Because homeschooled kids are more "sheltered" than public school kids, how do you make sure that they'll adjust to the real world and keep their values?

Has anyone had any experience with Liberty Online for high schoolers? Any suggestions for other distance schooling for high school? I'd like to find a school with a fundamental baptist foundation.

I have a 2 1/2yr old kiddo who I recently bought a couple of Abeka books/flash cards for. I have: Arts & Crafts with Button Bear for 2s Learning Numbers with Button Bear for 2s Letters and Sounds N (actually for 3s) and Letter Picture flashcards. It looks like according to the online order form the only other things I could get that are not marked (optional) for a 2yr old would be the Child Art for 2s and Number Concept flashcards. I plan to get those. Looking in the Arts & Crafts and Learning Numbers book I see on the bottom where it shows what week, based on the 40 week curriculum, to use that activity. The Arts & Crafts starts at Week 3 and the #'s…

Question: Is there a main Homeschooling corporation that governs Homeschooling in America? Does each Church use what is best for their members, as far as resources, contacts, etc?

Hello, we have used Abeka materials in the past, tried other things for a few years, and are now coming back to Abeka (it is such a great curriculum!). We have ordered 6 DVD courses that my 15 and 14 year olds will be using (3 courses each - math, science, english). Everything/everybody else will just be the materials with no DVDs. We are using the Independent Option, not the accredited option. My question is, for those who have used the DVD courses in the upper grades, approximately how long does each class (including both DVD and seatwork) take each day? I am trying to work out a basic school schedule and this would help me greatly. Thank you.

PARENTS, 54 UNIQUE BENEFITS OF HOMESCHOOLING By Joel Turtel April 22, 2008 NewsWithViews.com Parents, is homeschooling the right choice for you and your children? Maybe you think you don?t have the time to homeschool because you work. Perhaps you don?t have confidence in your ability to teach your kids because you never took ?teaching? courses. But consider the alternative. Public schools can destroy your children?s self-esteem, destroy their ability to read, strangle their love of learning, put them in physical and moral danger, and wreck their future. In contrast, here?s 54 unique benefits homeschooling can give you and your kids, as written and explaine…

I plan on homeschooling my child, but it's something I've never mentioned to anyone other than my mother and one of my brothers. Not that I'm ashamed or embarassed, but rather the subject never comes up. My sister (who is not saved) sends her two boys to public school, and my oldest brother (who is saved) has three children who are and will be going to public schools too. Anyway, once my son is old enough, I will begin homeschooling him (Lord willing!!), and I know the questions will start bombarding me from every corner. Not only from immediate family, but extended family too (my cousins, my aunts and uncles, etc.). No one in my family has ever homeschooled, so I guess I…

What Can We Expect under an Obama Administration? Dear HSLDA Members and Friends of Homeschooling: Since the election of Barack Obama as U.S. president, HSLDA has received more than a few calls from both members and nonmembers. Some are quite concerned about the future of homeschooling under an Obama presidency. First of all, let us always remember that ?God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind? (2 Timothy 1:7). He also instructs us to be wise, plan, and be prepared in everything we do. Despite HSLDA?s efforts prior to the election to get an official statement from the Obama campaign regarding their position on homeschooling, w…

EDINBURGH, Scotland - In this age of cell phones, text messages and computer keyboards, one Scottish school has returned to basics. It's teaching youngsters the neglected art of writing with a fountain pen. There is no clacking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewart's Melville Junior School, although there is a full range of facilities for computer lessons and technology isn't being ignored. But the private school's principal believes the old-fashioned pens have helped boost the academic performance and self-esteem of his 1,200 pupils. "The pens improve the quality of work because they force the children to take care, and better work improv…

I was wondering if it is better to register through a school and school at home or actually fully homeschool without submitting work etc to a school of distance ed? Does anyone have an opinion on this. I know it'll depend on what program we want to do but I was wanting to know any pros and cons of each system..... Thanks Blossom

I have been invited by a friend of mine who is part of a homeschool group to be part of their music day on Friday. I am bringing all of my instruments (and borrowing a few I don't have) and get to demonstrate them to the kids in the group. I will be doing the normal band instruments and then my folk instruments as well. I have a hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, bowed psaltry, concert zither, auto harp, pianolyn, hog-nosed psaltry, oh, a few others, too.... I haven't kept up with the band instruments that much, though, except for french horn and some trumpet, so I hope I don't embarrass myself too much.

Unfortunately, I am a single mom. However, I have a great desire to homeschool my son in the future (he is still only a toddler). I am blessed to be living with my mom and my older brother, who have both allowed me to be a stay-at-home mom since the day my son was born. I am actually waiting to test next year, in hopes of entering an ROP LVN program, and perhaps later down the road, I will be able to advance myself to an RN. This is my thought-out plan. To become an LVN before my son is old enough to start school, and then once he starts school, I can work 3-4 nights a week in graveyard shifts. Then I can be home during the day. But here are some prOBlems . . . Will I b…

A great new homeschooling website has been created by a homeschool mom. This website has some very useful features along with a unique time-saving directory and summary of homeschool websites including parents' favorite websites. I love the questions and answers, it is such a help with homeschool questions. It'd also be nice if many of us could help with questions and polls that need to be answered, especially from the experienced homeschool moms! I'm hoping we can acquire a huge network of homeschool IFB moms so we can help, support, and encourage each other. If you know of any other homeschoolers, feel free to tell them also. You can register at: http://www.homeschoolwa…

I was homeschooled for the majority of my life and have no regrets. I am not a recluse or a loner by no means but am not a very outgoing person. My children on the other hand take after my wife who is very sociable. Am I doing my children an injustice by homeschooling? There is no way I could put them in the public school system, but at the same time private schools around the house are way out of my budget.

I was given the opportunity to put Nathaniel into the Christian school that I attended. We have been home-schooling him, and he would be going into 3rd grade at home, but we put him into 2nd grade at school to keep him with his age group. The work he brings home is stuff that he has already learned and is more advanced than this work. His teacher stopped my wife last week and let her know that the teacher will not be sending the reading homework home with him. The first time he read in class, she knew he was at a higher reading level than the other kids. Nathaniel just needs to read for 15 minutes at home out loud from a book that we feel is more his level. I am wr…

So my son's school offering a curriculum by his school. It by an organization called com ittee for children. they say it is a very successful material. Successful on what? believe it is offered in alot of public schools. I never liked teaching kid from material from organizations (hence why I am an INDEPENDENT baptist). I feel the teaching should be done by the heart from the teacher herself - even if she developed a method herself. I feel that she should deal with each child individually and not by materials written by some popular organization. It help shape the child individually. Teaching from a very popular organized materials make me think of communism. yo…

Has anyone used this curriculum before? We have a 7,5, 4, & 2 year old. Our 7 year old is Autistic. We are new to homeschooling, and were wondering what you thought. We have found, through research, that it is definitely the most cost effective in comparison with all of the other well known curriculums. It is KJV, but how well is the material presented, and is it hard to navigate one's way around the material? I was looking through the PACES material of another church member, and found it difficult to figure out what to tell her to do. Thanks.

Yes, I love listening to Bruce. He brought real truth to what it means to be an actual Christian. I really appreciated how he pointed out Platonic and Socrates world views in Christian religion. He's a real life-giver.

Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular. What if there were no hypothetical questions? Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician. What do sprinters eat before a race? Nothing. They fast. Did you hear about the alligator that became a private eye? It was an investigator.
