Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi, Although I didn't get a chance to read all of the posts, so please forgive me if this has already been mentioned. My daughter will be 12 in August and we have home schooled since the middle of the 1st grade. We belong to a local home school umbrella AND we belong to the Home School Legal Defense Association. HSLDA is well worth the month. I think it is just a little over $100 for the year. When you have a problem they promptly get on it, I know from experience.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thank you Christy, I agree that home schooling is probably a wonderful way to go when you start early enough. Unfortunately my girls were both teens when this happened and we tried everything with the schools to make it work. At this age I knew that as much as I would love to take over and help them learn, I think they know how much I understand what they are going through and that I would not be able to get them to work for me. I needed the tutors so that the girls did feel like they had boundaries and that they did not want to disappoint someone other than their parents. If that makes since. I think if you start out early homeschooling it works beautifully and you can have a lot of fun and flexibility, and will get a better education. I am considering that with my 9 year old even today, but I may have missed that opportunity where she will actually do what I need her to do. Believe me in our area (Northern VA), we have so much competition trying to get into Virginia Colleges, I think that the homeschoolers are really getting looked at more positively because the colleges know that there has to be a great deal of discipline for someone to go through this, and that they have probably had a better education.
