Blue Coral asked:


If a family is not wealthy and living on one income, how do they afford to homeschool their children? Do they get a stipend from the state government per child? If so, does that differ according to state? What about Minnesota, where I live? Is there a website with this information on it?

Thanks!

Starfall asked:


I just heard something this weekend that one of the states (I think California) has just passed a law that you must be a certified teacher to homeschool your children. Has anyone else heard this? If it is true, how is this going to affect homeschooling laws/criteria in other parts of the US?

My Mom is trying to find out how to start a school so she can paid money for home-schooling my sister and I. How do you do that? Does anybody know? She’s been looking online but can’t figure anything out. Help?
Somehow scholarship pays for it. She heard about it.

I’d like to try starting a magazine for homeschooled teens, but I need ideas!

-how to advertise
-how to get contributors
-what kind of stuff to put in; I’ve thought of stories, contests, pen-pals(eventually), articles about homeschool students in the past; feature story about a homeschooled student

Any and all ideas are welcome!

Susan T asked:


I am thinking about home-schooling my children, ages 7 and 11, and I know there are different curriculum’s for homeschool. I don’t know where to go to find out about homeschooling resources or how to compare the different programs. In addition, what resources are available to home-school parents? How can you suplement the social aspects, art, PE, and other programs offered in school. I would like to find the program that is right for my children and encorporate all of the additional activities to create a well rounded education for them.

violin_duchess86 asked:


I was homeschooled K-12 and was wondering if anybody knows of articles that are articulate and thoughtful in their opposition towards homeschooling? I have found some, but most of them are simply homeschool hate letters. And of course, the articles supporting homeschooling are full of nothing but praise. I really don’t want to get into the ‘homeschool/abusive household’ thing becuase it simply is not valid homeschooling. Any help would be much appreciated.
