I think that my 8-year-old son is a great candidate for homeschooling. He is bright, but he hates school because he already knows the work and finds having to do so many worksheets boring. I just don't feel confident about having the sole responsibility for teaching him.Is there any way that I could work with other families that homeschool? - Looking for a Partner Answer: While many think that homeschooling involves a parent working alone with a child, there are many options. What you might be looking for is cooperative homeschooling. It is popular because it allows families to get together one or two days a week for a few hours so they can share their expertise. Sometimes a group will bring in an expert to teach a subject such as science, music or math. Homeschool cooperatives are usually sponsored by a support group. You can find a local support group by talking to other homeschoolers, looking in libraries and newspapers for meeting announcements, reading lists of state contacts in homeschooling magazines, or going online to state and national homeschooling Web sites. Parents rarely feel completely confident about their ability to homeschool when first considering this option. Nevertheless, parents usually begin to gain confidence as they find out more and more about doing it. Perhaps the one thing that really helps is to talk to other parents who are homeschooling their children.
