More and more people are turning to homeschool, but is that the right choice for you? Maybe today you will find out if this is something you could do to better the lives of your children. There are so many resources out there that can answer just about any question you could possibly have and I will include a few to get you started later in this article. You may not realize just how many homeschoolers there are out there, let me tell you it is an astonishing number throughout the world. You may ask can I teach my child what he/she needs to learn, will they be able to go to college, and what about state laws?
No one can teach your child better than you, you know everything there is to know about your child, what they can learn, how they learn it, and when they learn it is totally up to you. Colleges love homeschoolers, they have found them to behave better and test scores are excellent. Homeschoolers take Sat’s, etc., just like any other student when it comes to college. There is a website for all those considering or curious, A to Z Homeschool’s Cool(just search for it at any search engine): here you can find answers to just about any question including state laws, and they also have articles about homeschool in the news.
Homeschoolers are making headlines everywhere, including National Spelling Bees, and the political convention going on right now!!! The Homeschool Crossing site posts activities & events in your area specifically designed for homeschoolers. Also a great place to start would be the Egroups site, check them out and join a group with families in your area. This is a great way to meet other families and find out about local happenings. I’m sure you’ve asked, What about books? What do I teach? A few to start with would be ABeka, Bob Jones, Alpha Omega, EPS, and Saxon Math. Also many sites on the internet offer discounts on homeschool textbooks, just search “discount Homeschool Textbooks” and you can find alot of sites for those on a budget who can’t afford to buy new.
