What If Public School Is a Miserable Fit for Your Child? Should you Homeschool?
As the new year's public school semester gets in gear, you may be thinking, "Is this the best I can do for my child?" A good education is at the top of your list for your kids, but what if public school just isn't a good fit? What if your child is miserable at school? Should you take matters into your own hands and begin homeschooling? Many parents have pulled their kids from public school in order to homeschool them with great results. Others worry that they may not be good at teaching math, science or English. That's where homeschool tutorials come in. A tutorial is a fee-for-service class or classes offered by an individual teacher or group of teachers serving homeschoolers. Interested in exploring your options? Here's a list of local homeschool tutorials that can assist you in your efforts to homeschool if you choose to take the leap. There are others out there, so be sure to ask around and keep your ears to the ground!
