[QUOTE="Josie, post: 379696, member: 1792"] I have been homeschooling my younger daughter since 4th Grade. She is now in 7th. I am doing it because she has health problems that prevent her from going to school. Our area has an active homeschooling community. One year, my daughter went to a homeschooling school where the kids went one day each week for a class. She took Sewing and Writing. From what I could tell, the kids socialized there. My daughter didn't feel well enough to do anything other than show up for class. There are also organized field trips and other coop classes and outings. We haven't been able to do those either. For part of 5th Grade and all of 6th Grade, I had a tutor come to work with my daughter. I couldn't get her to do much school work and I figured she would push herself more if it was for someone else. This year, so far, I have been able to work with her. I have put together her curriculum from different sources. I adjust it or supplement it as needed. Working with her has made me see that she does have some actual learning problems and even if her health was better, she would struggle in school to keep up. She is a challenging student and if I could, I would send her to school. But for many reasons, I don't think it is right for her now. I am hoping she will be able to go back. [/QUOTE]
