Answer 1

hi

im 15 and i was home schooled from about year 8 too, i was bullied, i thought home education was great at first but i started to get behind with my work and lost contact with friends and it all came to be very depressing, if you choose to educate her at home make sure she works hard but mostly keeps contact with all of her FRIENDS.

this is how my mum took me out of school in bristol, she wrote  a letter to the school just befor the end of term, telling them i would be home educated. you dont not have to tell any one else  just make sure she's off the school register and she all yours!

there is a thing called the l.e.a who can check up make sure she is on track with her work , if any one tells you to jion with them DO NOT as all they will want to do is send her back to school.

also you hmschl kids get discounts with things like ice skating for 2.50, free cinema tickets a ect, i went ice skating every friday where i meat bout 15 home schooled children about my age! so thats great thing to do,  

if you need any more answers just ask because we know everything a bout home schooling

HOW TO START

The first thing you should look into is the home schooling laws for your state.  Laws vary and you must know what is required of you when you become your child’s educator.  We hope you’ve found a local home schooling support group already.  Check with them to see what they’ve learned regarding legal issues in your state.

In some places there are requirements that you inform the government of your intent to home school in order to avoid truancy questions. In some areas you may declare your home a private school and thereby be exempt from government interference. In other areas, you must be supervised by a cover school.

There is actually an organization called the Home school Legal Defense Association that can be very beneficial to you as a new home schooler.  Check out their website at www.hslda.org to get information on legal issues that face home schoolers.  Specific state requirements can be found here as well.

If your child has been attending public school, you’ll want to notify the school – in writing – that your child will be switching to home schooling.  Notify them as soon as you’ve made the decision.  By conveying this information in writing, you’ll avoid any problem with truancy laws in your state.

If your child has never been enrolled in your school district, no notification, registration, or reporting to anyone is necessary. Hard to believe, but true.  If you’re uneasy about this, however, feel free to contact your local school district and let them know you are a home schooler.

Once your child has been officially withdrawn from the school system, public education system officials (including the Board of Education, the superintendent, the principal, and teachers) have no jurisdiction over your home schooled child.  

School officials have no right, without a court order, to enter your home, or to review your lesson plans, assignments, or curriculum materials.  Home schoolers are not required to provide any such materials at any time.

In the event that you haven’t already found a support group, we strongly urge you to make this your second step in the process.  Most areas will have at least one local group you can turn to and become a member of.

Generally, support groups offer encouragement and help along the way. They can help with choosing curriculum, record keeping, meeting the state laws, and providing opportunities and activities for your child.

The website about.com provides a great list of support groups by state.  The web address is:

http://homeschooling.about.com/od/suppor...

This is not a comprehensive list, but it’s a great place to start!

There are so many other issues that need to be addressed in getting started home schooling your child.  Each of these is important enough to deserve their own chapter in this book, so we’ll address each issue individually.

After you’ve taken care of the legal stuff, you need to focus on your child and helping him or her make the transition from public school to a home school.  In home schooling circles, this is referred to as de-schooling.

Answer 4

It depends on where you live.

Answer 5

I guess it depends on your state's/country's laws. Maybe add details about where you are and people might be able to help you a bit more. Check the link below. I will be adding a section about state laws sometime in the near future, so add it to favorites and then check back sometime. It doesnt have a whole lot of information right now, but after I add everything I want to it should be a pretty big website.

Answer 6

It sounds like you must be in the UK. The links on this page will help you find out the laws as well as perhaps connect with others in the UK who are homeschooling.

Answer 7

This is common in schools. Schools don't do anything about the bullying becuase NCLB law states that  the schools get more money for the less disclipline issues.

So even though the bullying happens, the school doesn't do anythign about it so there won't be any proof of problems, so they will get more money.

This is causing more bullying,  hence the killings and shootings.

As for taking her out of school, ask the superintendent office how to 'withdraw' her from school.

Then go to your state dept of education website and look for the homeschool laws. This will tell you what to do to start homeschooling.

Answer 8

the people who bully her are seriously disturbed.

what kind of horrible school is this??

take her out for home school, but try to take her out to special community programs where she can interact with other people like her and make friends.

places like the JCC is very good for her. I do community service  there for kids with special needs. They love it and they feel so comfortable there.
