Online homeschool?
Anyone out there have any insight on this and how it works??? I was looking into it for a fourth and fifth grader………I dont even know if there are any good programs online out there so I may just stick with what I am doing??
The depth and breadth of K12 is amazing! It’s based on the Core Knowledge sequence, with even more thrown in!
*** Edited to add:
Just to clarify, just because K12 is online, does *not* mean that you can just sit your children down at the computer and not be involved. There is still a lot of parent interaction at the 4th-5th level. There is also a lot they can do on their own. With close ages like that, you could get each child their own level of math and language arts, and have them share the other courses: science, history, art, music. With K12, you want the same grade levels for art and history because they are tied together (which is really neat!).
Homeschooling in GA is a totally separate section of the legal code. It is not regulated as a public school. Your children attend public school. Yes, they would like you to think you’re homeschooling your child because homeschooling is known for successfully producing well-educated young people and if they told you it was a public school education your children are receiving you would walk away. You are being deceived.

You need to keep a close eye on your children’s test scores. Most of K12’s student’s test scores are below their public school counterparts. In Colorado for example, they are in the bottom 10% statewide. Http://kunc.org/post/institute-reject-co…
Your only answer is to homeschool them. I mean, REALLY homeschool them.
I live in Alabama so that makes it much more difficult. Money is really tight so we can’t spend a gargantuan amount of money. I’d really like and online homeschool and I have already looked at k12 but they don’t have a program in Alabama. I’ve searched and searched the internet and haven’t seemed to find anything that is inexpensive.
The reason is just all the drama and bullying. Some people say it isn’t good to homeschool because you won’t have much of a social life. But I can keep in contact with my friends via e-mail, facebook, or telephone.
Please help me find an online homeschool for low price with good reviews.
I’d also like if you could give me the steps I need to take and what I need to do in order to start homeschooling. Best answer will be voted thank you.
I’m in the seventh grade and I live in Oxf.ord, Alabama.
You need to sit down with your parents and look at the homeschool laws in AL and what homeschooling is. Public school at home is not the same thing as homeschooling from both a legal standpoint and a practicality one.
I suggest you start with the following article on A to Z, then follow the links to AL specific information.
