are u in bay area CA?
if so, i can pm u some info.
some people told me i should home-school my kid, but i didn't pick this option becoz he never listens to me and he likes to social with other kids.
i agree that homeschooling could save the kid a lot of times in academics (i.e. learning a few grade levels' materials in a year, etc.). but you'll need to have connections with other home-schooled kids to have play-groups, etc. in order to keep the kid to be socialized. also, u might want to exchange resources with other home-schooled parents. e.g. if you both are good at science but not good at arts, then u might want to have connection with other parents who're good at arts.

有沒有Home School 家庭學校之家長?
知不知在美國的家長有home school your children 的選擇呢?
可否交流一下心得與經驗?
我老公剛開始home school 我們5歲的女兒。又要照顧有特別需要的女兒平安。
家裡又加添了一位b ...
你們是不是住在泰國的外國人呢?我知道可以 home shool 的國家並不多。就是說可以有 home shool 選擇的機會並不多。
So, I don't want to take this home school oppotrinity for grand.

And thank you for your informaiton and advise. Please pm me the info. you got.
Thank you very much.
"e.g. if you both are good at science but not good at arts, then u might want to have connection with other parents who're good at arts." I am good at science and Chinese. my husband is good at art, English, social science and Bible knowledge.
Home school here is very flexible. You can pull your children out from public, private school any time you want.
To start a home school is very easy. Better not let school district know becasue they do not know how easy it is to start a home school, they might try to complicate the steps and procedures. If you want to link on how to start a home school in CA, I may post it here.
thx for your tips.
however, i'd already given up the idea of homeschooling my kid. as he's our only child, he always said nobody plays with him and talks to him at home. he's a social butterfly, so i think home-school doesn't work for him. plus, he never listens to me at home so homeschooling will definitely killing me.

hahaha......
My husband is pretty good at getting our daughters listen and obey to him and me. Although my husband doesn't think so. I think he expects a lot out of our daughters.
