trips ect.)
ITS AN AWESOME SCHOOL
http://www.k12.com/lavca/
My younger siblings completed their high school at home through this umbrella school online: http://www.homelifeacademy.com/
My parents had to put together a transcript of what they'd be studying, and HLA had to approve it (in some cases, they suggested alternatives). Basically, you just have to get a sufficient number of credits from the different subjects you're studying.
Once you've completed your studies, your grades will need to be sent in and within a short time they'll send you your diploma.
Check out the site - it's pretty straightforward, I believe.

What is schooling like in Scotland?
-I currently live in the US and am moving to Scotland after my Sophomore year in high school. I will be 16 in the school year that I start in Scotland, and I was wondering about what would happen with my education. What year would I be in? What classes would I take? How would having an American education effect me? What will I learn? What exams would I have to take? What should I expect? Anything would be helpful, thank you so much!Age 16 could span a few different classes going by the school years graph in the first link below. Have provided two other links too.
What are some good Homeschooling programs for High School?
-I will be a Sophomore next year and my parents are thinking about Homeschooling me.
I intend on doing something in the field of science, maybe involving Criminal Justice, and things of that sort.Apologia Science

Is it wise to transfer my children to a Public School?
-My childrren, ages 14 and 7 years old both start schooling in a private catholic school in Manila, Philippines. I am a single mother but I was able to ssend them to private schools because I work abroad and was financially capable. However, during the time that I was not with them during their school years, I noticed that they are not really focusing in their studies, especially my boy the 14 year old. I work in Tokyo and the recent events that happened in Japan has agreatly aaffected my job. My employers who are foreigners like me, started packing their things and went back to their countries, leaving me in Tokyo with no one to work for. Life is getting difficult so I decided to just go home this may and stay with my kids, and a job or business. My concern is that will my children have a hard time adjusting from private school to public school? How will it affect their self confidence?If you can afford it, I would send them to private.
To me, it isn't about the whole religious thing, it's simply the fact that they'll be getting a better education. Public schools, quite honestly, aren't exactly a spectacle.
yes you should because then your children would be able to interact with other kids. If you send them to private school they wouldn't be able to interact with so many kids because there are less people at private school than public schools. It with boost their self confidence and make them more social.
Try to find them a Positive School... And maybe wait till they Transfer to Middle School/ End of Year... It affected me less when I was going to Middle School...
Hope everything works out Ok

If you're in 8th grade in homeschool & you go back when its 9th grade do you have to start over 8th grade?
-Not if you've got documentation to show the new school that you completed 8th grade through homeschooling--homeschooling is a legal form of education and does count. You'll want to contact the school and be sure that you have the documentation that they want to see before starting at the new school. Some will want to see the work that you've done. Some may want the parents to type up an official report card. Some might require a test of some sort or might want the parents to have a certified teacher review the work done for 8th grade and certify that the student is prepared to begin 9th grade.
Call the new school and find out what paperwork they want to see and make sure you have the paperwork needed.Not if you've got documentation to show the new school that you completed 8th grade through homeschooling--homeschooling is a legal form of education and does count.

Call the new school and find out what paperwork they want to see and make sure you have the paperwork needed.Not if you've got documentation to show the new school that you completed 8th grade through homeschooling--homeschooling is a legal form of education and does count. You'll want to contact the school and be sure that you have the documentation that they want to see before starting at the new school. Some will want to see the work that you've done. Some may want the parents to type up an official report card. Some might require a test of some sort or might want the parents to have a certified teacher review the work done for 8th grade and certify that the student is prepared to begin 9th grade.

How does home schooling work wether you have a tutor or computer?
-We don't really use either; we have used a math tutor one hour a week or so with our daughter once, and we research on the computer but the kids are not in an online program.
Your parents have to learn the state laws to figure out what is required.
Other than that, there are many different ways to approach learning, so that's something you should research together in the library.

How do you obtain a high school diploma via a "homebound program"?
-A homebound program, if i'm not mistaken, is a program established by the parent via letter of intent to the superintendent of the school district. If "homebound program," is not the correct term please correct me in your response.
I've read that I can obtain it via maintaining a portfolio and taking the SAT (I&II) ?

