Fannie Collingwood: go for it u dont dersive that kind of treatment . i know people that have been home schooled there whole school life and they have done alrite the only problem is that the loose a lot of soaial skills espicaily if you are issolated on a farm or something like that and some times i hard to keep motivated with there work
Karl Samiec: Yes! Go for it. The very rudeness of the attendance officer attests to what kind of social skills that are being demonstrated at that school. To quote you, "you get fussed at" and "you get yelled at." I'd be tired of it too.
Joesph Smithmyer: Ya know, if I would of had this choice when my children were small, I would of done it...My Grandchildren are being "Home schooled"and I can see the wonderful results...Both granddaughters test with a higher score than they should be at...My son & his wife have done this FOR their children...I now view this as a wonderful gift...I was VERY against this at first, but I quick! lychanged my mind when I could see what actually does go on....the children still get that social stimulation they might miss, going to school...My advice...DO it...You will not be sorry....signed:the proud Grandmother of home school children....Show more
Sharron Salin: It's really one of those decisions only your family can make. CL is a private Christian online school, so you have to pay for it. It's a good curriculum with a decided Calvinist view. Virtual school requires parental participation, even if you don't understand the material. As a private school how much help is CL going to give you? Is that doable? At 16, he should have some say in what he wants, otherwise you could end up fighting him every step of the way. Or are you buying a curriculum-in-a-box and responsible for the instruction and outcome? You do not have to live near a virtual school. Does it have to be Christian? There are public schools, like Connections Academy that are public school! except in your home. In some states, they are paid for by the! taxpayer. As a public school they have to meet all the same requirements as any other public school in your state. I'm also partial to the University of Nebraska's correspondence high school but it's pricey. They'll look over his transcript and make recommendations. If you google 'your state' and 'virtual schools' many will pop up. Just be aware that private and religious online school are generally not regulated. Some, like CL and the U of Neb are excellent, others you don't want to deal with. http://www.connectionsacademy.com/home.aspxhttp://highschool.unl.edu/There is a difference between homeschooling and these schools. By legal definition, CL and the U of Neb are private schools. Connections is a public school. Different sets of laws. Homeschooling is still a third set of regulations. They are all different legal options. You can find homeschooling regulations for your state athttp://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com At 16 his curriculum should reflect his li! fe goals and fulfill the requirements that are necessary for his continuing education. Lot of things to consider when selecting an education. Good luck to both of you....Show more
Violette Vanek: I am sorry about your son.I think he gonna be okay soon:)May you don't need to be worry,may he really missed some lessons,I think the teacher will give him some helps.And he could learn by himself while he could not go to school!Good luck!...Show more
Jonathon Labonne: Not unless you want to deprive him of a social life. At that age, interaction with his peers is crucial.If you are not happy with the way the school treats you, which, by your description is very rude and would send my blood boiling, file a complaint, but do not take your son out of his surroundings.
Delphine Cajka: I home schooled my son for five years and he learned more during that time than he had learned in the 4 1/2 years in a private (costly) Christian school. And he didn't have to put up ! with a bully of a teacher anymore. He just went back to school at the ! insistence of my husband. He is back to learning things in a hodge-podge manner and is very frustrated with trying to learn from disorganized, unstable teachers who allow other students to talk during tests, etc. I wish with all my heart that I could have kept home schooling him. Pray about it, and do what you feel is best in your heart for your child. Their childhood is too short and too precious to be spent in an uptight, hostile environment....Show more
Hyo Hardell: I'm sorry your son has been sick, I hope it wasn't the H1N1 flu. I know of quite a few people who have started homeschooling their children due to the H1N1 flu in public schools.Homeschooling is probably one of the best things that you can do for your child. If you go through that academy, he might even get to participate in some activities.Many colleges have excellent scholarships available for homeschooled students....Show more
Deangelo Marchak: Public schools for the most part are in it for! the tax dollars, not for the education of the child. Most schools have a handful of teachers that are in it for the love of teaching and seeing their students grow to productive members of society. If you want to homeschool your son, you need get put your heart in it too and research the sites below so that you can take advantage of the opportunities. My son and I have and it has worked out great.1. CollegeBoard.com-learn about AP, CLEP, dual credit2. MathTutorDVD.com-advance your math skills3. AcademicEarth.org-online free video from major universities4. your local community college website for dual credit online coursesMy son has used all of these and will graduate high school with more than 1/2 of his Associates requirements saving me a ton of money and probably will earn him a great scholarship. Also, the helped his science team to win the state science championship this last year.Good luck and work hard; otherwise, it is all for nothing....Show more
