How to teach homeschooling?

How many people here hire teachers for homeschooling(in case parents can't teach thier kids)??

• give your personal experiences. how many look for physical presence of teacher and how many seek on line tutoring.

• Answer:

  I've been homeschooling for 5 years and I've never come close to needing to hire a teacher or seek online tutoring. The reason is mainly the type of materials I choose to teach my children. Home education materials, resources, curriclulae, are written specifically to enable you to teach your kiddos at home. I would never choose materials that do not have extensive teaching manuals, ideas for enrichment, background info, so on and so forth. So, if you choose your curriculum wisely, there is no need for outside help, and although it is hard work and can be quite time consuming, anyone with a heart to teach their children at home can. IMO, that's the entire idea behind homeschooling: it's you and your children. Now, I am involved in a teaching co-op, where homeschool families get together once a week and offer enrichment classes, but that's not because I need help, it just something we enjoy doing.