Online free public schools for southern california?
-We just moved to San Bernardino California. Because there is such little time left in the school year, my dad is trying to enroll us in online school. We did online school a couple years ago (my dad is in the navy) and we liked it. My brother is in 7th grade and i am in 9th. However, we are having trouble finding an online school that is still accepting students for the 2010-2011 school year. The sooner we can enroll, the better. Please and thank you.Go to the district building and ask them. They're the only ones who know what their district has to offer.

Who have more opportunities to be accepted in college a Homeschool Student or Regular Highschool student?
-Lets pretend both have a 3.5 GPA or avobe wich one have more opportunities of been accepted, wich one will receive more SCHOLARSHIPS, wich one wil have more ADVANTAGES? Also wich method is better when it comes to your senior year? I have 20.5 credits and I need 24 to graduate I complete all my require credits to graduate already I just need 1 more math class and 1 more english class that I can easily take online and it will be left 1.5 elective credit for my senior year that I can easily do online too is better just taking home school online and do just 4 clases or is better going to school next year to take 8 clases the ones that I need plus 5 I dont need at all that most likely will be electives and a lost of time?...Homeschooling doesn't work that way for everyone-- you can't get credits when you don't go to an accredited school; credits are just the school's way of keeping track of you completing their requirements.
When you homeschool, unless you are enrolled in an online schol or something, you don't even get a GPA, you don't even need to get grades when you are homeschooled.
If you are in an online program, your transcripts are pretty much going to line up with everyone else's from public or private school-- technically you did school at home, but you are not really "homeschooling" as your education is still guided by an institution.
Homeschoolers who go it on their own generally submit transcripts of their educational achievements and accomplishments-- what they've studied, classes, apprenticeships, long-term projects, etc.
Then of course you also must submit SAT/ACT scores, or any dual enrollment credits, a solid essay, recommendations, volunteer & extra curricular activities, etc., which will all be compared.
Colleges have had great success with homeschoolers so they tend to treat them pretty equally.
My daughter was unschooled (no formal structured textbook learning) and she started jr college classes at 15, and was offered a full scholarship to University a couple years later.
I think the students that look impressive to the universities are the ones who demonstrate (through test scores, awards, essay, etc.) that they have solid writing, verbal and math skills, but also demonstrate a lot of unique and diverse projects, like spending 2 years raising baby goats or bees, or starting a business and running it from home, or getting a summer youth internship at the local newspaper (I've known kids who had these kinds of things on their transcripts).
Pair that with great recommendations, high standardized test scores and a great essay, and they are obviously going to stand out as an engaged, self-motivated and self-directed learner who can handle college work and goes above and beyond the call.

Home schooling question?
-I am a junior in high school. This year, I decided to leave my Catholic school to continue my education with an online school. I was wondering, since I am technically a "Home schooled student" am I entitled to services from the local public school counselor i.e college preparation and such?Online schools are not what is considered "home schooling".. in fact, most online schools are considered legal public schools, and as such have their own counselors and college prep directors.Homeschooled students don't get those kinds of services from the public schools.
If you are enrolled in an online school you will have to see what they offer; if your online school is put out by a public board of ed, they might offer you some things.
A lot will depend on who funds your program-- If you pay for it, then no-- you only get what your program offers you from your program; it's like attending private school. Public schools don't owe you anything.
If it's a free program that means it's probably publicly funded. Basically the whole reason some (not all) states do this is to not lose the money they would have gotten had the homeschoolers been attending school; so they offer programs and computers and all kinds of enticement to get kids to register as a virtual school student, which technically makes you a public school student and your district gets federal funding for you.
If this is the case, they may offer you some services you'd have gotten had you been in school.
Some homeschoolers don't want that, because it means you are then accountable to the school and have to follow the school's program, curriculum, testing, etc. (if we wanted to do that we'd just send the kids to school, you know?).
But if you homeschool (without registering as a student at an online school), you are on your own.

