School experiments with 'No-tech Tuesdays'
A private school group in Connecticut is imposing a moratorium on the use of technology every Tuesday in September.

Homeschooling is legal in every state, but the choice to homeschool should not be made lightly. Research and discussion are required to make a wise decision. How do you tell if homeschooling is right for your family? Here are a few questions to ask yourself when considering homeschooling as an option for your family.


Am I comfortable spending all of my time with my children? One of the main reasons that people homeschool is because they love their children and want what's best for them. They also genuinely like spending time with their children, which is good since you'll be spending all of your time with them. If your children frustrate you easily, homeschooling might not be a good match for you.


Will questions bother me?

Homeschoolers are usually asked a lot of questions. Those questions could be about what curriculum they're using or about socialization for their children. If you homeschool, it helps if you don't mind answering the same questions more than once.


How can I find out about homeschooling?

Check out books from your public library. There is more than likely a large selection of books that will tell you everything you need to know. The librarian might even be able to tell you if there are any homeschoolers in the area, since most homeschoolers rely heavily upon the library for source materials.


Is there a support system available?

After you've read some books, find local homeschoolers, or do an online search for "homeschool groups (your city)" or "homeschool groups (your state)." There are homeschooling co-ops available in many places, as well as opportunities for families to get together and have fun.


What if I have other questions?

After you've found some families that already homeschool, and ask them about the pros and cons of homeschooling. Most families will be honest about their reasons, and will be more than happy to help you make an informed decision. Ask them what types of hardships they had to deal with when starting out. Should you be concerned about socialization for your children? What about curriculum? Do they have suggestions about what to use or not to use?


What curriculum do I choose?

Curriculum choices are astronomical -- in the variety available, and often in the price. While it is possible to have "school at home" by choosing books very similar to what are offered in public schools, it is also possible to homeschool without using a set curriculum at all. The library books you checked out earlier should have explained about the different methods, and should have given you an idea of what your child should learn in each grade.


If you are considering homeschooling your child, or children, answering the above questions should help you make an informed decision. Not everyone will choose to homeschool after investigating the option. However, if you want to be more involved in your child's education, homeschooling might just be right for you.

Homeschooling socialization is by far the most major conflict in relation to homeschooling. The problem is that, by removing your children from the public school environment, you are depriving them of the social development offered by public schools. After all, it would be difficult for a child to develop social skills when they are not given the opportunity to interact with other children. As such, this remains as a huge homeschooling disadvantage.

Is This Best For My Child?

As a parent, a great concern should be placed on your child's social development. Whether they are in the job market or the super market, being socially adjusted will help anybody excel in life. While research shows that there is a homeschooling advantage (in many different ways), losing the ability to learn how to be social is always a disadvantage to any homeschooling curriculum.

This problem, unfortunately, goes beyond losing the opportunity to develop social skills, as children will also lose the opportunity to develop close, interpersonal relationships with other children. However, as strong as these problems are, they can be avoided by extending your homeschooling program to allow for your child to interact with other children. You simply need to expose them to a social environment, such as a public park or a sports league. After all, with all of the advantages homeschooling offers, taking the time to ensure social behavior of your child is a small price to pay in making sure your child develops as a well-rounded individual.

How Can I Start?

If you are interested in homeschooling your child, find a homeschooling resource to create your own homeschooling program. If you want religious teachings to be a part of your child's daily education, find a Christian homeschooling guide, as many are available on the Web if you take the time to do a little research. Additionally, you can choose to use homeschooling software to educate your child by finding a program that offers homeschooling online.

For parents that feel as though they need to speak with someone directly to answer all of their questions, seek out homeschool counseling, as these counselors will give you the resources you need to establish your own homeschool. Finally, be patient, as creating a curriculum is not an easy task.

Remember, while homeschools do not offer the same social environment offered by public schools, the advantages are clear. Because of the amount of time you will have to spend with your child, you will bond with him or her in a way that most parents do not get to bond with their children: education. Additionally, because you set the curriculum, you get to decide what information your child should learn and what information they should not learn.

