Question: I am new to Homeschooling, is there any specific Texas curriculum online sites that I can use?

I have recently taken my 7th grade son out of public school. I have found that Plano has an online school and it has what we need,but it cost $1500 to do the online schooling. Are there any other online homeschool sites that has what Texas expects for curriculum? He was struggling in public school and had major problems in math. He reads at a 12th grade level. Is there any online schools that can help us to help him at a slower pace? I am a stay at home mom and I have all the time to give him help and get his confidence back! I am planning to start him after the holidays. Thank you for your help!

Answer: Hi, Congratulations for making the best choice for your child. Your son will benefit for the rest of his life. Like has already been said, there are oodles of resources on the web.

This site: http://www.accelerated-achievement.com/index.htm
it has a complete curriculum K-12 all on one cd. From here: http://www.hstreasures.com/books_menu.html you can get a sample cd for $3. which has everything but math and printing rites, however it allows you to peruse the curriculum. That website has a lot of good info and encouragement, so it might be a good place to read some articles, etc. There are many online websites for math, so that shouldn't be a problem. Saxon math has a placement test: http://saxonpublishers.harcourtachieve.com/HA/Resources/ResourceCenter/RCSResults.aspx?type=Content&cState=&cFromGrade=All&cToGrade=All&cTR=true&cfList=37&sovar=37
There are also yahoo groups where folks will answer questions.

This being said, there are really a whole lot of questions which need to be considered and answered before you could be more carefullly guided.

Feel free to email me off line. I have many more resources.
You will find homeschoolers a very friendly, helpful and encouraging bunch of folk.

Blessings on you new adventure, Teri