I want to be home schooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
-Ok, so i have really bad school phobia and panic attacks at school. But, at home i am fine. Should I be home schooled? How should I tell my mom about this? Thanks!I understand your desire to be home-schooled because of panic or anxiety attacks at school, but it's really something that you should discuss with a doctor before you ultimately make that decision. I would personally discuss it with a doctor anyway because what if you have these attacks in a work environment? You can't quit your job. So it's best to find another avenue for treatment if you really want the problem resolved.
Im home schooled and its really good and you should but you should also go to places and meet new people and slowly get out of these panic attacks because it would be easier if u r home schooled and just go to homeschooling programs and places to meet kids and slowly get out of this. If you do decide to be home schooled i highly recommend you do abeka (: its an awesome homeschooling program.
To get your mom to let you be home schooled is easy unless your mom is like really really mean. Just go up to ur mom sit down with her and be like "mom you know i have panic attacks and stuff at school and dont really like it and i would like to be home schooled for at lest a year so i can try to get out of these panic attacks and would like to go to a homeschooling program so i can get out of these panic attacks and if going to home schooling programs and places where i can meet a few kids at a time doesnt stop the panic attacks in about a year then id like to go to a a doctor or someone that can help"
Also you should probably mention that homeschooling only takes about 3 hours a day depending on how fast you are, you can finish school early, and you can do it your self except the stuff you dont know all that well. its very easy ill give the abeka website below and another one. the A.C.E one isn't as good as abeka but you may like it. (:
My sister had the same issue, and my parents began to home school her (and I), and she doesn't have that issue anymore. Let your mom know that you have panic attacks at school, but not at home, and ask if she would home school you. She wouldn't necessarily even have to be involved.
I'm home-schooled and it's not bad to me. If your shy around people or don't like being around people it's good. It's just like regular high school just at home! Just tell her you want too, and give her a good reason why.
There should be a boy in my class, but he isn't because he is home schooled. He has a fear of being in a room with a lot of people, and he's just scared.
School is the best time of your life, really. And I'm saying this as someone who is just 15 and is still in school. If the panic attacks are serious, than you should go see someone and tell your parents.
Good luck :)
No you don't. Being home-schooled isn't very nice: you have no friends, you'd find it hard to concentrate and you'd miss out on such a lot! Talk to your mum about your school problems.

Can You Loose Interest In Studies If You Stayed Home for More than 4 months?
-Cause i Think i Have...I have been in my home for about 6 months and i think i have lost interest in my studies...I mean its not like that i dont wanna study .....I am always tensed that iam wasting my time...but i know that if i sit down to study then i wont be able to study with interest...idk what to do....Do u think i should join some classes in my locality? Will that Bring My interest Back....also i have lost contact with all of my classmats and friends.....so iam kinda lonely now...:( Any ideas.....Look, if the materials you are using bore you, if you are bored by the approach you take, if you don't like your online program or curriculum, change it.
Classes are great.
Try more independent studies, unit studies, hands-on long-term projects (make a documentary, make an exhibit, spend a year gardening and studying botany, etc.), use different media (watch documentaries instead of reading dry textbooks; go out to worshops and lectures; etc.).
Shake it up.
A great book you should read is the Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace LlewellynCapitalize those "I"'s, go back to school, and if you're so lonely and bored then start studying again! Seems to me like you have a moderation problem, where you study TOO much and get bored so you completely forget about it and now you are lonely because you do nothing and went to the extreme with that. Give yourself some free time and study here and there, but not to much! Take everything in moderation!
The best way I think is to read up on things that you are most interested in. I'm pretty sure you have something that you like and would want to know more about it. The place to visit would be the library. Browsing and leafing through books and magazines should whet your appetite on those topics that interest you.

