What does it take to home school children!!!!!!!?
The answer to this is not a simple yes or no. There are many things to consider… -the age of your children. If your child isn’t old enough to stay home alone (and by this I mean the legal definition for your state as well as your own personal feelings) and you want to continue working full time, it probably won’t work. For homeschooling to be truely effective, especially with elementary school aged kids, the parent has to be there while the work is being done. Many older kids do work online and/or independently, but of course this depends on the child’s level of dedication and responsibility. -If your family could loose all or some of the income you generate. Homeschooling often has an impact on the family budget..often because one parent has to be able to be there.

Yes you could do it.You’d have to make a few lifestyle changes and try to keep things simple and organized for yourself, I know a family that had their homeschooling in the evening because both parents worked odd hours.There’s no right or wrong way to do it mostly it depends on your individual family’s needs.

Homeschooling is a full time job if you plan to have your kids take most of their classes at home. However, there are many cooperative classes, Christian school classes etc. available to supplement your children’s classes. It would be necessary for you to cut back and perhaps, seek a part-time job or consider working from the home. I can attest to the fact that homeschooling with dedication can provide an excellent education as I was in fact homeschooled for my entire education. I am now a senior in college and will graduate in the spring. Also, I noticed that one person said that homeschoolers lack social skills. This statement is simply innaccurate. First, homeschoolers learn to interact with people from a variety of age groups including their parents and older adults.
