Can I Hire a Homeschool Teacher or Do I Have to Do It?

Homeschool Question

Homeschool Question

Hello,
I just moved to South Carolina. My daughter will be entering 7th grade. For the past several months we have discussed home schooling as an option. She struggles a bit academically and socially she struggles to fit in. Though not officially diagnosed with anything, she does exhibit the social awkwardness associated with aspergers syndrome.

I have been trying to read about homeschooling but not sure that I am understanding it fully.

Do I have to be the one to home school her or is there a way I can hire a home school teacher to teach my daughter in our home?

Hello from SC!!!!!Homeschooling is a great option for a state thet is LAST in the nation in education. We have 2 things to dicuss.

First the law. Here is the extreme short version. YOu can find the whole law by going to www.hslda.org and click on the US map and then on SC and get the whole law.

There are 3 ways to legally homeschool here.

1- You can go through SCAIHS (SC Association of Independent Homeschools) which is an accountablity & Support group. They offer a host of service from picking the right curriculum to keeping records for you to helping you find sports teams. They do more than I can list.

2- you can go through the school district which I NEVER suggest you do. You are only a public school kid at home. Which honestly, if the education was any good, you would keep them in public school. You are also at the whim of person in charge of Homeschoolers in that district.

3- Third option. You must belong to a homeschool group with no less than 50 members. There are too many of these to count. Each group sets up its own requirements.

I am actually 1st & 3rd option.

Now lets discuss you. I caught something in your response. You asked if you had to be the one to teach them? No matter the option a parent must provide 51% of the teaching. Perhaps I read you wrong (it is hard to tell one's tone of voice on the internet) but it seems like you really would rather not teach. While it may be the best for your child, if you are not willing to do what it takes, you might should not do this. Even if you hired a teacher, you would still have to be involved in your child's education. If you would rather not put the effort and time into it, for the sake of your child, put them in a private school instead. Contact Schais (www.schais.org) and get the info. Get educated on the matter and get to know some support groups before you decide. Good Luck!

starstarstarstarstar 		Im interested in hiring a teacher for homeschooling
by: Anonymous

I understand that I would still be involved and that would be great. I tried homeschooling my girls once before and loved it but at some point my girls were ahead of me on some subjects lol. So I put them back in a public school so they wouldn't fall behind. Only thing is , the school isn't that great either. That's why I'm wanting to start homeschooling them again but with an actual teacher so I know they are where they need to be. How do I begin looking for a teacher to come to my house and about how much would it cost. How do I get started? Please HELP! Thanks...
