[QUOTE="Josie, post: 195012, member: 1792"] I am homeschooling difficult child 2 this year for health reasons. We are not able to participate in these but there are lots of opportunities for social activities/field trips. In my city, there is an email list for homeschooling parents with activities and resources. From that list, I found out about a "school" that meets one day per week for homeschoolers. I signed her up for writing there because I was not comfortable with grading her writing and I thought she would be more motivated to write for someone else. There are also coops that you could sign up for. I'm thinking you might have to help with teaching in some of these. I have seen some that it looks like you just pay for books and supplies and/or a small fee. I have noticed that the kids at this homeschool class are very polite. I have also seen some that appear to be difficult child's. I have heard that homeschoolers are very accepting of differences. They are never far from adults so I think that helps. There are lots of resources available to use to teach. I haven't found it to be a problem remembering the material. It is all spelled out in the books I use. If she asks a question that I don't know, we look it up on the internet. I am surprised to find that I am enjoying homeschooling. I do have the same concerns about where she will be when she goes back to a regular school but for us, there really is no other option right now. [/QUOTE]
