My son just started 5th grade, and every year I tell my husband that we should seriously consider homeschooling. However, we’re both scared to jump in. I wouldn’t even know where to start either. How old is your child? How’s it working for you? What tips/suggestions do you have? Thanks!

Would love some advice.  We are considering it for our 6th grader.

Maybe look into cyberschool? I was afraid of my own abilities to do homeschooling, so we chose cyberschool. The curriculum is already set. Books, computer, printer, etc. come in the mail. Submitted assignments are graded and feedback is sent back to the student and parent. I feel like I have a lot of control over his education this way (no more missing homework assignments, I can check and see what still needs done, etc).
We actually switched our son the middle of his fifth grade year. School is still a struggle here, but I think this might be the right answer for some families.

I am getting ready to pull my son out of public school and homeschool him. The school is trying to force me to medicate my son and I refuse to do it. Our family has already experienced kids on meds and won’t ever do it again, not for ADHD.

I am putting my cirriculum together and waiting for his neuro psyc evaluation so that I can learn how to teach him. 

I have been looking into Finlands schools a lot lately. They don’t have the ADHD problems that we have here as badly.

They dont even start the kids in school until they are 7 and the kids go out and play in between EVERY lesson.  If a kid is in first grade doing 4 grade work, they let them do the 4th grade work.  They have the same teacher for all of elementary school.  The kids work around what they love and are passionate about….They have the NO. 1 educational system in the world.  We are no. 17 at best. ADHD? Or our public schools are nothing more than a bureaucratic mess?

So…i guess we are in this together.
