Homeschooling
Does anyone here homeschool.. How does it go, do you use an online program or books.
Have you ever heard of "Life of Fred" or LOF.
I homeschooled for years and I just got my Master's in Teaching from USC. There are so many different options out there for you to choose from and you just need to pick the one the one that best suits your lifestyle and your child's learning needs. I'm sorry for the vague answer, but I don't want to recommend something that would be wrong for you guys. However, I do support homeschooling 100% and if I can be of any help, let me know!
I homeschooled my daughter. We opted for all online schooling. I researched several and switched schools after her first year. I just homeschooled for her high school years (grades 9-12). She loved it. She could interact with other students. If she had trouble with anything she could email the teacher. If several students had trouble in the same areas the teacher would skype with the students. It was like a classroom. My daughter graduated early. She is now about to graduate college. The only hard part for her was transitioning from a self paced study to a regular classroom pace. She adjusted really well though.
We took our granddaughter out of school because of bullying. She has FM, anxiety, and is dyslexic. Public school was a terrible fit for her.
There could be multiple reasons that in school learning does not work for some and only communicates with some, which teachers having pets in their classroom. Also there is so much bullying from other children that gets ignored by teachers and other staff. It is awful. Check children's phones to see what messages they are receiving from texts as other students feel they are invisible and can do such bad bullying to another child as most parents don't check to see if their child is bullying another child. It is horrible. If the child does well with another school and another teacher, the child is showing a response to the stimuli or the lack of stimuli around them. If you want to homeschool that is a good option. Also, as far as socialization, there are outside activities that they can participate such as cheer, soccer, softball, etc. However check with other parents in the area and see who they recommend. The smaller groups are home games only and have smaller groups where travel ones are a lot larger and children say they feel lost in the sea of too many. Continued...
I've been homeschooling my son for 3 years and he prefers it. We use Connections Academy and I've been very pleased with the support they offer and the curriculum. Good luck