I have a few questions about homeschooling?
-I am very curious on how homeschooling works.
1. Is homeschooling expensive?
2. Are there different methods of homeschooling and if there are what are they?
3. which is more beneficial: homeschooling or public school.
4. How do home schooled kids participate in extracurricular activities
I currently attend a public high school. I just wanted to learn some information about homeschooling. From my perspective, homeschooling seems to be a better way to get an education since you are learning at your own pace and absorb the information more rather than at a public school where you have either feel like you are left behind or you feel like you aren't challenged enough.1) It can be but it doesn't have to be. If you buy things like new textbooks or pre-packaged curricula, or if you hire tutors, that will make it more expensive than if you buy second-hand textbooks, borrow them from the school, use things like real books from the public library instead of textbooks, or trade services with other people instead of hiring tutors (e.g. babysitting in exchange for French classes). Unless you live in an area that requires you to use a specific program or type or program for homeschooling, you have a lot of control over how much you spend.
2) There are many different methods - too many to list here. You should spend some time researching on your own to learn more about them. Also, keep in mind that pretty much every family has its own method, and that what works for one family may not work for you. You will probably need to try a few things before finding the best method for you.
3) Depends on the student and the family. There is no one answer for this.
4) Join activities not associated with a specific school, such as YMCA activities or things like Habitat for Humanity (if you're into volunteering), or start your own activities if there aren't any available that interest you. Some school districts DO allow homeschoolers to join school-based activities, but you need to learn the laws in your area to know if that would be possible.
5) You should check with the College Board website for information on the SAT. Most likely you can register there now, and would have to go to your local testing location to actually take the test (I took mine before the internet was common so don't quote me on that). You should check with your local school board or other area homeschoolers for information on Regents exams.
6) You should make a transcript keeping track of your own grades, classes, and extracurricular activities. You can submit that to colleges. You might also consider keeping a portfolio of some of your best work, since some schools might ask for that as well. Ultimately, before you apply, check with the schools that interest you to see what they require of homeschooled applicants.I was in public school in 2nd quarter this year. Then i decided to switch to homeschooling, at AZVA, it is a partner with k12.com All of the states education boards have a home school program associated with k12.com It is 100% free they will ship you all the materials and a bunch of books.
I desperately want to go back to public school; the first month of home school i was enthusiastic and doing all my work and working ahead. But then you loose motivation and you start to cheat and do the minimum amount of classes.
Yes we do take all of those tests, i just got done with aims (Arizona's instrument to measure standards) Every state has one of those tests.
I am about to sign up for swimming and tennis at my local recreation center. I am also looking in the the home school group at my church. The school has field trips, we can go skiing, hiking, and join clubs, but on the field trips you can take a friend but you need to bring a adult with you. We actually could go on a field trip to disneyland, San Fransisco and Universal studios.
1. Is homeschooling expensive?
It costs what you want. Spend thousands on expensive curricula & supplies, specialty classes & tutors; or spend nothing and use your library and the internet for resources.
2. Are there different methods of homeschooling and if there are what are they?
Many:
- Virtual school (online school; e-school) more like being in a school you just do work at home then submit it through computer
- Classical & traditional methods rely more on schoolish methods, done at home, usually parents act more as instructors. There are various curricula you can buy for this, or make your own.
- Unit studies-- when you choose a topic and then spend several weeks researching, doing independent projects and papers and such.
- Unschooling-- child-led learning; it is more unstructured, though a child can decide to do more structured work, say in math because he wanted to bump up an SAT score, but it would be his choice. The idea is that learning can come in all different forms and to encourage kids to keep being curious and wanting to learn, and provide them with a stimulating and engaging environment so they can pursue a number of different topics in many different ways.
- Eclectic-- when you mix many different styles & method; such as doing traditional language arts & math curricula, but doing unit studies in social studies & science; taking co-op classes or community center classes for the arts & music; doing a lot of independent studies, long term projects, etc.
3. which is more beneficial: homeschooling or public school.
Both can succeed. Kids who are interested in learning and in their future are going to be better off than kids who are indifferent and just want to party.
4. How do home schooled kids participate in extracurricular activities
Leave the house-- there are tons of things to get into. Library programs, 4H, scouting, co-ops, support groups, youth groups, community center classes & activties, classes at museums and zoos and botanic gardens and such, sports teams, swim teams, karate lessons, drama or theater classes or being in plays, etc. Volunteering... there really is no shortage of activities you can get into.
5. How do home schooled children take tests (regents,SAT,ACT)
You register with the testing board directly.
6. How do you send all school work/ extracurricular activities to colleges
You don't. You just make your own transcripts, which is basically a list of your educational pursuits and accomplishments. YOu don't need grades or credits; but the more diverse and interesting your pursuits, the better. Then you have your SAT/ACT scores shipped, and do the rest of the application like any other student.
1. Is homeschooling expensive?
Homeschooling can be free or expensive, depending on what methods and materials you use. Expensive does not necessarily mean better, either. With internet access and a library card you could homeschool for free (well, the exception of the internet access and getting to/from the library).
2. Are there different methods of homeschooling and if there are what are they?
Yes, there are. Some people call virtual school (public school at home) homeschooling, even though it really is not. Then there is the unlimited methods of actual homeschooling.
3. which is more beneficial: homeschooling or public school.
Homeschooling is not for everyone, but neither is public or private school. Public school might be more beneficial for a child in some circumstances while homeschooling would be more beneficial for another child in the same circumstances. Homeschooling is, however, more individualized and with homeschooling you are better able to accomodate the individuals strengths and weaknesses, etc.
4. How do home schooled kids participate in extracurricular activities
Homeschool groups (ours has Prom, graduation, science fairs, field trips, spelling bees, etc.), community programs (parks and recreation, YMCA, library, etc.) or private (dance studio, art lessons, etc.).
5. How do home schooled children take tests (regents,SAT,ACT)
They register for the tests and take them at a local testing site, usually a public school (not limited to students at those schools) the same way any other student takes the tests.
6. How do you send all school work/ extracurricular activities to colleges
You fill out applications the same way every other student does and include what they require.