Finally, you will have the benefit of knowing exactly what your child is being taught, meaning that a public school instructor will not have the opportunity to teach things to your child that you do not agree with. Homeschooling is not right for everyone, but if you feel it is right for your child, then it would definitely be worth your time to look into homeschooling as an option.

Homeschooling is growing by leaps and bounds. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages to educating your children this way. For articles and resources designed to help you with this choice visit

First, let's get one thing straight. Homeschooling is completely legal.


Many parents have concerns regarding homeschooling their children and any legal restriction that may arise. They fear that homeschooling is either illegal or that the homeschooling parent must jump through a series of complicated hoops in order to meet governmental requirements. To some this degree, these fears may be founded, but for the most part, the legal side of homeschooling is simple, at least more simple than the homeschooling itself.


The Constitution does not mention education and on a federal level there is no interference. Education and the laws that govern it falls to the power of the states. Individual states' rights dictate how education is handled, how large a part the Department of Education plays in the process and other legal details. With this being said, homeschooling laws can and do vary from state to state.


Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, but some states make it easier to homeschool your children than others. For example, Idaho and Texas place very few restrictions on parents who elect to homeschool their children. Other states such as Massachusetts and New York are more heavily regulated. These states require that the curriculum used in the homeschooling setting must be approved by the state. The parent must submit achievement test scores and social workers may even perform home visits. Pennsylvania requires that all teaching materials used for homeschooling be submitted to the local school district for review.


Lobbyists and advocates continue in their legal efforts to quash attempts to pass bills that would increase the power of the state to enter the home, interfere too extensively with homeschooling or compel public school attendance. In 2006, many of these efforts were defeated, but most parents need never to worry about their right to educate their children in the way they see fit to ever be taken away. Court decisions regarding education and these types of issues have enjoyed an upward trend that is strongly in favor of them for many years.


Even as early as 1925, the Supreme Court ruled in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that the care and education of the child was not only the right, but the duty, of the parents, not the state. In 2000, Troxel v. Granville made it to the Supreme Court and garnered a landmark decision. Though it was an issue regarding visitation, not education, the principle force driving the decision has been successfully used by homeschool advocates. The Court reaffirmed the rights of parents as fundamental.


The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) was established in 1983 to provide legal resources for homeschooling parents and to fight for the rights of parents who seek to homeschool. The HSLDA tracks legal issues related to homeschooling and has fought many legal battles on the behalf of parents who homeschool. They publish an annual roundup of legislative acts and track any changes that are made by Congress as well as the individual states.


Although the states try to chip away at the rights of parents to homeschool and the federal government even gets in on the game from time to time, the majority of cases that have been brought to court have been settled in favor of parents.


While albeit rare, there have been cases of over zealous social workers who feel it is their duty to "protect" children from parents. Unfortunately, they may do so, even when there is no evidence of parental abuse or neglect. That possibility and social as well as legal issues sometimes make their way into the homeschool arena. HSLDA and others provide resources to parents to ensure that they do not have to deal with such issues.


Parents considering homeschooling their children would be best served to first research the paperwork, supervision and other legal requirements of their individual states. When homeschooling their children, the first schooling needs to start with the parents.

Every parent dreams of giving their child an exceptional education. For many parents this means looking at the different schools within their home areas. For others this can mean looking at a suitable homeschooling program. While there are lots of different types of homeschooling programs that are available each state has its own set of rules regarding homeschooling. These homeschooling laws are worth checking out before you enroll your child in a home school program.

To find out what your local homeschooling laws are like it is best if you know some facts about your state’s policy towards homeschooling. This is due to the fact that some states seem to have no need for documentation from parents or homeschooling programs about their enrollment policies or the subjects that they teach.

