Can some one help me please?

Question

can some one tell me how to take my 7th grade child out of school and into homeschool her school is giving me a hard time

Answer 1

The school can NOT give you a hard time. THis is illegal. Homeschool is legal and they can't do a thing about it.

They probably are mad because they know they will lose money if you take your child out.

First, find out your homeschool laws for your state here -

http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp

And follow them. FIRST, you have to legally  withdraw your child from school. THEN, just follow what your state homeschool law says to do to start homeschooling.

They just can't do a thing about it and don't let them intimidate you. This is YOUR child, not THEIRS

Answer 2

As long as you have the law on your side the school can't stop you. They can voice their opinion but that's it. Find out what the laws in your state are ( www.hslda.org ) after that go withdraw her and don't take no for an answer. The secretary gives you a hard time then go to the principal or vice principal if the principal isn't there. Good Luck

Answer 3

What state do you live in?  Each state has its own laws, regulations, and process.  

The school will generally give you a hard time - they don't want to lose the tax dollars they get from your child - but homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, and in almost all of them, the school district/board of ed can't do a darn thing about it.

Let us know what state you live in, and we can give you specific advice.  Thanks!

Answer 4

The first thing to do is check out your state law at the link below.

http://www.hslda.org/hs/state/default.as...

Then research the different kinds of homeschooling there are.

There is a list of the different kinds of homeschooling and a description of each at the link above.

Then, see what kind of learning style works best for your daughter.  It also helps to know what kind of learning style suits you, as people tend to teach in their learning style.

Then take that information and put it all together to help you figure out what kind of homeschooling works for your family.

You've made a wonderful decision!  Good luck.

Answer 5

Homeschooling is both difficult on the parent, as well as the child, and past grade 6, is more hazardous than helpful.

The easiest way to fix this situation would be to enroll her in a private school. I'm aware that they are expensive, but at the price of sacrificing your hours during the day for education, it would pay off in the end.

Past grade 6, the education system has changed so much that it's difficult for parents to follow along with the curriculum and keep their child up-to-date on recent activities taking place in the school environment.

Or, possibly, if you're having problems with just one teacher, switch classes by meeting with the principal?

I had this situation two years ago, my mom visited the principal, and I had a transfer. It worked out quite well, but, you'd have to make sure that she got caught up on the work that has already been assigned in the class that she would be switching to.

Hope this helps = )

Answer 6

She can go to her councelor @ school and talk to them about it.

they will give her tons of information about it.

i did this and now i am homeschooled.

what state are you in?

i use connectionsacademy.com

its a virtual public school. [public school online]

they don't have it in every state, but you can check if your state has it by going to that website.

everything is free. and she will have real teachers online.

so it puts less stress on you teaching her.. btw she does it right at home on the computer.

goodluck