4. How do home schooled kids participate in extracurricular activities
I currently attend a public high school. I just wanted to learn some information about homeschooling. From my perspective, homeschooling seems to be a better way to get an education since you are learning at your own pace and absorb the information more rather than at a public school where you have either feel like you are left behind or you feel like you aren't challenged enough.1) It can be but it doesn't have to be. If you buy things like new textbooks or pre-packaged curricula, or if you hire tutors, that will make it more expensive than if you buy second-hand textbooks, borrow them from the school, use things like real books from the public library instead of textbooks, or trade services with other people instead of hiring tutors (e.g. babysitting in exchange for French classes). Unless you live in an area that requires you to use a specific program or type or program for homeschooling, you have a lot of control over how much you spend.
2) There are many different methods - too many to list here. You should spend some time researching on your own to learn more about them. Also, keep in mind that pretty much every family has its own method, and that what works for one family may not work for you. You will probably need to try a few things before finding the best method for you.
3) Depends on the student and the family. There is no one answer for this.
4) Join activities not associated with a specific school, such as YMCA activities or things like Habitat for Humanity (if you're into volunteering), or start your own activities if there aren't any available that interest you. Some school districts DO allow homeschoolers to join school-based activities, but you need to learn the laws in your area to know if that would be possible.
5) You should check with the College Board website for information on the SAT. Most likely you can register there now, and would have to go to your local testing location to actually take the test (I took mine before the internet was common so don't quote me on that). You should check with your local school board or other area homeschoolers for information on Regents exams.
6) You should make a transcript keeping track of your own grades, classes, and extracurricular activities. You can submit that to colleges. You might also consider keeping a portfolio of some of your best work, since some schools might ask for that as well. Ultimately, before you apply, check with the schools that interest you to see what they require of homeschooled applicants.I was in public school in 2nd quarter this year. Then i decided to switch to homeschooling, at AZVA, it is a partner with k12.com All of the states education boards have a home school program associated with k12.com It is 100% free they will ship you all the materials and a bunch of books.
I desperately want to go back to public school; the first month of home school i was enthusiastic and doing all my work and working ahead. But then you loose motivation and you start to cheat and do the minimum amount of classes.
Yes we do take all of those tests, i just got done with aims (Arizona's instrument to measure standards) Every state has one of those tests.
I am about to sign up for swimming and tennis at my local recreation center. I am also looking in the the home school group at my church. The school has field trips, we can go skiing, hiking, and join clubs, but on the field trips you can take a friend but you need to bring a adult with you. We actually could go on a field trip to disneyland, San Fransisco and Universal studios.
1. Is homeschooling expensive?
It costs what you want. Spend thousands on expensive curricula & supplies, specialty classes & tutors; or spend nothing and use your library and the internet for resources.
2. Are there different methods of homeschooling and if there are what are they?
Many:
- Virtual school (online school; e-school) more like being in a school you just do work at home then submit it through computer
- Classical & traditional methods rely more on schoolish methods, done at home, usually parents act more as instructors. There are various curricula you can buy for this, or make your own.
- Unit studies-- when you choose a topic and then spend several weeks researching, doing independent projects and papers and such.
- Unschooling-- child-led learning; it is more unstructured, though a child can decide to do more structured work, say in math because he wanted to bump up an SAT score, but it would be his choice. The idea is that learning can come in all different forms and to encourage kids to keep being curious and wanting to learn, and provide them with a stimulating and engaging environment so they can pursue a number of different topics in many different ways.
- Eclectic-- when you mix many different styles & method; such as doing traditional language arts & math curricula, but doing unit studies in social studies & science; taking co-op classes or community center classes for the arts & music; doing a lot of independent studies, long term projects, etc.
3. which is more beneficial: homeschooling or public school.
Both can succeed. Kids who are interested in learning and in their future are going to be better off than kids who are indifferent and just want to party.

