Requirements and the law

If a family is ready to begin home school they need to learn the laws and the rules in their state or country.

The family needs to understand what is legally required of them and how they can go about proceeding with homeschooling.

Developing a Plan

The next step is making a plan for education.

If a child is going to be removed from public school they may go through a period of deschooling. They need time to adjust to the new education system.

There are many different ways to provide education at home.

 

 

Here are some basic things that you might need to budget for:

• A computer with educational software
• Higher home energy bills
• Access to tutors in areas you are not comfortable in teaching.
• Travel and entrance costs for educational visits to parks, museums, zoos, etc.
• Stationery, workbooks, textbooks, craft materials
• Curriculum course fees and tuition fees for specific subjects where necessary
• Exam fees. If you decide to enter your child for certain promotional exams like the GCSE, IGCSE, and A/As, you’ll need to pay for each subject (about £140, each) and the exam centre (£40).
• Educational apps and e-learning resources for kids

The government in the UK does not have any statistics on homeschooling but experienced homeschoolers will say that the outcome will depend on the standards set for their educational setting.
