Homeschooling has interested me off and on during the last five years since my oldest started school. I could not imagine sending my shy, little girl on a bus to a huge school and considered ever so briefly the idea of homeschooling her.
I marvel at the parents who homeschool multiple kids. That seems like an awful lot of work to plan the lessons and I wonder if these parents are brilliant in their own right to teach about all these different subjects. I could probably handle the elementary work but how on earth do you plan and teach about advanced subjects?
Recently I found the website K-12 Free Homeschool which offers a ton of information about homeschooling and their new concept of offering a free core curriculum, complete with 180 days of lessons and activities. I’m all for saving money so the word *free* struck me right away and I also like the idea of having the lessons and activities planned.
Now, since the *free* aspect is part of this new program’s focus, I assume that homeschooling parents currently have to pay other people/companies/schools for curricula and lesson plans. That could become rather costly, especially if you have a limited income. Here’s how it can be tuition-free.
My biggest fear of becoming a homeschool parent was that I wouldn’t know enough about any one subject, especially advanced math and sciences. If I didn’t know the info, how could I possibly teach it well enough to my child? I am also a computer/internet junkie who can get lost surfing the internet so it would take me forever and a day to make just a couple of lesson plans.
If you would like to add some time to your busy homeschooling life while also saving some money, here is the K-12FreeHomeschool.org Course Catalog
