How do you choose the best home-school program?

Susan T asked:

I am thinking about home-schooling my children, ages 7 and 11, and I know there are different curriculum’s for homeschool. I don’t know where to go to find out about homeschooling resources or how to compare the different programs. In addition, what resources are available to home-school parents? How can you suplement the social aspects, art, PE, and other programs offered in school. I would like to find the program that is right for my children and encorporate all of the additional activities to create a well rounded education for them.
Thank you

How does homeschooling exactly work?

thecuteasian1 asked:


Does it necessarily have to be a parent that is teaching you? Can it be someone coming to your house everyday, and they’d be your teacher? Is it costly? Is there any programs like that around Illinois? Can someone just fill me in on this whole homeschooling thing?
You could teach yourself at home?…I’m a freshman in high school. Is that possible?
Also, for those who do homeschool, is it expensive? How does this all work? Do you get material off the internet?
To know what books to get and what you should learn is what colleges are looking for, correct? Like in my high school, we have to have three years of foriegn language, and different standards for the year we graduate. So whatever books we choose to get are what is needed for college?

NEED HELP! Homeschooling by the books? Keep reading please?

mortician asked:


I am a homeschool student (senior) and I just need to complete 3 more courses to graduate. I have been homeschooling all online on flvs.net. The thing is, French 2 is on of the classes I need and they don’t offer it on this website. What I’d like to know is…is it possible for my mother to become my french teacher by signing up for some homeschooling program? She took french for 4 years so I know she could teach me. I just want to know how it all works. On online school I have teachers that issue my grades. How would my mother give me a grade when she really isn’t “authorized” for that. How does this whole “homeschooling by the books with parents” work?

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Difference between GED and homeschooling diploma?

Leah D asked:


I am possibly interested in homeschooling for the remainder of the year. However, I also know about the possibility of a GED. I know people look down on people who have a GED, and generally it is not looked on equally as a diploma. I only have a couple months of school left, so I was wondering if I should try homeschooling? It would probably be through an online program? Would a diploma from them be better than just a GED?
Please leave your answers!
Thanks!

How can I get enrolled in homeschool? And what are some good homeschool programs that I should look into?

Leopoldo M asked:


I want to be home schooled, but I don’t want my parents to teach me. I want to use one of those online high schools that send you textbooks and have you do online tests but I don’t really know which ones are good or not. So how should I go about getting out of my high school and enrolling in a homeschooling program?

Is there an accelerated graduation program in the state of Georgia?

Marybs asked:


I’ve been homeschooling for 6 years now and although I’ve done highschool curriculums up to 10th grade they told me my credits as a homeschooler don’t count. So I have to enter in 9th grade, but something tells me I’ll be bored in a 9th grade class, is there any accelerated graduation program in Georgia. And if so, what is required?

Where can I find JUST computer based homeschooling?

Kingcobrasss asked:


Some of my friends are homeschooled and a few are doing this on a computer. I have looked online but cant find any info on this just programs that help with parent homeschooling. I was told that his mother pays a fee of $100 a month and she does not teach him.
So I’m interested in the American School of Correspondence. Can I take their courses and really just go to any college as I would with public school? Thanks for the info so far.
So now its on to Penn Foster. It looks interesting to me. How old do I have to be? It doesnt really look legit. I really care about my education and I really want this(homeschooling) to work out.
