Jennifer, where do you live? There are sites that can give you curriculum, but if you are in Alberta, I can send you some great resources. Send me a private email. Sorry I didn’t see this before, I received no notifications.

I do not reccomend homeschooling at all unless your parents actually know what they are doing and have money. Im a homeschooler who is supposed to be in 9th grade but i dont have any curriculum to work with except my moms old college books that she never used. My mom thought it would be a great a idea to homeschool me when i was in 6th grade. So far she has done a HORRIBLE job. I dont get to do anything because we dont have any money. I take guitar lessons but cmon. You dont really meet anyone except the teacher. When i try to talk to people my age they dont really want to talk to me because they already have their own friends. I tried to tell my mom i wanted to go back to public school but she had a meltdown and made it the her show. So basically i dont do anything ecept stay at home to babysit my sibling and clean while my mom goes out to meet her friend, i dont have any curriculum to work with and as a result im falling behind rapidly, i have no friends AT ALL. And im pretty sure i need a therapist for severe depression. Do not homeschool. And if your kids say they dont like homeschooling, listen to them! Homeschool is horrible!

Not really. There are many socially inept people in school.

Our children are homeschooled, and they have a tonne of opportunities to meet new people: gymnastics, ballet, soccer, Kung Fu, swimming, floor hockey, racquetball, free time at the Y on Fridays, library programmes, church activities, playing with the neighbour children, and so on.

Lack of communication with children your age isn’t a problem with homeschooling; it’s a problem with your homeschooling.
