回复 4楼的帖子 Depends on age and state Some states homeschooler lean more religious than other. In CA i would say most are secular. You can do a combination of home and pod, which is a lot like school.

No no, for K all you need to do is 打酱油. A little daily math, some number sense, shapes. A lot of family reading time. Watch https://mysteryscience.com/ -- Mystery Science and do some stuff based on that sometimes. Voila, that's all you need to do. Do fun stuff with the kid. What I didn't like about school was it was really long and I didn't have enough time to spend with the kids. My son was illiterate at 7. Caught up in 6 months and was above grade level a little bit later. Shrug.
Often you go to classes that are set up by pods or some college student. Often high school aged kids just goes to community college for classes. A lot of kids choose to go back to high school private or public, some goes to magnet schools. Most home school families reassess their needs every year and decide. Some families have some kids go to school, and some home school. I think my daughter would do fine in a regular school environment, but my son would not do well at all.

how to do reassessments? 是有统一的题目之类的么？ 可以拿到公校的课本和考试保证自己的进度不落后么？ 我一是担心枪击，二是不放心学校教学质量
请继续说说
多谢信息，能帮忙指条路么？我有兴趣的话该怎么入手？ 非常感谢！ 很羡慕你们每天孩子上学时都是安心的！
我平时出门遛娃的时候，遇到过几次home school group在playground，和他们聊过，就是可以去网上找local的group，然后你就参加。 是混龄的group，社交是有的，playground里瞎玩半天，学多少东西就打问号了。 感觉很扯的是我遇到两个group，在室外，大人小孩还都带着口罩，美国人。

然后offline 的各种pod 在弯曲洛杉矶很多很多很多。大部分可以用charter fund 开销。还有很多才艺课也可以用 charter fund。多出来的自己负担。有nature oriented （上山下海 beach tide pool 那种）.
每个learning center focus 不太一样。有的其实跟上大学差不多。可以选课。有的就是mixed age 那种。我娃岁数还比较小。他们每周pod四天，他那个班级是 2 to 5th grade。一般是十几个小朋友。不是每个小朋友每天都来。我老公家里顿上班。每天去pod跟朋友玩儿magic card, 看看书，写两个小作文，玩儿一会儿beast academy 就可以了。他自己在家看一会儿电视，画画，每天运动得三小时。我一般尽量把pto 排到星期五，可以滑旱冰，去museum 啥的，人少。
我们家老二还不到七岁，所以我完全没有academic 要求。但是她pod老师是一个菲律宾老师，以前是教高中的.还是physical therapist。她有点tiger grandma, 推一推，每天教算术，阅读，啥的。我们家老二也大概会不少。我女儿那个k and 1 combo class 只有六七个小朋友。一个老师。我感觉还挺值。
homeschool各种curriculum 有很多很不错的。还有一点不错就是比较多样，flexible。比如前一阵子king tide, 我们去赶海。海边的东西研究半天，我临时抓了一个也在赶海的zoology 专业大学生，紧跟着人家。人家给娃讲了不少。回家看了几个关于sea urchin as an invasive species. 又看了一个关于sea slug 的。 老大坑坑吃吃写了一个为啥 sea slug reproduction 特别奇怪 。这就算science 了。我也学了不少东西。
然后现在加州black mustard 到处都是。我也跟他们看了下black mustard as invasive species. 如何传播到美洲。.. 现在我娃就知道invasive species 是啥东西。然后去参观了一下native California botanic garden。顺便讨论一下五大洲啥的。
阅读啥就是听书。随便看。Percy Jackson。听了好多Greek mythology. Iliad odyssey 这些故事他也都知道很多了。
数学就是参照Singapore math，beast academy，国内练习 （很不喜欢做），折纸, 各种瞎编的扑克game 。他爹是学数学的，随便讲点儿有意思的。
其他”课程”包括偶尔练习打字，玩儿chess kids, financial literacy game。 每天晚上轰我们家的迷你兔子回窝。体操课跟Brazil jujitsu. 听philosophy for kids podcast. homeschool真的free time 多。
我有很多推荐的书哦！
下次再码。手机太难了
mm太棒了！我家k娃也号称homeschool，现在就是打酱油，懒妈要加油。
当然也很辛苦，
但是效果给大班上课绝对不一样。
教学相长，一边教一边学，很有乐趣

