Can you start unschooling halfway through a normal year of school?

Question

the thing is, i really wanted to be homeschooled(unschooled actually) but tomorrow i'm showing my mom all the information. the problem is, school starts in 2 weeks and i have ORIENTATION tomorrow! how long does it take to file for homeschooling?(unschooling) like how long it takes to file an affidavit or something...or whatever i need anyways. um, basically i'm asking if its possible to do one semester of my 10th gr. year then the 2ndsemester start unschooling?

Answer 1

It depends on your state laws. I registered for homeschooling, and the next day I was starting my first day. If your school doesn't actually start for 2 weeks. Maybe you can just skip orientation and while you consider unschooling. Then if you change your mind you could just register late. Just an idea. Anyway, if you want to unschool one semester and go to school one semester that is fine too. You register for school by the semester, not by the year. I hope that answered your question.If I was unclear at all, please contact me.

P.S. Magy- She wasn't calling it "unschooling" just for the fun of it. Unschooling is a real thing. It's a special kind of homeschooling where you don't need textbooks or anything. You learn at your own pace and learn in different ways than just reading. Hope I cleared that up for you..... :)

whaaaaa

Answer 3

Why do you keep calling it 'unschooling'? done properly, it's as much work, if not more, than public schools- it's no vacation.  

Answer 4

By studying at home you may be able to cover more work and get it done without interruptions, working at your own pace - Good Luck, I say!

Try to get permission to switch to Home Schooling and show your parents and the school system how well it works!

Good Luck

Answer 6

You can most likely start any time. I'm not sure what you need to file because I don't know where you live. I would assume that you could start homeschooling as soon as you sent off whatever you needed to. You could even go to school for a few days then start homeschooling. No need to wait until 2nd semester.

Answer 7

Sure you can.

We began homeschooling in the middle of the year.

The form of homeshooling doesn't matter...unschooling, unit studies, etc.

All the best.
