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!

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?

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.

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.
