Are You Fed Up with the public School System?

Answer these to find out if you should do Home Schooling.
Are you:
1. An at home Mother/Father (If younger students)
2. Have a computer with internet.
3. Have time to help the child do their homework.
4. Have you been fed up with the answers you are getting from      the school?
5. Are you tired of your child getting picked on?
6. Have you tried taking on the Department of Education through all of the levels to get an out of boundary school change.
7. If so, and no results. Would this be in your childs best interest?

Most times home schooling is accredited but, be sure to look at the website that offers it for its accredidation. If it is, then your child should be within the limits of the law, and gaining the necessary curriculum. Homeschooling does incur a cost associated with it. Usually it costs monthly for the child to attend online. The most valuable time for a child to be homeschooled, is when they endure the worst during their teenage years. As such, it costs less as they don't have to be taught to read or write; rather it is more for their own ability to follow the curriculum. If they have an issue the parent would be able to help understand an assignment better. It also allows the child to submit their work at their own pace.

Home schooling takes more effort from parents than does traditional schooling. Also, the child attends the  public schools mostly at no cost. However, it does not mean that the child is getting a valued education either. The D.O.E. does do investigations on public schools, if you file a complaint with them. Yes, even on cases with IEP mishaps. IEP is a federally funded program and failure for the school to utilize the funds appropriately for said children, can result in an investigation from the State Attorney Generals office. If your child is the target of a bully, and you find that the school is no help, then contact the D.O.E. and ask for a complaint form. They need to investigate why your child is being put at risk, and since there is a law in place, schools have to protect your child!

You should always contact an advocate to help you get to the resources you need. We have materials on IEP, and other areas of concern.
