I want to be homeschooled, but i am not christian is that a problem?

Question

I hate public school so i want to be homeschooled. my parents say it's okay, but i am not a christian is that a problem?

Answer 1

Not a problem at all.

You didn't mention what grade you are in.

I have found it is easier to find secular material for middle and high school.

I suggest the first thing you do and sit down with one of your parents and search yahoo groups for a secular group(or a group of your religious affiliation if you have one) in your area.

There are many secular and non-Christan homeschoolers on the above forums.

Answer 2

Nope, not a problem at all.  Homeschoolers come in all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, and worldviews.  As long as you live in a country where homeschooling is legal (basically, anywhere but Germany), you can be homeschooled.

Answer 3

Not a problem.    You've been listening to propaganda if you think that all homeschoolers are white, rich and  protestant.

  It ain't so.

Answer 4

No, it's not a problem.

There is a myth that only fundamentalist Christians homeschool.  The truth is that people from all groups - including secular - homeschool.

Answer 5

Why should it be a problem?(?!?!)

There are Jewish and Muslim and pagan and atheist and... you name it... homeschoolers. Do you think it makes sense that only Christians would be able to homeschool?

Answer 6

Not a problem at all! You and your parents might have to do a little more searching to find secular curriculum materials (esp. science), but there is plenty out there. There are also many non-Christians who homeschool.

I suggest you go to the library and check out some books about homeschooling, and also look up "secular homeschooling" on the web. You'll find lots of info.

Answer 7

It's not a problem at all. Use books from Prentice Hall for science, Saxon for math, and anything you like for English and language, and something published by Harcourt for history.

Voila.

Answer 8

Christians aren't the only ones who homeschool. I don't believe in god or religion at all, anad I'm homeschooled, and I know homeschoolers who are jewish, budhists, egnostic, catholic, christian... All religious backgrounds, and all political parties as well from conservative to libertarian. I know slow homeschoolers who use materials taiored to a specific learning disability, and I know gifted homeschoolers who are way ahead of grade level and do some amazing things, and I know average homeschoolers. There are so many varying types of people homeschooling! Being Christian is certainly not a requirement. When you go shopping for curriculum, just look for secular materials. Anyone cana do it. Good luck!

Answer 9

Not at all, there are plenty of people who home school that aren't Christian.

Answer 10

It shouldn't be a problem. My school district has an alternative school that "sponsers" home schoolers/independent study. It provides the curriculum and text books for parents.

Answer 11

You do not have to be a certain religion to homeschool. It is, admittedly, more difficult to find secular (not religious) curriculum, but it is not impossible.

Answer 12

not a problem! I'm home schooled but i am a christian. there are plenty of homeschool groups and homeschool books for non-christians.

not trying to sound religious
