Attachment is here to help support those families who are homeschooling
or thinking about homeschooling. We want you to be up to date on laws
and resources. We have to put together a great starter kit for those
families who are just starting out in homeschooling and those families
who want to try it out.
Homeschool
is a wonderful way to see your children learn, laugh and play. You can
decide as a family what you should learn, how to learn it and when to
learn it. Families with strong religious convictions find homeschool
most conducive to teaching their children their beliefs. Many families
are turning to homeschool because of peer pressure at school, school
violence and bogus standardized tests.
No
matter why you choose to homeschool, we think you are making a great
choice!
What
is Homeschooling?
Homeschooling
can best be defined by saying it is what’s done by families
who educate
their children at home. This doesn't mean that children never leave the
house for field trips and library excursions, actually just the
opposite; usually children who are homeschooled spend more time
reading, visiting the library and going on field trips. Less time is
spent on repeating learned/mastered skills and subjects; there is more
time to go see art museums, libraries, community centers and other
places of interest. There is also more time to take up outside
activities to enrich a child’s education like, sports,
martial arts,
music lessons and artistic programs.
What
do homeschooling families do and how do they do it?
