Homeschooling RAQ
(Rarely Asked Questions)

A few years back I worked on a homeschooling forum.  I ended up answering a lot of questions.  That forum is now a thing of the past, with those questions and answers having been removed from the internet.  I've resurrected a few of them that I thought might be helpful to someone.

Below you'll find a list of the questions.  Just click on the question and you'll be taken to a new page where the question is answered or a few comments are offered up for consideration.

Please take it all with a grain of salt.  That's how all the answers are intended.  There's no one right way to homeschool.  There's no "best" curriculum.  There are few hard and fast answers because there are so many different students, teachers, learning styles, curricula, etc.  Another thing to remember is that I'm only providing my personal answer; other forum members replied, but I'm not including their answers, which often shedded more light on the subject.

The fine print:  All information at this web site is for your entertainment only.  I am not a professional anything and don't claim to be.  I am as much an expert as the next homeschooler.  Beware of homeschoolers who claim to be experts because (among other reasons) what worked for them will likely not work for you.  Don't be afraid of making mistakes because chances are that you will make a few.  There's no secret formula to homeschooling.
