Do you get paid for homeschooling your kids?
You do. You receive a payment in joy and a deeper connection with your family. You watch with pride as your child concurs obstacles and challenges. You watch them grow and learn and all the while you are rewarded with the knowledge that you have been instrumental in helping your child to prepare for adulthood. These things are priceless. As for mere money? You will put out a whole lot more than you bring in but it is worth every penny you invest in your child’s future.I did however teach at a homeschool co-op and received a small amount for each student.
Can i start homeschooling tomorrow?
I live in the state of North Carolina and I've been thoroughly researching laws on homeschooling in this state. I understand you have to send a Notice of Intent to DNPE, 30 days ahead of time to be on their curriculum. My first question is: 1. Is DNPE an online based curriculum and you attend classes on the website? Or is it a group all over in NC, and they only set the requirements for all home-schools? My second question is, I've never home-schooled before, but i've been thinking about it for years. 2. And what are the motions? How does daily life work? And if I were to not go through an online source, is it possible to use resources from the library, such as history books and the like in order to learn - write papers, do presentations, and such from those? Or MUST I use textbooks? 3. My mom - being the only one that's home all day - would be the one grading my things and putting them on a transcript? 4. Now, the information at the top, I'm speaking about this in regards to a quick answer, which may not come. However, that being said, Is it possible for me to start homeschooling tomorrow, through the local library books, and not attend school - withdraw is the correct term. Keep in mind, I have just moved to NC about a week and a half ago, so I have no grades in the system here yet. i know most of you are going to say "Just give the new school a chance" But I can't concentrate on my school work with all the stress from moving so much, so is it possible to start homeschooling immediately? My parents say this school is better for me because it's a newer school. However, the newer the school does not mean the better it is. The teachers are new to teaching and do not know what they're doing most of the time. But the thing is, I know what is best for me, and they don't seem to understand that I need to just take time off from moving around - which my family does a lot - and take a breather and study at my own pace, not what the "Better school" seems to think. Please, I'd prefer to have websites with things to show my parents how this can work. I really am a trustworthy person and I am an all A's student. In my entire education career, I've only recieved three-four B's. I'm 16, if that affects any answers. Please, help me!
Why do people still hate homeschooling?
I work in a school system and we often have people bring their child to enroll after they've homeschooled for a while. The issues I see most are the following:The parent is not qualified to homeschool. This is acerbated in many states because homeschooling is not regulated. There is no regulated curriculum, no place where the parent is held accountable for the child's progress.The lack of socialization is often problematic as well. These kids falter when introduced to the rough and tumble of normal interactions, whether it is in school or when they enter the work force. A lot of what you learn at school is not found in books. Learning to defend yourself against bullying is something you need to know for all aspects of life.Their knowledge tends to be fragmented. They may know a great deal about one subject, but have absolutely no idea in another. Generally speaking, I find them very lacking in maths and sciences, because those subjects require resources parents don't always have.Finally, in my state, most homeschooling is done for religious reasons, and people who come out of that background are often extremely rigid and judgmental, which, again, doesn't translate well in social or work situations.Now, all that said, there are also parents who have done an outstanding job of homeschooling their children, have given them the socialization necessary, and have prepared them for the skills needed in the workforce. In my particular part of the world, though, they're pretty much outnumbered by the others.

Can my mom homeschool me?
Yes, your mom can homeschool you and she does not need a college degree, especially if it's elementary or middle school grades. Have you asked her about it? Just type in homeschool and the city you live in and you will get lots of info. Also, it sounds very much like you should go see a therapist. Trust me, a good one can help you understand why you are feeling the way you do and then help you overcome it. It may be what is called Social Anxiety Disorder. They often give medication for that, but I am adamantly against throwing drugs at a problem. It is only a stop gap-not a solution! Please talk to your parents or another adult who could act as an advocate for you--aunt, grandparent, school counselor--and get the help you need. Wouldn't it feel so much better to get over this than spend your life hiding from it? I personally know people who have overcome this and worse! Good luck to you, dear!

Where do you hire teachers for your homeschooling children?
Thanks for the A2A.As others have said, most people do not.However, I have known of two cases - one a divorced father, one a family where the Mom had cancer - where families were seeking to hire a fill-in homeschool teacher.One spread the word through friends at church. The other spread the word via a homeschool co-op. Ads in homeschool publications, on websites frequented by homeschoolers, or even in a local paper are other options.But in general, there is not much precedent. Part of the core of what homeschooling is involves parents teaching their children. Thus hired teachers are very rare.
