How to homeschool your child

June 11, 2008

Homeschooling is a wonderful way to stay close to your children while helping them become well-rounded adults. It offers you the opportunity to tailor your children’s education to suit your children, your lifestyle, and your beliefs.

Each state has certain legal requirements in order for your child to be home schooled. In North Carolina, for example, parents who home school have to have a minimum of a high school diploma or the equivalent; the place of instruction has to be inspected by the local fire marshal to make sure it meets the educational code requirements; and the parent must keep meticulous records.

Schooling at home also gives you a safe ‘home base’ for your children while they explore the people and places around them. With the ability to individualize your child’s education, you can truly foster a life long love of learning. Home schooling requirements differ from state to state. It is important for anyone considering home schooling to “do their homework!” While home schooling has its own set of non-traditional educational challenges, it can also be creative, fun, and memorable for your child.

Whether your child learns through traditional public schools, private schools, or home schooling, the most important thing to keep in mind is that a child’s education is vitally important to their future successes as an adult. You should create and maintain a comprehensive portfolio for each student, which will provide the basis of assessing your child’s academic progress.

Keep a daily record of your lesson plans and his or her activities, with specifics such as “English, chapters 6 through 9, To Kill a Mockingbird.” Note field trips taken and special assignments completed. One can also go for buying ready-made plans, take online classes, check out software or video lessons, use an “unschooling” approach that teaches through real-life activities or incorporate a mix of all of these.
