Some Basic Homeschool Information
By Mary Joyce, Sat Dec 10th
Thinking about going the homeschooling route? I’m not aware ofany official homeschooling text book for parents that are outyet. So, here are some basic answers that you may have in thebeginning. The reasons for homeschooling are as varied as thenumber of families now homeschooling. So with the reasons forhomeschooling now behind us, let’s take a look at some of thebenefits of homeschooling as we move forward. A home school schedule allows for the family to be together amuch greater portion of the day and this leads to strongerfamily relationships and this generally will continue rightthrough the sometimes difficult teen years. Also, when parentsspend the entire day around their child they are much more intune with the child’s thoughts and feelings. Behavioral issuescan be intercepted and addressed at a much earlier stage. Also,by using your homeschool schedule and your own homeschool lessonplan, you can spend more time in areas that your child needsmore work before moving on. This is a definite drawback of thepublic system. One area to explore and become familiar with in the prehomeschool stage is your local state laws.

In a nutshell, insome states it is very easy to satisfy homeschoolingrequirements, while in others it is not so easy. Either way, doa little research on this subject because you must be familiarwith whatever the home school mandates are for your area.
When it comes to homeschool curriculum many parents generallytry to purchase textbooks and materials they need. There arehundreds of resources available to you on the subject ofcurriculum. One reminder would be not to overlook the idea offinding what you need in the used books and curriculum arena. Aquick search of the internet will find you many resources. And finally, looking down the road a bit…. What about college? Avery large number of home schooled have and are attendingcolleges. Once you get underway or as soon as you feel you mayhave a direction on a college, simply contact the college andsee if they have any specific rules or requirements concerninghome schooled children. I think the biggest reason to homeschool your child of all isthat it is a wonderful experience. The immense amount of prideand satisfaction you will receive from this accomplishment isbeyond compare.
