Homeschooling
I want to be homeschooled next year, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it costs alot or not? If someone was to be homeschooled, would they still have to take gym or no?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
It depends on the courses you are taken and who's given it to you. check w/your school counsolar-trix

I was homeschool for 2 years and my mom got the books from a regular school and you just have to pay for the books and a regular tutor and then you should be set to go! And no you dont have to take gym but if ur decideing and go through with beging homeschool make sure u go do something like gymnsatics, or soem kind of music thing tat will look good on your college aplication!

when your homeschooled it coasts anywhere between 500-1000 $ for the books and lesson plans . you dont have to take an elective but they may make you take a typing class like an elective . you must send all your work in and you must go to a center to take all your tests .

This girl on my street was homeschooled in 5th grade. She would come to our school to take PE and art but I don't think she HAD to. I'm pretty sure you have to have some kind of exercise (*playing on a team, going to work out...etc) because the state doesn't want you to be un-healthy. So you have to exercise, but it doesn't HAVE to be PE. She told me she didn't come in for music bc she sang @ her church...but if you're in an older grade, music isn't a required subject like it was in elementary school (*neither is art). I'm not sure if it costs alot, and every state handles homeschooling differently, but she had to go and take this test every couple weeks (*I'm not sure how often) to make sure she was learning enuff.

No, no gym. But, I wouldn't reccomend homeschooling. It puts a huge dent in your social life, and you really don't learn as much unless one of your parents is like a real teacher or something. It doesn't cost a lot, but to make sure that you're at the same pace as the rest of your grade, at the end of the year your parents have to turn in everything you've done to see if you can pass to the next grade. There are some computer programs, like Excel, that you can buy that will give you assignments for you basic classes, depending on what grade you're in. I was homeschooled for two years, and while it was easy, I didn't learn much, and the next year i felt that I was lacking in the math department. If you are going to be homeschooled, see if your parents can hire an actual tutor to teach you subjects that you or they have difficulty with. Good Luck with your schooling!

There is different kinds of home schooling. If you are getting a parents or another family member to home school you then it wont cost a thing. If your getting someone else to do it and your going to be in a group like thing then yes its going to cost, depending on the teacher. You also need to get your books and other supplies too, so that will cost. You usally dont have to take gym and you only have to work 4 hours a day.

If your homeschooled you only have to do work for 4 hours a day and no you dont take gym...you just take your normal classes, and it depends on what kind of homeschooling you get like if your parents or a family member is homeschooling you then it wont cost you a thing but if someone else is homeschooling you then i dont know how much it would cost but homeschooling is really cool..I hope this info helps you!!-Nikki
P.S. *Feedback is greatly appreciated*

Oh man, this is kinda up my alley. I wish I knew where you lived. In my area we have Independent Study. This means that you come into school once a week for about half an hour and get homework assignments, that equal about 4 hours of work/day, from one teacher P.E. can be included but is in the form of any kind of documented exercise.
Homeschooling is different altogether. Someone is usually at home to make sure you are doing the work you are required to do. You have stricter standards to adhere to and you have to follow the district and state guidelines for homeschooling. Check on internet for other details. And check with your district about independent study. Often students find that to be a better option.