Who's worse republicans or people who believe in unschooling and indigo children?
-None of the above. I don't get the connection. Worse in what way? For our society? For individual kids? I'm not sure exactly which you're asking about.
Republicans or democrats? There are worthwhile people who belong to both parties. Sure I affiliate with one over the other, but I don't think either, or specifically Republicans, are bad by nature. Some. Sure. Some of their ideas. Yup. As a general statement - no. I don't agree with every position of either party and certainly little in the extreme wings of both. Unschooling? It's is fine if that is the parents' and child's choice. I think for some families and children it works great. I do think it should come with the guidance of an involved parent, like a mentor. But that's my judgment. It's one way a child can be well educated, but not the only way. Indigo children? Psuedoscience. There are lots of psuedoscientists out there. I don't have a lot of time for that.Nothing is wrong with Republicans. Why villanize? That's kind of short sighted.
Both Reps and Dems just have different ideas of how to solve problems... anyone prejudice against the other is just too dense to understand the real issues and has just blindly chosen a herd to follow, and parrots what he hears. Like a child who has chosen sides at a game he doesn't understand and just whoops and hollers with the rest of the fans he identifies with.
And having known many unschoolers (I've taught in homeschool co-ops), I am well aware that it works. My own daughter unschooled. She's 20, away at university on scholarship. It's not for every child; but it is extremely effective with self-motivated learners.
Indigo children... that's kind of a new age thing, isn't it? I don't agree with it, but I don't feel the need to put down other people's beliefs.
So of all "Who's Worse?" I would have to say worst of all are judgmental twits who are so insecure that the only way they can reassure themselves is to make fun of things they probably don't have the mental capacity to understand.
I agree with the above answerer. And besides, randomly bashing a group is just showing ignorance.
I myself am homeschooled, but I know of a couple unschoolers, 1 of which is earning his degree at Harvard. If the kid isn't your average day public schooled dunce, then unschooling is extremely effective and pushes the persons intellectual limits.

Looking for a good french learning website with dialogues?
-i want to use dialogues in order to practice french everyday, but i haven't found a good website that's free and updates dialogues (with transcription) daily.
do you have any suggestions?
also any suggestions regarding studying french in general is appreciated.I've been learning italian for almost a year now and I can tell you that you will not find a good course online for free. Either they will be incomplete or the french is not written by a native speaker which might give you wrong words and phrases. I recommend using Live Mocha. It uses the same program as Rosetta Stone, but it only costs $20/ month. You have to do exercises and the people that correct them and give you grades are native speakers. YOU WILL LOVE IT! and it's cheap compared to other leading language courses.

How to convince my parents to send me to public high school Im depressed here sitting at home being homeschool?
-I cant learn that well when homeschooled too
My parents afraid that there are people with drugs there and people having sex
IM A CHRISTIAN. I wont have sex or drugs seriously -.- Plus they dont want me associating with boys, as in working as lab partners etc.
How do I convince them?
I dont have any friends right now either :(Well actually you can have sex at school (although it is frowned upon). but having gone to both public and private christian schools in my youth, I can tell you it happens. I can also tell you that I never once had sex (or saw anyone having sex) at school and I never did drugs. I think the best course of action would be to talk to your parents, explain to them how you feel. Tell them that you think going to a mainstream school would be good for you and give them some reasons why. As for the not being lab partners or working on projects with boys, you can try to talk to your teacher about it. Explain to them how because of your religious beliefs both you and your parents are uncomfortable with you working with members of the opposite sex. It would most likely be good to get this out of the way as soon as you begin school, so if your teacher forgets, you can remind them of it.
Do you go to church? If so ask your pastor, or youth pastor for advise. If having friends is your main concern, try to make some at chuch. If your family home schools, i am sure others do as well. If you do end up going to public school, and you are worried about having friends who only care about sex, drugs, ect the two best groups to look for would be Mormon and Muslim girls. Both groups are very conservitave (in both dress and socialy), neither drink alcohol, dont have sex, dont do drugs. that sort of thing. You will also be amazed at how much you have in common.
Also, many schools have religious clubs and orginizations that meet after school, i am sure your parents would approve. :)im homeschooled too. there are millions of other homeschoolers. if you live in texas or florida you can try c.h.a.a. saints. ask your parents if you can join a homeschool group cuz there are a lot out there that do field trips and stuff and most of them are christian. plus homeschooling has its upsides. you arent locked down 6 hours a day and you can do your work when you want. but if you really want to go to school ask to go to an all-girls school if there is one in your area.
Actually, you can have sex at school. Many people sneak into bathrooms, you can also do drugs etc.
I actually know what you're going through. I am 16 years old, and never had any friends (after 2nd grade) that were not a million years older than me or online. Thankfully my parents saw how much I was going backwards then forwards and they decided in august (this coming august) to put me in a school.
I would recommend building a strong trust with your parents, and letting them know that your head is on straight. Also look for schools that have really good reviews, in great neighborhoods. Maybe even discuss private school?
Tell them! Can't they send you to a Christian school? Some parents are a little over-protective. When you have kids, you'll understand a little better. Regardless, if you want to go to a school, they should honor that.

