Homeschool should I or Shouldn't I

Postby brandio » Tue Jan 03, 2006 3:07 pm

How does it all work? Can they play sports? What do I have to do? So many questions I have. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old and I am thinking about homeschooling. Please help

Homeschoolers can usually play sports at their local school, though this varies from state to state and school to school, and you'll want to contact your school and get it in writing. A fair number of homeschool groups also organize (team) sports activities.

The legal requirements for homeschooling also vary by state, so I'll need to know what state you're in before I can supply those. School age generally starts at 5, however, so you won't have to worry about the legal requirements for some time yet.

As for actually starting to homeschool, your children are still pre Pre-K. You can read to them both (this builds mental language patterns), and perhaps start your 2-year-old on learning his letters and numbers, but you won't want to push this much yet, and you certainly won't need to start phonics instruction until at least age 3. Just do fun and creative things with them for now, and read to them in your spare time.

In California you cannot play on school sports teams but there are many sports organizations outside the school system.
AYSO for soccer
Little League Baseball
ASA softball
We have Tennis teams and Basketball leagues in our area.
Just to name a few.
You do not need the school system for sports.
No on Prop 82
