Top 5 Homeschooling Tips

Thinking about homeschooling or know someone who is?

It’s a big decision with much to consider.

Here are 5 tips for starting to homeschool to help help you get off to a great start:

1. Learn your state’s laws and requirements.

The laws vary from state to state. Before starting to homeschool, be sure you know how to legally do so in your state. The Homeschool Legal Defense Association’s website has a synopsis of the laws for each state.

2. Get plugged into a homeschool group.

I don’t know how we’d have made it through that first year without our homeschool support group. You can check for local groups through the HSLDA website, your state’s statewide side, or by checking Google.

3. Research available curriculum.

Visit curriculum fairs, ask homeschool friends, read reviews. Finding a good curriculum fit for your teaching style and your child’s learning will make your homeschooling life much easier.

4. Subscribe to some great homeschool blogs for support and encouragement.

Homeschooling is not an easy task. And, when it involves multiple children or students, it can be quite taxing. Rely on other homeschool teachers for support to ensure your endeavor will be a successful one.

5. Be prepared for naysayers.

Let’s face it, there are going to be people who think you’re crazy for homeschooling. Decide how you’re going to answer the homeschool critics, know that it’s not up for public debate, and prepare to stand your ground.

When it comes to eBay prosperity, method is key to success. Use the tips above to maximize your profit, for the glory of God!
