  • Answer:

    It should not be difficult at all, since he is still young, but the jo jo effect you are talking about can make for some difficulties since there is no stability when they go back and forth. You and your husband need to discuss this, and be on one page, and support each other, home schooling is about family, and a life style as well. I would not like the idea of a charter, virtual, or umbrella school either. Home schooling is about having the choice of teaching method, and content of the materials, as well as the time and place of instruction. Correct me if I am wrong but are home schools in California not considered private schools? If so why would you need a charter? Enrolling him in a charter means he is still a public school student, he just does the work at home. For all state requirements, and information on this go to; http://www.hslda.org/ My question would be why wait until there is a problem, would it then not complicate things further?

My family is very educated on the California schooling program. A) Please dont let your child be homeschooled, no matter how smart they are, they wont get ahead because they wont have social skills B) The Public School system sucks. It is the WORST in the nation. If you plan on sending them there, move away like my family did. C) Private School is 30,000 yearly there, but its great lessons in everything. This is the way to go if you got the $$$
