Mentor Mom asked:


We are planning on home schooling our 5 yr old daughter.We have looked at many sites on the web.But would like some input from someone who has home schooled & can make a recommendation.We prefer a religious based one, but any good program would be helpful.Only serious responces please.Thank you.
Thank you to all for answering, everything has been helpful.

To lil’brainiac – thank you for your input & concern, but my girls get lots social contact at church & play groups, so don’t worry about that.

To Alek – Thanks for the great info, it’s been helpful.

To IrishKar – Thanks for the info on OakMeadow, but I don’t think its for us, but thank you for your input.

To brendastarful – I really like FCA & may consider it but it is expensive so I may have to go with something else.

To Kevin – Thanks for ALL the sites, I’m still going through them, but I appreciate you providing them.

Its hard to pick a winner as all your answers have been helpful, I’m still trying to decide. If any of you have anymore personal experiences, please let me know.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Cheryl K asked:


I would like to Home School my children and I would just like to get people’s opinions. My son in particular who is 7 seems to really struggle with the school he is very clever and incredibly artistic but finds school so stresful he often comes home in tears.
I agree with the individuals ho say that the children need social interaction. We are very blessed that we live in a smaller community with lots of children and so the children will have the chance to play with others after school. I do worry that it may be difficult at times and I ask myself do I have the determination to keep on top of things, but I also know how vital their education is and that I must not fail them. I do believe some children are just not good in the school environment, my son is very popular at school but just really struggles being there, he has said more then once he would like to be home schooled.