I am behind in science....? I'm 14?
-I'm homeschooled and I barely know ANYTHING about science because my mom said it was unnecessary. I want to catch up, is it possible? Please tell me some nice sites to learn science?
Thank you! :)You are not behind. Our state public school standards are so low that one book I purchased for my 2nd grader aligned with state standards up to the 8th grade. I suggest going to the library for science books and documentaries. If you don't have a kindle you can download kindle for pc (free) and there are free open source science textbooks available at Amazon. To name a few, there is CK-12 Life Science, CK-12 Earth Science, CK-12 Chemistry, CK-12 Biology I Honors, ect. There are also CK-12 math textbooks that are free. I suggest using the library, the textbooks, and Khan Academy. Khan Academy is completely free also.
I looked at your recent questions and decided to add a few more sources to my answer.
http://www.ushistory.org/
This Country of Ours (US history textbook) http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
I also like reading Edward Eggleston for U.S. History, http://books.google.com/books?id=sLobAAA鈥?/a>
World History Volume 1 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
World History Volume 2 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
World History Volume 3 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
World History Volume 4 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
World History Volume 5 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>
This website, http://www.mainlesson.com , not only has these history books, they have many more, and they have biographies. I suggest when you are reading history that you search for a biography of a few of the people you are reading about.
You can also find more autobiographies and biographies if you search google, select books, then select free e-books. You can read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Lewis and Clark's notes from their expedition. You can also find more public domain history books, classic literature, and many other fine things to read using the google search.
I suggest studying from United State history books, including library books, biographies, and documentaries. You can probably find a lot more from your library. There is a series of U.S. history books written by Joy Hakim. You could also start with book 1 and read all the way through those as well. Just read a little each day. Then write a narration about what you read in a notebook. This will help you retain what you are reading. Read world history in chronological order a few pages a day it may take more than one year to do it. Read biographies, look for books and documentaries at your library. Use a notebook to write down a narration every day about what you read in your own words. It's ok to take 4 years to study world history, many classical homeschoolers do this. There are many that also study United States history along side world history, that is fine too.
The science books you can read then watch video's at Khan Academy. In your own words narrate what you read or learn everyday into a notebook. Take one science topic at a time, I would start with life science.
It is entirely possible to self educate yourself at your age. If you follow my advice that is exactly what you will be doing. Just do a little each day and it will all add up in the end, you will see for yourself after you do this for awhile.Well, your supposedly in 8th/9th grade. Right now, kids your age learn basic science or biology. You can watch documentaries on TV or online, go on youtube and watch random science videos. I don't know specific websites, but starting at www.discoverychannel.com or www.animalplanet.com would be good.
Science is extremely fun to learn also, if you excuse the tedious studying of facts. Look online and google 'science experiments' and try to do one a day.
Hope this helped!
i'm 14 to so i know some sites for teens like us. Bite-size is good. also try getting some books on science. just search for science on google. ok this probably was a bad answer but hope it helps ;)
Try Khan Academy. It's completely free, and they have excellent video courses for several types of science, as well as math and history.
