Google is your friend. :yay: Just google homeschooling in Maryland.

There are a million different curriculums you can choose from and a million different styles. Home schooling isn't really a one size fits all kind of gig. :shrug:

If you are not educated enough to know all of this than you are not educated enough to be teaching your child. :rolleyes:

Contact the school board in your county. They have the information necessary. Though they may seem "uptight" about home schooling, they do have what you need. My step son got home schooled for two years. tough work.

I am sorry. You said student services were no help at all? What County are you in? Calvert gave us a detailed description package plus different programs, information , etc. This was 5 years ago, but I can not imagine it changing that excessively.

Oh please! Have you ever taken a look at the correspondence written by your kids "educated" public school teacher(s)? There isn't a week that goes by that I don't find spelling and grammatical errors.

Then I'm very glad I'm in the industry I'm in and not in teaching. :lol: My poor niece though - she's just starting out as an English teacher. :twitch:

HSLDA | Home School Laws

Got this link off of the Home School Legal Denfense Association's website. They are an excellent place to start in answering all your questions. I home school in St. Mary's county so you can always PM me with any questions you have.

I never could understand why people home school. Why not let these children learn what its like in the real world. Unless there is a medical problem and they are better off at home. Even then there are special education schools available.

I'm not going to start a whole new argument on why people home school (I think there are plenty of those out there already) but my kids certainly know what the real world is like. They are out in it everyday. Being in school for 8-9 hours a day is not being in the real world. We also talk to our kids and explain to them what is going on in the world.

I am with you Pinky!!!!

More importantly, the home schooled kids lose the interaction of other students (for better or worse). I remember growing up and having school projects in that we had to form teams and work together to accomplish the task - whether it was a report (research in the library as the Internet was not around), science project, etc.

And please don't tell me the kids interact after school. Getting a group of 2-3 to play Playstation is not the same.

Was wondering if you ever home schooled? Do you know all the answers? Everyone has to start out somewhere.

No, which is exactly why my kids are not and will not be home schooled. If you do not have a degree in education you should not be allowed to teach. Period.
