[quote=Anonymous]This is really sad. Your niece needs to understand that lazy days and too much time on screens are not the path to getting back to school with her peers and real learning. She's old enough to partially take the reins and try to create some structure and discipline for herself. Are there any homeschool classes in the area where your niece lives? (Tell us the area and we can help you there.) They are often somewhat mixed-age, as can be the on-line live classes. Assuming you don't live near them, are you able to do some "correspondence"-course work with your niece on any subjects? For instance, if you're good with writing, can you jump in with helping on that front? Tutors are good but it gets expensive quickly. A local university would be a good source for cheaper tutoring. I'd think the main pushes would be for math and reading/writing, and the other subjects can be done by your sister. It's possible that with only one child at home, your sister will have more ability to focus and push. Homeschooling those three different ages is tough unless you're really organized. Tell us the city/area and we'll see if we can help with resources. [/quote]
