Medical Teacher asked:


As well as parents that do the home schooling. Pro’s and Con’s please.

We live in California, San Bernardino Unified School District

My 9th grade son came home from school and said he thinks he would like that.
As it turns out in our District they are only allowed to earn 60 credit in home-school that is equal to 1 year.

They can home-school k-8 all they want but in High School only one year.

In addition the have to meet with a District teacher for a minimum of 2 hours a week.
We have talked about home school ever since he went into Junior High.

We live in a huge District with violence, gangs, metal detectors etc. We have an actually city police officer station on the campus I teach at.

He hears from a friend that is going to be home schooled that he can speed up his progress towards graduation as well as take some college classes.

I myself am a credentialed teacher.

When he is 16 he can attend the Junior College program.

He is ontrack for Nuclear Medicine

I homeschool because they were not learning in the public school. They are flourishing now.
