I'm from Arizona and I am 21 years old and have a 6 year old sister who is in first grade. She is really advanced for her age and is in the gifted program and all but I feel like she is not moving at a pace she needs. So I was wondering If i could home school her or does it have to be our mom. And I don't know where to start. Do I notify the school. I was thinking of starting next semester and am trying to do research....Please help if you have any information.

Hi, I'm an Australian teacher and we don't really have home schooling here. It is pretty much frowned upon too.
I was wondering what sort of people home school their children in America and why?
What sorts of academic results do these children get and how does this effect their social skills?

I notice quite a few students (?) making comments and disparaging remarks about their parents and home school. Do you realize how much better you could do for yourself if you made it your goal to excel in your studies? I can't imagine how difficult it must be for your parents to have to deal with your bad attitudes.
Home study is a great blessing -- it can be your best ally for a strong and smart future. Don't waste your time fighting about it --- study and get on with life.
The answers that are pouring in are showing some real progress. Someone asks: "....but how can they offer an entire education? " it seems to assume that 'they' can't offer enough --- it's now time to find out just HOW they do it.--- THAT is my next question so be watching this forum!

I home school my 13 year old daughter. My other children are either at home or in public school. I am wondering if any other parents and students want to start an area association to socialize our kids and share books and software, information. No fees or stuff like that, just concerned parents.

I was wondering do I have to have some kind of training or certificate to do home school for my children? Would that be a good idea? The reason is because this society is so bad that I don’t even want my kids around other kids because they might teach my kids bad things. So is it a good thing. People with experience only please.

I am currently in public middle school. This was my first year in public school! I have been to 1 private school for a year and was home schooled the rest of my life. I hate public school but my parents say I have to deal with it! I am really great with the work(home schooled or not) but they won't home school me. How I am supposed to get my parents to home school me?

If the children are failing in public school, and the parents are receiving food stamps. Is it alright for the mother to quit her minimum wage job to home school 5 kids while still receiving food stamps and medicaid. She would still get this support if she were working.

My parents seemed really against me going to school, but then I asked about this 1 week attendance thing (Im home schooled btw) and it turns out they don't have that (My dad called for information) And I said I wanted to tour the school (assistant principal invited me) and my mom said I might as well make an appointment with the principal instead. Do you think I'll get to go to school?
