Jayson Brod: homeschool can be anything you want it to be. i was homeschooled from kindergarten to 7th grade, but it can start at preschool to 12th grade. basically like regular schoolthere are many different curricula you could use...i used ABEKA, which is a strong Christian one..but there are a lot of programs out there. there is no store that just sells homeschool stuff...its more complex than thatlook up in google 'homeschooling info'. homeschooling is like a private school in your own home, with your mother/whoever as your principal/teacher.again, the typical day can vary on the program you're using and also your learning/teaching style. benefits:if a child needs extra help in a subject, or needs to go at his/her own pace, homeschooling is good for thatnegatives:social aspect...around where i live, there are a LOT of homeschool co-ops...im sure you could find one.

Arlen Hamper: I'm not in Canada, but your local school district web site may conta! in some starting points. Also, look for a Yahoo Group for your area.The age you start depends entirely on your child. The age they must be "registered" as a home schooler depends on local laws. You need to find the laws relating to when they are "required" to be in school. Ending again depends on your child/you. Do you feel your child would benefit from the local school program or home schooling more? Some children never attend a conventional school and others decide that attending at the high school level would benefit them. Others (like my own) started in school and have been brought home to allow them to learn at their level. Whether they return will be something my husband and I will consider on a year by year basis.There is no one good web site! It is constant research for materials/ideas. The typical 'school' day can vary as much as any day. Sorry, but it can be as diverse as the students themselves. That's the joy of homeschooling. I found a good book that has helped! : "The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child" by Linda Dobson! . She has several others that I have not read, but this one really helps get into the idea of home schooling.For us (again this will depend on you more than anything else)Pro: A curriculum that matches my childs level and needs, that varies based on subject matter and interest.Con: I have 3 very active young children in my home with me all day with little time for myself.Pro: I have 3 very active young children in my home with me all day to love and nurture as a mother should.Con: My home is never quiet except in the middle of the night.Pro: The joyful play of children rings through my home all day long.Con: I stress over whether my children are learning enough.Pro: Every day is a learning day for my children and no opportunity to teach is lost because they are too tired/bored from school.I'm still working on this list, but I think no matter how I look at it, this is better for my children than an institution that has little or no interest in the individual needs of my chil! dren....Show more
