Question about getting started, what qualifications or...
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 5:27 pm
I do not have any children but my sister has 3 all under the age of 11. We live in a small town in Louisiana. I was homeschooled as a teen and then went on to college for business. Her children have been having problems at the small school they attend and she asked if I would mind homeschooling them. There are a couple other parents that want to pull their children out and have them homeschooled as well. They just don't want to do it themselves. I am curious how I go about getting started, what qualifications or certifications I have to have, etc. When I was homeschooled I went to someone elses house and did my work although she wasn't involved in any of it. She just sat me down and said "Do your work". I was always an A student in regular school, homeschool, and college. I feel that I can do this I just don't know how to go about getting started or if I'm even allowed to do it not being a parent. I have been in my sister's childrens lives since day one. She lives just down the street from me so I see them all the time. Could anyone give me some advice on this and help me out? Thanks so much!
