Virtual Learning

When exploring options for virtual homeschooling, it is important for parents to accredited schools with the following SACS, MSCHE, NCA CASI NEASC, WASC WEB, and AdvancED. If you haven't included this in your google searches, don't panic. I have done an extensive search and will list the ones that I have found and list ones that came up popular but without accreditation.

First, Time4Learning.com is NOT accredited at all. It is only supplemental. Why is this important? If you enroll your child into the program and nothing else, it does not meet the minimum requirements for most U.S. state laws. Secondly, any online home school that is not accredited with the ones mentioned above may not be transferable to different numerous public and private education institutions including colleges. This is huge if you are planning on a college path for your homeschooled children. The cost of Time4Learning.com is roughly $20-$30 a month.

Second, International Connections Academy although accredited, their tuition is higher than some local private schools ranging from high 4k to 6k an academic year. If this price seems unreasonable, check your local private schools for cheaper tuition.

Third, K12 is free online public school. However, there are significant negative views in popular newspapers across the U.S. saying in numerous ways how it lacks. K12 is accredited but I would recommend you check reviews of your local K12 before enrolling. It is free so maybe worth looking into a little further.

Fourth, Mosaica Online is another AdvancED accredited school. It shows free tuition to several states including international students.

    I would keep going, but I think you get the picture here.

Check out the website Guide to onlineschools to check regional accreditation. This could help you significantly cut down researching through a search engine and wasting time.

In addition, my child has an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). When reviewing online supplemental curriculums such as Time4Learning vs Mathletics & Spellodrome, Time4Learning was way more interactive in K-2nd grade. My son needed total guidance and direction and the games seemed extremely unsupportive for children with learning disabilities by offering little to no sound or guidance through the website. With all this being said, I would still encourage parents with children without learning disabilities to use Mathletics and Spellodrome.

If you are wondering if I've been paid for my review, let me answer truthfully by saying no. This review is by direct observation of my 9 year old with APD on the websites only. Contact me at onechildspath@gmail.com if you have any questions.

One Child's Path

     When thinking of education for our children, homeschooling is an option that some parents may choose. If you are married or a single parent of a child with disabilities, homeschooling may become necessary. The fact is that most employers of single mothers do not care if you have a child with disabilities. In fact, most single parents will find it difficult to find or maintain a decent income if they have little to no support. Add disabilities with a lack of support and a part-time job with no flexibility and you have a child falling through cracks of the education system quite easily. Homeschooling is a privilege that should not be taken lightly. Mothers across the country have proven great success in our abilities to educate our children.

     Before you decide on homeschooling your children, it is necessary that you review the laws of your state. Each state has their own laws. HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) is a non-profit advocacy organization that has a wealth of information available for parents looking for answers about their children's educational rights. In addition, homeschooling isn't tax deductible. Supplies and resources for homeschooling may not necessarily be free to home schooled children. Children with disabilities are not offered services in every state. Check to see if your state or local school district offers services for disabled children being homeschooled.

     As stated above, homeschooling isn't free nor tax deductible. If you are a single parent and would like to homeschool but need to work, don't lose hope! There are options available to make it work. After all, being single doesn't mean you are alone. There are many single parents of disabled children in the U.S. and possibly more than some realize. Any child with or without disabilities will benefit more from a parent willing to advocate for their children's education.

     For those of us that need a visual understanding, I've uploaded a few examples from other websites on statistical data to prove what homeschooling does for children.