她的意思是每年reassess自家的情况，不是考试，这个应该是挺主观的。
即使wfh也不能保证孩子的social啊，我觉得去学校学知识都是其次的，学习如何跟人相处，跟大家一起活动project更重要
有curriculum 。你不想自己忙乎有那种全包的curriculum。跟着就可以。 You also need to take state tests if you are with a charter school.
你要是数学跟着Singapore math 啥的做，没有啥落下的。
太有用了。谢谢。请多分享。我们也在加州。考虑homeschool 中
你说的非常对啊，尤其我家是独生娃，home school social life非常糟糕，他的网课很多是晚上，白天闲着，朋友们白天上学，晚上也有的忙 去学校主要的目的真不是学知识，而是见人，同龄人老师，各种social interaction 都很重要
娃自主性差，但是学习能力还算强，最后都完成了，但是过程体验很一般，最后我俩都腻烦了，觉着还是学校好啊，人多热闹
家校不是网课。家校有很多组织，也有很多家校的孩子可以一起活动。
所以我娃在pod 随便干嘛都无所谓。就是跟其他小朋友折腾呗。k to 8这些小孩加起来大概有六七十人，感觉也够social了。
我们秋天旅行回来要带他们每周volunteer 几小时。星期五吧。他们pod 所在的那个church 就有meals on wheels.
我们家孩子多。即使没事情做一般可以自由内耗好几个小时。他们基本没网课。我女儿有一个画画的。
白天你得跟同样也是homeschool的家庭social啊。
赞👍
完全home school的确很累家长，可以考虑网校 比如k12.com connections academy这种自己有固定curriculum和live lesson的 考试也是学校统一安排 家长省心多了。公立网校对本州居民是免学费的，还可以考察本州比较好的online charter school 课外活动班参加起来 再加入一个本地home school group补充social activity
不错啊
说一下加州的情况，你可以参考。在加州，homeschool通常叫做independent study, 你需要把孩子注册进一个提供independent study的学校里 (也需要看你的学区和county），这种学校通常是charter school，但都属于在教育部注册的正规学校，属于public school的一种。提供 Independent study 的学校里面又分两种，一种有点类似于通常的public school，每周有几天需要学生去学校上课，另外一种是完全由家长来教学生，这种才是通常所说的homeschool。
你成为学校的学生以后，每学年学校会提供你一定的教育资金。同时，因为是正规的学校，学校会要求你必须提供学生的学习进度，通常是每个月和学校分配给你的ES 见个面，说一下这个月孩子都学了些什么等等。除此之外，每学年学校会要求学生参加 2-3 次 i-Ready test，让学生及家长对学习状况有个比较全面的了解 （在这里，家长一定要善用i-Ready Test，不要把i-Ready 当成考试来对待，让孩子在没有任何准备的情况下去做，才会真正发挥i-Ready Test 的作用）。另外，每学年孩子也要参加State test，学生的成绩会被记录在案，这些方面和public school的学生没有什么区别。
家长在选择homeschool课程的时候，刚开始最好选择专门针对homeschool学生的online video course， 家长可以在旁边辅导，但不要试着自己去教。就拿英文来说，没有几个华人家长的英文是没有口音的。而且你自己对课程的安排远不如专业的课件。因此最好等自己对homeschool有了一定经验以后，再决定下一步如何。需要注意的，许多比较好的online video course是Christian学校提供的，按照加州的规定，公立学校是不能接受任何和宗教有关系的课程，因此你如果选择的那些course以后，需要想办法规避这方面的问题。
