Questions and Answers
I need to off about 3 months of school and be home schooled becasue of family/school reasons…my parents cant do it because they work, so i need a tutor and can i just gett all my work from the school and stuff like that..how much do you think this would all cost and will the school except this..i know a girl who did this for medical reasons so i think its possible. And, will colleges be turned off by this ..i need all the info i can get please help me
its for depression and stuff like that can that be3 used as an medical excuse this is the only reason im doing this.
The girl who did it for medial reasons probably was doing home and hospital schooling where, after a doctor sends a note to the school saying that due to a medical reason you are unable to attend school, the school sends a teacher to your house to teach you and bring you work (and this is free). If you don't have a medical reason, chances are, the school won't be willing to do this. Maybe check around in your area to see if there are any schools that only do "homeschooling" where you pick up work and see your teacher once a week. I know in our area we do and it is a public school so doesn't cost anything.
ADDED: I'm not sure if depression counts, but possibly. Maybe have your parents schedule an appointment with your school counselor and you all can discuss what your best option is. You could also talk to your doctor about getting a note for that. Yor doctor might also have some suggestions to help you overcome this depression. Good luck!

Home school is learning at home. California has very specific laws about homeschooling, it is best to check with the department of education for the most up to date laws. For an overview of the home school laws in California, check out the Yahoo! Associated Content article:

1) Start from scratch ideas: Not knowing what grade level you are in makes it difficult to make specific recommendations. I would suggest checking out the Home School Buyer Co-op for a list of curriculum. They offer great discounts on home school products. You can find them here:

2) Cost for curriculum can be next to nothing for elementary and middle school students, high school can get expensive. Check out Http://www.jason.org for free science curriculum for upper elementary and middle school students and http://ift.tt/GFmivs for free AP high school courses.
3) Check out the Yahoo! Associated Content Article for links to home school organizations. Another good source is the Home School Legal Defense Association. Http://www.hslda.org
4) Home school is as good or bad as you want it to be. For a home school to be successful, you must cooperate with your parents and be able to work independently. If you want to learn, you can make home school successful. If you want to do nothing and sit around playing video games all day, home school will not work for you.
Hope this helps.
Also, what are the pros & cons of home schooling?
It costs what you want it to cost, basically.
You can spend thousands on homeschool programs, classes, brand new pre-packaged curricula, a science lab, etc.
Or you can be frugal, buy used materials, join free local support groups, use the interenet & library for the bulk of your resources, etc.
Pros and Cons of a lifestyle are hard to quantify– one man's pro is another man's con. It's like living in the country vs. Living in the city… For some people, the quiet and space of the country far outweigh the need to drive 20 miles for a gallon of milk; for others, that drive would be unthinkable and they're willing to sacrifice the land & peace for a more centrally located home on a busier street.
It's like that with homeschooling– some love the freedom, the fact that the family spends more time together, the fact that they have more hands-on control of their child's education and can alter it as necessary, that they have a variety of approaches to take and resources to draw from, that they can choose more quality socialization opportunities for their kids to be placed in, etc.
Other people don't want those kinds of responsibilities, or don't have the confidence to take charge.
So what one person likes about it could be something you like, too, or something you hate. You really have to look at it as a complete lifestyle.
5 Hacks to Help You Save Money on College
The numbers are mind-blowing: Estimates last year found that the cost of a college education increased more than 500 percent since 1985. "You basically have to start working on it your freshman year of high school," explains Kirby Parnell, who is at Eckerd College in Florida as a Gates Scholar.
