Questions on homeschooling?(for people who are in or were home schooled online)?

1. It depends, there are online Homeschool programs (no teacher, no schedule, no plans, you make all that and pick the order), Online Public Schools (run by the state so you get everything free plus you have a teacher and daily lessons and you take the state test at the end of the year), online Private School (You pay because it's private and you get some materials and usually you pay for books.)

Plus you have to buy materials like pencils, pens, rulers...

2. It depends on the school. All of them are different. Usally you have daily lessons that must be completed with videos and tests and all sorts of stuff. You take tests, finals or state tests (private school or public school) are at the end and at midterm (middle of year).

3. Connections Academy and Keystone!!!

Goodluck!

EDIT:

Why the thumbs down?

You can take vacations and other thing whenever you want at many online schools. But you can only take 25-30 days of vacations. Unless its educational. Again, it depends on the state.

I am a home school mother, but really I know more about the answers than students would. They probably don't think about the cost! You ask about home schooling and online schooling, but they are two different things.

1) It always costs more to home school than public school! Public school is totally free! At the very least you have to buy a few things for home school, even if you use the public library for your books.

I buy used when I can. I have spent a lot on field trips, workshops, tickets to plays, etc. in home school that we wouldn't have attended if they had been in public school. No one home schools to save money. I can be very cheap, or very expensive. Online schools are not home schools. They are either public schools (free in your state) or private schools.

2) I have never been involved in online schooling. My son's friend is. He takes the same courses as in the classroom. No choices as to what to read for literature, no choices as to what he wants to learn in science. He has to log on each day. So, his freedom is no different, he can't just up and take a vacation like in home school. Oh, he has to take annual testing too.

3) I do not recommend any specific school or curriculum. In home school you can fit the materials to each individual child. In online school you have the same state requirements, so which one won't make a big difference!

Yes you'll. I am a on-line residence-university pupil myself and I find it irresistible. I were residence-schooled for five years and I am completing my senior 12 months on-line. There are instances while you may also want a guardian however regular you'll wait till they get residence. Some execs to being residence-schooled isn't having to wake-up at 6 within the morning to capture the bus. Another professional is that you simply begin your university paintings while you desire as lengthy you get it performed while it's assigned. A con to being residence-schooled is that you will not be equipped to hang around with peers such as you might at steady university.

Why don't you buy books?
