Hey tokenadult, are you homeschoolers for primarily religious reasons, or primarily non-religious reasons? If the latter, please consider writing up a blogpost or a comment here about your experiences, what works/what doesn't, what's your view on the "but won't they lack social interaction", any regrets etc.
(I don't mean to offend you if your reason is religious by the way; it's just that I suspect not many people here will share it).
I'm a fresh parent, living in a country where homeschooling is lawful, but very difficult to arrange, and viewing with dismay some of my options a few years down the line.
- tokenadult 17y agoMy reasons for homeschooling are mostly for better academic challenge. (One example: my oldest is now able to be dual-enrolled at our state university at the age of a twelfth grader, taking the upper division abstract algebra course and the algorithms and data structures course for his "high school" program.) I have changed in religious point of view over the years, and my personal website reflects a point of view that is not my current view. By working from my name (ascertainable from my HN profile) to my personal website via Google you'll find my large website on homeschooling, Learn in Freedom (oh, well, I just told you the name), which is NOT current but is nonetheless informative. My oldest son would like to bring the web technology on that site into the twenty-first century, as I would like to bring some of its facts and figures a decade more up to date, but it will do for a start.
