Some people have the patience and others don't. I don't.
I'd end up having to beat the little shits.


If you're not like me then you should do well.

That's all I have to say about that.

Yeah, beating your kids while homeschooling them is frowned upon.

Correct.

They're homeschooled, it's not like you ever have to let them leave the house.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die.

Re: Any homeschoolers in Michigan?
I was home schooled in MI but way back then it was basically not legal and my mom just got a good curriculum from a reputable source and took her chances. I have a friend who has always taught her three girls and she follOws all the rules and has no problems. She is very religious so they are part of some Christian homeschool support group. I don't live there now, but I think another poster gave you good advice about going to the national website and following state rules. I think a structured curriculum is great for a new homeschooler. It will also guide you through some required milestones. In NC you have to take EOG tests at certain grades.

You'd probably have to learn to read first. Unless you plan on teaching reading a "wall of text" (also know as a paragraph is garbage). Bwaaahahaha! Good luck!!!

Glad to hear it's easy to homeschool kids. Good thing they are letting us decide public schooling or home schooling for right now before it's illegal. hf

Re: Any homeschoolers in Michigan?
I've been thinking about homeschooling for some time now but I honestly have no idea where to start or how to go about it, I'm a little nervous at the idea of pulling my little one out and taking over his education.

I have read about it extensively online but I'm hoping one of you GLP'ers in the state of Michigan, that has experience with this, would be willing to point me in the right direction, give me some advice, let me know how it's worked out for you.

Re: Any homeschoolers in Michigan?
Michigan has extremely lax homeschooling laws. None really, unless that's changed since I left.

My advice is to relax. It's not difficult at all and can be a lot of fun.

MI public schools are terrible.It's cruel to force a child to face that everyday. Any curriculum you choose will be way better than what he would learn there. Even unschooling is better than a MI state provided education.

One thing I found out right away is I didn't need or use a lot of the material I bought. I went way overboard with it because I was afraid at first.

Just relax and enjoy it.hf

I didn't know anything about homeschooling. I asked at the school and they told me all I had to do was sign a note, and I pulled my son out of school.
You have to buy books, and if you ever want him to complete school it has to be accredited, otherwise he will have to take GED.

Avoid Michigan Charter Schools at all costs.

They only care about the money - they could not care less about your kid.
