Home School Me!

twinkly_k asked:


I have worked as a professional tutor for ten years. I am interested in receiving my homeschool teaching credentials. Where should I start looking? Any suggestions for good schools? I am located in the Los Angeles area. Thank you!

They cannot talk about educating the children because by now everyone knows, even though they are only a small percent, that home schooled students are winning all the spelling and geography bees, and that they are getting into the best colleges and graduating with honors. They also know that public schools do such a poor job of teaching that students fail to learn good study habits they need to do well in college and they are graduating from high school unable to read their diplomas.

By any standard it is obvious that home schooled students are far better educated. Therefore, the naysayers talk about learning social skills because social skills are almost impossible to qualify and measure. It makes you wonder how, when the country was lightly populated and most people lived on farms, how their great great grandparents and men such as Washington, Jefferson, and the other founding fathers ever developed social skills.

However, my current home is a mobile home and it is not big enough for a classroom. There are several grants available for non-profit Christian organizations, which I hope to create, BUT would I be able to use the grant money to buy a bigger modular home to put on my property in order to give kids who are depressed, emotionally unstable, or have a hard time in public school a safe environment to come and learn with out charging them anything.

Just wondering if homeschool groups pool their money together to get tutors to help with writing, math, etc. I am a certified teacher with 25 years under my belt and a Masters in Education. Was wondering if I should contact my local homeschooling group to “sell myself” at $25 and hour.

I know about Calvert, I heard about Robinson…what are some of the other well known Curriculums. I researching write now and am looking for a easy to follow program. I’m new at this and I don’t want to waste time this year in putting a curriculum together while my daughter waits around. Maybe after a year of following a homeschool program and getting in to the groove of things, I can make my own for next year.

What’s your opinion? Have you heard of the Calvert Curriculum? What is it like? or what are the other curriculums like?
spelling mishaps: I’m researching right now….
