Homeschooling Reviews

Home schooling had been succesful in our family with 4 different children, mostly the early grades attended public or private school to get social development a push. Some others didn't,  all in all the 4 kids that graduated are doing very well. I to started my kids at home but with working 2 jobs and a non participating wife are kids went to public school starting in late elementary and they to are doing fine. I think a lot of it is the parents involvment, it's true don't make your kids strangers make them the very reason you exist on this planet, for it may very well be that's why some of us...

Homeschooling is more than academic advancement. That happens just because it is so hard to avoid learning in the real world. School is more than academics, too. It's a place where children lose their innocence. A place where they are offered drugs, bullied, passed along year after year whether they comprehend what is being taught or not. A place where very few adults care about them. A place where kids learn that to get ahead, they have to flatter, cheat, lie,etc.

Homeschool so kids learn how to really learn. Homeschool so they don't get shot by a crazy with a gun. Homeschool so your kid isn't...

When I discovered last year that my 4th grader had no idea about the various states in the US, and that her teacher was more worried about texting on her cell phone and playing on the computer instead of teaching the class, I decided to homeschool. I now homeschool all of my 3 children and will do so until it's time for them to go to High School.
Homeschool gives you a chance to see what your children actually know and what they don't. You control what they learn and what they don't. You don't need a lot of money to homeschool. You will spend actually less than what you would if they went to public...

           Homeschooling my two youngest sons was one of the highlights of my life. My older three children all attended and graduated from public school. My next to youngest I taught at home from 6th grade through12th and graduated him. My youngest son I taught from 5th grade until 10th grade. (He asked to go back to school in 11th to socialize, meet girls,etc. and we agreed. He made National Honor Society in 11th grade and had no problems readjusting to public school. He scored high on his ACT test and now has been asked to apply for West Point because he has the qualifications they...

I have several examples where home schooling has really proved to be the best option for some kids.  I went to home school for preschool through 3rd grade.  When I got to the private school in 4th grade I was really advanced in comparisson.  I was reading at a high school level, had already gone through two of the text books and was really eager to go back to home schooling.  I was unable to do that, but the experience in home school gave me the educational advantage and the opportunity in the private and public schools gave me the emotional and communicative sides advantage.  I really feel...

I have been a homeschooling parent as well as an Instructor teaching GED students after years of public school and homeschooling and find the homeschoolers are considerably more polite, motivated, diligent and willing to learn.  Even if their schooling has been remiss in some subjects, their relationships with adults is so much more engaged and attentive that they comply and eventually achieve their goals and with a much better attitude. I can't endorse homeschooling enough unless the parents are able to afford an excellent, Charistian private school. Parents who network with others to augment...

Homeschooling is not just education, it is a lifestyle.  For many, one parent gives up a career to stay home with the children to educate them and prepare them for life.  Most homeschooling families are single-income families, and therefore budgets tend to be tighter.  It means that the family has to be really committed to this type of life.

Why would someone choose this lifestyle?  There are many reasons.  For me, it started off with my son, whom is a unique learner.  I was told by the head of special education in our school district that 1) she didn't know how to educate him and 2) he would...
