I am a single parent who homeschools my only child, a 7-year-old boy. Homeschooling does not have to be expensive; you can use library books, books from the thrift store, etc. It is also possible that your public school system may offer a “public school at home” program.

The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has information on how to legally homeschool in your state and on how to get started with homeschooling; the link is below:

There is an organization that gives used home school curriculum to those who need it; the link is below:

If you would like more information about homeschooling, please e-mail me off list.

I hope the above is helpful.

If you want to look into a public school at home program (which is legally not the same as homeschooling, but practically is very similar), go to http://www.k12.com and see if they have a program in your state.

Otherwise, check out Book Samaritan (someone else already gave you the link). Or do yourself with the library using this typical course of study as a guide: http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?curriculum

I was bullied in school, but my children have never set foot in a situation like that. They are stronger inside, and happier, than I ever will be!
