The HomeSchool Group

Does anyone know if Public schools offer free home schooling? I know that some schools only do home schooling if your pregnant or just had a surgery done.

i have been homeschooling my kids since november. i realized it is very expensive to do this. i thought about enrolling them back into public but an online charter school. it is free but they will be back in the system again and i don’t really want that. help please!

i was looking in to it and had some questions.
1. i am not christian. this is a christian program and i am an atheist. i was wondering how much is religious based. is it so religious based that the curriculum is different than a public school’s curriculum? i am an atheist only because that was the way i was brought up, i didn’t chose not to believe in god. i am very open to all religions and i was actually considering this religion based program because i never had the chance to go to CCD or church like all the other kids at school. i thought this program might enlighten me more than if it were non-religion specific.
2. for basic subjects (english, ss, math, and science) how long (about) did it take to finish each course? did the course provide enough curriculum to take up the whole school year? or was it more quarterly and you needed to take more than one course to finish the year?
3. on the site, when you go into the “home school curriculum” you select the grade and than it shows each subject. for example under math there are 3 different curriculum you can chose frome. do you have to take all of them by the end of the year? or do you just chose one to do for the entire year?
4. how did you do physical education?
5. (lastly) How much do you need a parent to help? like, is it manditory that there is a parent supervising, or is it just that if the kid needs help the parent should step in and help them understand it more?
i know this was so long and im sorry. but thanks for any info!

a very inexpensive school might be exceptable also.

I home schooled my son for 2nd grade this past year. He is about to go back to public school. I have some text books, math manipulatives, and other teaching aids I would like to give someone who really needs them and can come pick them up. Anyone interested?