When you look for this information on the internet you will find that there are four categories of homeschooling laws. These laws range from no legal requirements about homeschooling to very strict laws regarding homeschooling. At present there seems to be about 6 states where the homeschooling laws are very strict. On the other hand there are 10 states where there is no need for homeschooling laws.

These homeschooling laws are also found in the territories of the US. Since there are many different criteria that states have for homeschool studies there are times when as parents you will need to provide documentation. The documentation will include parental notification to the state about your child’s studying as a home school student.

For the states where the homeschooling laws are very strict the state requires more than a parental notification from the parents. The documents that you must produce are achievement test scores, the homeschool curriculum approved by the state, professional evaluation of your child’s educational progress.

You will also need teacher qualifications of you and your spouse as teachers for your children while they are engaged in homeschooling. Some states may require that state officials visit your home to inspect if the children are receiving a high education. These are just a few of the various documents and other facts that you need to be aware of regarding your state’s homeschooling laws.

Since each state has different rules regarding homeschooling it is a good idea if you can find information about the state laws for homeschooling. The main fact that you should keep in mind with state laws and homeschooling is that before your child becomes a home school student you might need to see what the homeschooling laws are.

Record Keeping is a topic which is frequently bought up at homeschooling meetings and forums, and its importance in the homeschooling curriculum can not be overlooked. Record Keeping for homeschooling is not only legally required in various States, but also provides important goals in your child's learning experience. An interest-initiated homeschooling approach means that the topic of studies is far ranging and diverse. It can become very confusing to write accurate homeschooling reports, due to the interest-initiated approach to learning being so difficult to classify and pigeon-hole.


Record keeping in homeschooling is vital not only for the sake of regulations, but is also an exciting way to record and document the learning process of the child. When most of the learning is done through play and there is no clear indication of topics that have to be covered, it becomes necessary for the parent to keep some sort of a log which records the child's progress.


The method for your record keeping can be as simple as a piece of paper and and as complex as a computer pro gramme- it is completely up to you to decide which method will be more effective. If you are participating in a support group, you most likely have set forms and requirements. However, staying on top of daily assignments and reports will make the process so much more efficient and easily achievable in the homeschooling environment.


The most popular record keeping methods used by various home schools are listed below.


Daily planner:


Lay out the plans and the assignments for the week in a teacher's planning notebook. Check each item as it is covered, and make additional notes if issues arise which might be improved on in the next semester. Maintain a separate area where any additional things can be recorded. This may include educational trips, visits and videos, homeschooling online materials etc. Any extra topics that were covered should also be recorded in this area. Make sure you make a summary at least once every quarter.


Journal:


This can be maintained by either the teacher or the student. This basically aims to keep a log of what was learned and what was done in the homeschooling sessions. No only is keeping a journal of your homeschooling a fantastic way to reminisce in the future, it is also a means to monitor the effectiveness of your teaching and your child's interpretations of the homeschooling process.


Portfolios:


This consists of a collection of diverse materials that display what the child has achieved and done during the course of his/her homeschooling study. Portfolio assessment is a very effective way to chart the child's progress. It gives structure to the otherwise loose and flexible form of schooling called homeschooling. A drawing portfolio will consist of some paintings or sketches that are considered the best in that quarter. A language portfolio may consist of essays, stories, reading-logs, spelling samples or letters. Progress in subjects such as mathematics, fine arts, history, science and social studies can all be recorded in this manner. The biggest advantage is that portfolio assessment places control in the hands of the home schooled child. Having a tangible record of what they have achieved in their homeschooling will only serve to motivate them to achieve more and more.


Conclusion


Other than the above-mentioned systems, there are also purchased record-keeping systems that lay out a great checklist and help to automate the homeschooling process. There is now an abundance of homeschooling organizers and planners available online- do use due diligence when considering homeschooling products- preferable use a recommendation where you can see how effective the product is going to be. Whichever method of record keeping you decide on for your homeschooling, it is an essential part of the homeschooling process and will be beneficial to initiate from the start. You never know, your child's future may depend on this system of record-keeping.
