Does anyone homeschool 1/2 days & use public schools 1/2 days?

My friends son goes to school for 2 half days a week also, at the same school as my sons.

It is working well for them, and the school is very supportive of it.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with it all. It is a shame the school is failing to back up your wishes for your daughter. They have no right to question the way you want to school her. If it is legal it's none of their business.

If I were you then I would call a meeting with all involved, and clearly tell them this is what you are doing for as long as you and your daughter are happy to continue. You do not wish to be questioned about it any more, nor does your daughter.

I hope things improve for you.

1. Homeschoolers are as socialized as anyone else. The main difference from public schoolers would be that homeschoolers have more opportunities to interact with a wider range of people from various cultures and backgrounds. In public school you spend so much time in a classroom with same age kids from the same zip code. a. Socialized to me means being able to interact with other people. 2. Many homeschoolers get a quality education. a. I think most homeschoolers who choose college are well prepared. They have likely spend more time studying on their own and have had more varied experiences leading there. 3. Homeschoolers spend more time in the "real" world, so they are better prepared to function in it. They see what it takes to live outside of a classroom for more hours every day. a. Some homeschoolers may be sheltered, but no more than public schoolers. A lot of this really depends on the individual family. There is a lot of variety out there, just like with public school students. Every person is unique and has different experiences. I actually think prom is bad example of missing out because as homeschoolers my daughter had the opportunity to go to 3 last year. 2 homeschool ones, and 1 public school. The only thing they miss out on is the public school experience. Often homeschoolers get classroom experience which is similar, but it isn't as frequent or as much a part of their lives. Therefore they see things from a different perspective. But, then again, even kids in the same classroom do that, just maybe not to the same degree. As for cmow... I find his comments amusing. I try not to be rude to people, but his vanity and ignorance just made me LOL. Good luck on your paper :D

my friend who is 7th grade goes to school for half the day and i know from her that her school treats her pretty well i also know a couple other kids that go in for 1 class a day

I have not done this, and I don't think most homeschoolers have either. I think you are either homeschooling your child or you are not. If you are supplementing her public school education with activities or lessons at home, this is better known as "afterschooling."

As far as I know, in America you can either be one or the other.
