Where did you find these classes? did you just google it?
I am limited to the way I was taught, which until I had this child, was what I thought the only way of doing things. I have to write everything out to get the answers.
Lol, kids will do that to you.
husbands too
So, what would you want out of homeschooling anyway? (not you Lori, yours is born of necessity and a mother's love). Would you be wanting a better education? Are you currently afterschooling at all?
Would you be wanting more free unstructured time and less repitition? You could teach to the test like the schools do and work only in the mornings and do two years cirriculum per year and have earned that extra half a day free time every day.
Howler Karma, you mentioned elsewhere the distinction between gifted who specialize well vs those who generalize well; I wanted to ask you, having been there, for one who naturally should end up specializing eventually would you recommend guiding them twords resources and mentors throughout their childhood or do you think it's better if they are left alone to find their own?
The well trained mind forum is the big one for homeschooling cirriculums. I also like to browse the reviews from amazon for Cirriculum books/softwares that look interesting. You could always google around and post a link here asking about curriculums you might like. Do you want the cheapest way to go? Do you want the richest content? Do you want it very tailored, or is the public school stuff fine as long as you can go at your own pace? I'm a window shop-a-holic for curriculum right now. I don't even think I'll end up homeschooling so the kids can be fully ingrained by their culture here. But I'll still teach them stuff. :P
