Question: Need Homeschooling help?

My daughter is 15 years old and wants be to home schooled in Ann Arbor Michigan. She has been to public schools all of her life .How do I start Home Schooling her? Do I need a certified teacher if I do Homeschooling? Or can I teach her? I don't understand the rules...

She has health problems her ummune system is low and she gets sick and misses 2 days a school a week! So I just want the answer to my question thanks

Answer: You basically just need to find a curriculum that fits her well and teaches all of the subjects required in the link you gave. Other than that, under homeschool statute option 1 there are no other requirements. You do not have to report to the school superintendent and you do not have to have your child tested unless you want to. And, you do not have to have a certified teacher.

Option 2 is for children attending a non-public school so that wouldn't apply to her if you are Homeschooling.

Question: A question for anyone who has used the aBeka Homeschool Curriculum?

Are students able to know the names of their fellow students? Do the students have the option of interacting with fellow students via internet?

I guess what I'm wondering is . . . If 2 people who knew eachother were both students with aBeka, would they be able to find out that they are fellow students without telling eachother?

This question sounds strange, but I would appreciate any answers. Thank you!

Answer: It is my understanding that aBeka is a boxed curriculum that you buy at a store, so I don't see how anyone would know anyone else using it, aside from local folks.

If you're looking for other homeschoolers, Yahoo groups have loads of state and local groups to join and find other homeschoolers in your area.
