Found some really good online companies that provide excellent curriculum as well as online based testing, exercises, and information. I've known many people home-schooled and all the crap about lack of social capabilities is flat out wrong. They still play with neighbors, family, etc, and will go to a university at some point. Difference is their capability to learn at their pace in their comfort, learn how to self manage, learn more with one on one interaction with teacher (parent), and finally they never worry about various potentially negative interactions at typical schools. |
Some states have online courses that can be taken as a home schooling opition. The only problem with home schooling the parent and the child have to be motiviated. (Wisconsin has it own public online school, something I wish I had when growing up.)
My brother was taken out of school and home schooled because they kept trying to get him on ridlyn even though the problem he has was food allergies and we informed them of what he could and couldn't eat and they allowed him to eat what caused him to act up. We finally took him out and informed the state we were taking him out (so they lost the funding for my brother) We put him back in his Senior year in High School he graduated a year a head of everyone.
