Yes, you should homeschool again.
Just because your child scored low in math and reading on the public school test does not mean it is because you homeschooled the child. Many children score low on math and reading who are public and private schooled. I don't know how old your child is but perhaps he/she just doesn't understand math concepts and needs a good homeschool math program. I would suggest Math-U-See; they will send you a free demo CD.
I would also suggest that you check out Progressive Phonics; they offer discounts, some free books, and full scholarships for those in dire situations. This might help with remedial work in phonics and reading.
Your child will probably do a lot better with homeschooling than traditional schooling; you just need to pray, find the right homeschooling resources, and proceed with your calling to homeschool your children. Feelings of fear and inadequacy do not come from the Lord; ask Him to take those from you according to His Word, "For God hath not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
You have a vested interest in your child and will do all that you can to assure that he/she is educated properly. Do not depend on your ability but ask your heavenly Father to help you and He will.
I hope this is helpful.
I think if they are scoring low, I would suggest you try a public or private school.
yes! children who have trouble in PS often thrive in home school. sounds like your heart is telling you. just listen to it! don't be scared! what is there to be scared of?there are home school groups, friends and family to look to for support.set an example.. fear will only keep you from reaching your goals and living your dreams!
as far as placement there is a wide selection of curriculum that provide placement testing so you can find your child's weaknesses and strengths then build from there. also go to your state's Board of Education and get the list of standards for your child's grade level. The list can be your guideline of what you should be setting as goals for your childs activities and lessonplans. good luck!
Sure, home school if you'd like and in those areas where your child is weakest you may need to get some extra support.. the extended family perhaps, friends who are good at maths or english. ry a little intuitiveness. You know your children more than any teacher does and therefore can help your child achieve his or her best. Help the child see that all aspects of their lives revolve around reading and maths but make it fun. Also no two children are the same so while one may have struggled the other may excel. It's good that you have doubts because this means that you are looking out for your children's best interest. Use the knowledge gained from your first homeschooling abd build on it.
I was home schooled and their wasn't nothing great about it. If you want your kids or other kids to get along with other kids. then send them to a good school.. Because some people that home school really don't home school... But Its better for the kid,child to be with other kids,child their age...
Kids learn better from adults than they do from other kids.
Our reason for home schooling was because our son was not learning in the public school. My step daughter graduated from public school without an education. She has a diploma, but she reads and writes at about a 6th grade level. We saw the same thing happening with our son with being passed from grade to grade without an education.
Middle school and high school teachers do not have the time for individualized caring and tutoring. You, as mom, care more than any teacher could care. You should know your children better than any teacher could know them.
If you must send them to public school, don't kick yourself. You have to do what you have to do, but I feel that home school gives a better education.
Definitely!!
It will be good in the long shot.
Why are you afraid to? You are a single parent which means that you can school them while you aren't working. This can be anytime during the day or on weekends. It's so much fun to not have a schedule that is 8am-3pm. I love homeschooling my child! We do school all the time even before bed if she suddenly gets an itch to learn how to do a math problem or learn about something.
Say your child is in 3rd grade but isn't in 3rd grade math yet...then you can do 2nd grade math while doing the rest of 3rd grade subjects.
Good luck and of course if you feel you should homeschool then you should! Don't let anyone tell you that you won't have time. I worked 40+ hours a week/ graveyard shift, homeschooled a 3rd and 5th grader, and ran our household while my husband was gone/ he's in the Army. You can do it if you put your mind to it!
I operate an umbrella school for homeschoolers and I have noticed that many times people are harder on homeschoolers that have children who have a difficult time learning and they excused children with the same difficulties in public school. You sound like you need a support system to back you up in your homeschool efforts. I would suggest finding an umbrella school that works with students who have learning difficulties.
I was in PS and also scoring low in reading and in math. Because I scored low the teacher would pitty me, yet ignore me. My public school teachers would not help me when I asked and therefore I gave up in school. I'm now 18 and homeschooling. Since I did not get the help I needed I did not graduate this summer. I had asked my parents before to take out of school but they decided that I needed to try harder. Well, I tried and tried, and now look where I am. I am smart and can do many things like play several instruments and write poetry and stories, too. The only problem with PS is that I needed to do things at my own pace and if you are too slow in PS the teacher dosen't have time to sit down with you one on one. I will be homeschooling through Penn Foster High School. The only reason why my parents are letting me do this is because I am now 18 and paying for it myself. Although, they did say that if I got my dimploma they would give me back the same amount of money that I used to pay for my school. Since I do plan on getting my diploma I will use the money my parents will give me after I get my diploma to start college with Penn Foster College.
NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you are going to ruin your children's lives. let them be like other kids and go to either public or private school. unless you live in the middl of no where
my opinion is if they are behind then they will only do better with home schooling they are not behind because of your homeshhooling sometimes these things just happen ,chances are they are behind because they would rather be behind and have it easy watchout for this, i was homeschooled all my life and i started junior college at the age of 17 and i am by no means a scholar and in public school i would never have been able to grad. at 16
Was there ever a cause found why your child tested low in these areas? Is it because of HSing or because there is an actual LD? Are they doing better in PS then when they were HSing? If they are doing better in PS, you might want to consider leaving them there. You can also HS and use tutors for the subject in which your child has trouble with when you are the teacher. Maybe if you HS you could try a different approach to these subjects, maybe go with a more school like atmosphere if that is what your child responds to better. There are so many things to consider, only you and your family can decide what is going to be the best avenue to take.
Definitely. Kids learn better with one-on-one tutoring (especially with a parent who knows them inside-out!) than with impersonal teachers who barely know them.
Do what your heart tells you--especially if your kids agree.
You know your children the best, have the highest hopes for them, and will work harder than anyone to make sure they get the most you can give them. 30% of children in public school can not read at a second grade level by the time they graduate. I do not know a single homeschooling mom (I am sure there are some out there, but I do not consider them homeschoolers) that would let one out of every three of their children not learn how to read at a second grade level before they graduated unlees they had a severe learning disability. So, therefore, as long as you can do that much, you are already ahead of public schools. The rest will come. Also, remember that there are many children in public schools that score just as low on those tests, but they are just sent to special classes to get one on one attention. What better way to teach them than with complete one on one attention?
