Homeschooling

I dont know i always want to send my kids into a normal school coz for one they get to socialized with other kids and learn their potentials and discover their talents. And two they have the confidence when it comes to being a better person than the others. Kids needs to explore the world outside and to teach them how it hurts and how to mend that pain.

Some of the best advice that you can get is this: 1. Decide what you think your child needs to learn and compare this to what your state says your child should learn so you can ensure that you are covering all bases in terms of math, language arts etc. 2. Talk to your partner and see if you can come to an agreement. Homeschooling will likely FAIL if you cannot get their support. It takes both parents being committed to homeschooling to make it truly work. Children cannot play their parents against each other, especially in their education and have the best results. 3. Be willing to follow your child's lead. Some children learn to read at 3 others not until they are 7. Be willing to shove aside the "norms" that are laid out and work with your child at their level. Many people who homeschool discover that their child who would typically be classified as a 5th grader can read at a 7th grade level, can complete successfully 8th grade math but are lacking at a level of only 3rd grade science for example. There is nothing wrong with this, but be willing to adjust the expectations you have to help your child excel where they are talented, and spend plenty of time on those areas where they need more help. 4. Make the time for your child to get outside and interact with other children. Whether it is a sports team, dance classes or even just playdates. Your child needs to know that they are able to interact with different children from a variety of genders, races, religions, and ethnic groups. This will typically help them to be the best they possibly can be, while giving real life experience that a lot of other children miss out on. 5. Understand that you are going to forget a few things at some point. A parent simply cannot remember everything that there is to teach. You are going to forget something at some point. You will catch your mistake at some point and have time to correct your mistake before it causes your child serious harm. They will recover from the mistake and you will be proud of them and yourself once it is done. 6. The best classroom is the real world a lot of times because your child can view things as they happen. An eclipse is a great science class, catching bugs can be an awesome science class, a trip to the grocery store can be awesome for math, a trip to a bookstore or library makes a great language arts class etc. Getting out away from standard textbooks is something that helps a lot of children to be quite successful at the material that is presented. Hope this helps some!

I homeschooled my children for 2 yrs and really the only secret I can say that there was for us was my following their lead in HOW (methods) I taught them...Some ppl like to homeschool in a structured fashion, others semi structured etc however what worked for us was UNschooling which is a very laid back method of teaching...and it worked out beautifully....

I don't have kids myself, but I think I can help in your situation. Are you more concerned about violence breaking out in your area? Or the extent of education the children would get? What if the kids went to public school and when they come home, you can talk about what they learned? Then if you feel they didn't learn enough, you can teach them the stuff you want them to know. That would be a nice compromise between you and your partner.
