[quote=Anonymous]Apologies in advance, as I am a total beginner on this subject. Currently my 10 year old 5th grader has been doing all distance learning at his k-8 MoCo private school - full school days (830am -330 pm with one hour lunch break), all remote 5 days/wk, all synchronous with teachers by zoom, classwork, group projects etc. He has not missed going to in person school at all (except for seeing friends) and has been very responsible paying attention in class, doing the assignments, keeping track of the work and has been doing well. He has asked me multiple times if he can be homeschooled next year. His older brother is one year ahead of him in 6th grade at same school so I know pretty much what the curriculum at this school will be next year. He enjoys being home and having independence. We already supplement his math with AoPS on the weekends, and he takes piano lessons (now via zoom) and he is an avid reader. How do you know if your child is one that will do okay with homeschooling? How do most home schooled children have social interaction with other children? Do most parents do some of the teaching on their own and some with tutors or homeschool zoom classes? I can probably handle teaching him the math with AoPS and Singapore math resources but as for the other subjects I am not sure how to even start. Any advice or DCUM threads that discuss this would be welcome. Thanks ![/quote]
