Dec 23rd
Question by L. Ron: What can I do about teacher recommendations for private school if my child is homeschooled? My daughter wants to apply to a private boarding school, but she needs a school report and Math and English teacher recommendations. She is currently being homeschooled and I don’t know what I should do about this.

Ways To Help Prepare Your Homeschooled Child For Their College Tests
Nov 13th
One big concern about parents who choose to homeschool their children is making sure that they did a good enough job with their child’s education. No parent wants to go through the effort to find out they didn’t give their child the tools needed to go on to college.
One very important part of college acceptance, especially when you are homeschooled, is having quality scores on the ACT and SAT. These scores indicate that you learned what you should have learned during the high school years. If your child gets a high score on these tests, being homeschooled or lacking official More >
Teaching a Homeschooled Child to Speak French
Nov 9th
With the increasing popularity of homeschooling, parents are having to increase their base of knowledge every day. Being a homeschooling parent means taking on a lot of responsibility. One of those responsibilities is providing an education that is well-rounded. Teaching your child to speak French can be of enormous benefit. This language is not something they’ll only use when they’re on vacation. In fact, because of the global nature of the business world and the Internet, there is more demand than ever for people who speak multiple languages in the workforce, and being one of them is a significant advantage.

What kinds of social activities are your homeschooled children involved in?
Nov 1st
Multi-part question: Are most of the activities with other homeschoolers or are they community programs? Did your children add to the number of activities as they got older? Can you estimate the amount of time your children spent/spend with only you and immediate family at home?
My kids are still quite young and only my dd is currently involved in extra-curricular activities, although both kids participate in a variety of homeschooling activities–parties, pot-lucks, get-togethers, play dates, weekly park days, field trips once a month… I’d love to see the variety of activities and how age may be a factor in the More >
Is there a market for tutoring homeschooled students online?
Oct 23rd
I wonder if there is a need for tutors for students that are homeschooled. If you were to get a tutor for your homeschooled child how much would you pay for something like that?
Do you think that homeschooled children will lack the social skills to interact with the rest of society?
Oct 17th
I have been homeschooling for 7 years. In my opinion I think my kids are doing well socialy amoung other kids thier age, both homeschool and those who are enrolled in traditional schools. I do however notice that some kids outside our homeschool circles, are more disrespectful, use quite a bit of foul language, talk more about sex, ect. at an earlier age. Do traditionally educated children have more social skills than homeschooled children? Or are tradional school children just over exposed to SOCIAL PROBLEMS?
I am curious about what others think.
