Hello, I am new to this. I have an 8 yr old daughter who is struggling at school. Teachers and support staff. Are of no help. Have recently spoke with a homeschooling mom she tells me to think about it. I have two older middle schools boys, who do not have the problems she does but do not wish to be home schooled? Please help. I feel homeschooling she would benefit from, Our school here has been in Fiscal emergency for three years and is considered a year behind in education grade, Any advice Delo??
Hello! The very first year that I homeschooled I only homeschooled one child and the other went to school for much the same reasons. Then the next year I decided to keep them both home. You need to make the decision that works best for your family.
Hello and welcome! Some parents only homeschool one child and others all their children. It would really depend on your reasons for homeschooling. My advise would be to research homeschooling and all options for your state. This way you know what you are looking at. Homeschooling is not for everyone but is an awesome adventure for those who do homeschool. Good luck and we are here if you need us. Patty
This is a very personal decision although she sounds like a good candidate. We are all happy to help with any advice or info you may need. The most important thing is what's best for your DD and your whole family. Discuss this at length with your DH and research the homeschooling laws for your state. Most of all I wish you the best of luck with your decision.
It is a hard decision you face....I feel like we were there only yesterday, although it is over 2 years ago now. We only pulled one child at first, and were very worried about how it would go. Only you can make this decsion, but I just wanted to encourage you, because it's the best thing we ever did for our kids. My only regret is not being brave enough to do it sooner.
We have decided to homeschool our 8 year old next year. It wasn't easy but we feel that it is in his best interest. You have to do what's best for you and your family. I will be praying that God leads you in making the decision. Good luck! Jen
It has been the best decision for us. You do what you feel is the right thing to do for your family. There is a lot of Homeschool articles, advice, books, groups ect. to get you started. God Bless.
Though it was what was best at the time, when we had one in the public school and the others at home, it did pull our family in two directions. The public school activities often took precedence over the homeschool activities, even though we only had one there. Sometimes, the public school responsibilities consumed so much of my energy and so many hours of the day that I had little left for the home front. Your decision many rest largely on how cooperative your children would be at home. If they all want to be homeschooled, that might actually be easier for you than keeping up with two or more schedules. On the other hand, if there's opposition, then that's even harder to deal with than competing schedules. I'll weigh in with the others: only you can decide.
