Coronavirus Concerns Cause Parents to Consider Homeschooling

As many school districts discuss possible temporary shut downs due to the coronavirus, many parents consider homeschooling as an alternative to protect their children. Homeschooling may be just what you need to put your fears at ease.

Pulling your child out of school mid-year is not a new concept. In fact, every year there are a substantial number of homeschoolers that begin homeschooling in the middle of the school year. Homeschooling is legal in every state of the United States. Though specific requirements and laws vary from state to state. In fact, you could start homeschooling today. I have been homeschooling for fourteen years and I would like to share a few steps to help you get started with homeschooling – whether you plan on homeschooling for the long haul or just temporarily homeschooling while the world sorts out how to get on top of this new virus.

·         Research your state homeschooling laws.

·         Understand your student’s learning styles.

·         Purchase curriculum that supports your homeschool goals.

·         Organize your curriculum and create your lesson plans.

·         Start homeschooling!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to help you start homeschooling; and if you live in southeast Texas, THE Book Nook can help you with curriculum.

Happy Homeschooling!
