Homeschool curriculum starting at preschool? (preferably non-religious)?
Aug 31st
I am interested in trying to homeschool my toddler, and if it works out possibly continuing to homeschool him later. Does anyone know of any good homeschooling curriculum that starts with toddler/preschool and continues on. Also, I would prefer something non-religious (especially in the sciences), since I want him to learn about evolution and not creationism. Thanks. I should clarify…I have no problems with a Christian program, as long as it teaches evolution and the sciences as they are taught in the public schools. Additional Christian lessons about faith, etc, are no problem. Thanks.

How much TV do your homeschooled children watch?
Aug 28th
There seems to be a growing belief in this forum that homeschooled kids spend a large portion of their days watching TV or playing video games. If you homeschool your kids, please share how much time they spend on average each day or what their limits may be for a week.
For us, our kids are usually not allowed any TV, videos or video games during the week. They are usually allowed one video on the weekend and some video game playing time–30 minutes each Friday evening and then again on Saturday. So, they don’t even actually watch any TV (cable) More >

Homeschooling in high school?
Aug 28th
I’m looking at homeschooling for the next few years, but the things is, my parents can’t be there full time to “teach me”. As far as I’ve seen on the sites, it’s prevelant that the parents have a huge part in the schooling. I’d like to instead take school fully online and have it be less of a burden on my parents. Is this possible? Is it really necessary for me to have my parents teaching me? And how about sites or online schools that are high quality?
