Question

Can anyone help me start home school a 7th grader?

Answer 2

Answer 3

It's best to do some homework yourself.

Your state may have specific guidelines towards home-school regulations.

Most states have rules regarding the accrediation of the home-school networks.

You can't just pull your child out of school and let them study on their own. You need to be signed up with an accredited home-school school program that has a principal, teacher who reviews your child's work, and place that meets once a week to distribute assignments and administer tests.

Your state may require your child's participation in state-mandated tests.

A good home school will have clear goals with specific lesson requirements and assignments with electives geared towards your child's special interests. A good home school will have all of its accrediation up-to-date and current. A good home school will appreciate your child's special interests or needs and will take into consideration certain factors such as disabilities or emotional needs.

Do your homework and look in to several different homeschool programs and networks before taking the plunge.

Good luck. Not every child does well taking charge of their own education. Many look at homeschooling as a way to get out of going to school and playing hooky every day.

Search online for textbooks and materials for the proper grade level. Set up your lesson plans and make sure you stick with them. Every day for several hours is a must!! Your best bet is to start early and be done around 2 or 3 while taking time out for lunch. It's hard work, good luck!!

Answer 11

Check out www.hslda.org for your States regulations.   Then you can go from there.

Answer 12

Definitely check the laws for your state at HSLDA.ORG. From there, look into many curriculum's. Do not jump at what look goods at first. If you can, get your child involved with picking out the curriculum. There are many different ways about going about it, I would suggest checking the local library on books about homeschooling. That was a huge help for me. There was a book that was hugely helpful to me called "A Mom Just Like You" By Vicki Farris, I would definitely recommend that. If you would like specific recommendations or opinions on curriculum and what has worked for our family, I would be happy to share. Just email me.
