I'm homeschooled. I wouldn't have it any other way!

You don't have to go a school, you just have to buy the school work. EI subjects, etc. Here is a fantastic wesite that is done completely on the computer. It's all free; they send you a computer, they pay for the internet, they send you books, becils, crayons, etc, and you get a teacher that you can call 24/7. And it's all free. Check out the site here; http://k12.com/

You can do other curriculums to. You can find them everywhere; anywere from very inexspensive to really expensive. Next year, I will be using a cirriculem called 'Oak Medows'. It will cost a total of $700. However, that includes all subjects, and teachers to call for help 24/7. Hope that helps! I'll be praying.

Some public schools have an independent study program. You study at home most of the time but they provide the books and check up on you regularly.

if you look up online, you can find plenty of homeschool options. You can do an internet program as well, but I prefer using books personally
