Hello all...

I was wondering if there would be any interest in having a forum for Homeschool? I know there are alot of homeschool sites but it would be nice to "chat" with other like minded people. A place to put question about project we are doing with our children etc....

What do ya'll think?

Hi Sheryl,

I love the idea of a forum for homeschooling. My daughter just graduated (with two different diplomas I might add) after being homeschooled from grade 6. I don't need it for her, obviously, but I would love to help others with problems that they may encounter to make it an easier journey. I would have loved to have a forum to call upon during these past years. I think it's great. By the way, the second diploma I mentioned came from the Richmont Homeschooler Diploma program. I don't know if you are familiar with it, it is not the easiest curriculum to get through, but it a very highly accredited diploma that makes getting into any college a breeze. My daughter has been accepted into every college she has applied to, and I believe it is because of the high regard that schools have for this diploma. Just thought I would throw that in. If there is anything else that I can help with, please let me know.

Hi y'all, need some feedback/advice about homeschooling in general. My grandaughter is 6 and in first grade, she hates going to school this year to the point of vomiting every morning. She has many physical problems as she has Hurler's Syndrome and can't keep up with the other kids who run and play at mock 4, Jenna has no developmental delays as far as educational things, she's smart as a whip and the other kids love her but she just can't keep up so gets left behind and so plays by herself. Someone asked her the other day who her best friend was and she said "my mommy"

She has had 2 back surgeries and now has to have surgery on bilateral hips due to dysplagia. This means she is going to miss many weeks of school.My daughter is seriously considering homeschooling her and I was just wondering what you guys think are the downfalls? Do you think this might just further the social deficit she already has? She does great with 1:1 play date type friends.

Any ideas or advice farmgirls??

I want to know more as well as I am so frustrated with my kids' schools right now. My kids are actually really open to it, it's their dad (my ex) that needs convincing.
