Actually, I think it likely that the school does NOT have to provide you with any materials. Homeschool laws vary considerably from state to state and some school districts are more helpful than others. For a brief overview of the laws and requirements for homeschooling in your state, visit: www.hslda.org Barbara Handley " We bind ourselves together by taking hold of each other's hands so firmly and forming a circle so strong that if a tree should fall upon it, it could not shake nor break it, so that our people and grandchildren shall remain in the circle in security, peace and happiness.

In many states the schools do not have anything to do with homeschoolers and certainly do not have to provide them with materials. The oppportunity to participate in p.e., music or other classes may or may not be available. I live in Oregon and the school system provides NOTHING for homeschoolers in the way of materials. Homeschoolers may participate on sports teams, debate teams, etc. Local districts and schools make the decision about whether or not they will permit dual enrollment. The state requires standardized testing for homeschoolers, but paying for the test is the responsibility of the parents. Other states have no assessment requirements for homeschoolers, and others are more restrictive than Oregon. It is simply impossible to make any sort of blanket statement about the laws, responsibilities, and requirements of homeschooling as these are different in each state.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 Eleanor, If you wanted too, the school would have to let you bring her in for p.e. music and any other service you wanted. Where I teach at one little girl comes for these things and also comes for the computer lab and is in our school band. I've even had to copy my lesson plans for one parent so they could see if they were covering the same things I was teaching at school. They were a very nice family, they just wanted to have their children at home. Schools don't like you to know that they have to provide the books and extra classes if the parents want it, but they do! I wish you the best in your journey.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 1999 Report Share Posted September 25, 1999 Thanks, Barbara, for the homeschooling list idea. It would help me decide whether to try this route with in grade 10. Kids who can handle it tend to spend less time on learning (remember, in our high schools you must move at the pace of the class...) However, as a caution, I would use the programs offered by the correspondence school in our province as the program in Grades 10-12 (the entire program is prepared by the Dept of Ed and thus incorporates all learning objectives. The student submits lessons and gains credit in the subjects taken). I would not be not need to do this before Grade 10 (though I would get the objectives of each grade from the Dept of Ed to be sure I was teaching knowledge needed). I know other provinces have this option; I am not sure about the States. Anyway, thanks for the idea of the new list! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 1999 Report Share Posted September 29, 1999 Hi Eleanor, I'm a bit slow in responding, but I've been homeschooling my deaf son for almost a year (which also explains why I'm so far behind in reading my e-mail!). Since it may not be of interest to everyone on the list, you can e-mail me privately with questions. I'd be happy to tell you about our sitaution and what works for us. Take care, Kim Nusbaum > Message: 21 > Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 13:04:52 EDT > From: LadyJane50@... > Subject: Homeschooling > > Things have gotten so bad with 's school that I have decided to > homeschool her until she gets a new IEP.
