Author: Here is another fabulous question….
Q: How did you start your research on Homeschooling Programs and how did you organize your day to fit school in on top of…everything else?
A: Good one. I did a ton of research on-line (mainly just goggling homeschool programs) and narrowed it down. I requested a ton of info. Once I got it all in I just looked at what they offered. We do not go to church, so it helped to choose programs that didn’t have any religious connections. Then we looked at price. There are some pretty pricey ones out there. Ultimately the one we picked (Calvert) just felt right and it offered a program (for a additional fee) where you send in the test and someone else grades them….so I wasn’t the bad guy……all the time 
. In the program they included the text books, paper, answer keys (thank god), even crayons. Everything you could need (except for a few items for science).
As far as fitting everything in….we just do it. We know what has to be done and really some how just make it work. The program we picked works so well for us because they give you a manual that really lays it all out for you. Each day is laid out; it pretty much tells you what to say and how. Obviously it can be adjusted to the family.
I really hope that helps. If you have any more questions about homeschooling, please do not hesitate to ask them.
Keep any other questions coming……I’m ready

I don’t know if I have the patience to homeschool… I have never even thought about it. Something to look into, though, since a lot of people are doing it.
interesting information on homeschool. thanks!
No freaking way!!! Girl that is awesome, the curriculum I used from preschool to 8th grade was Calvert! We’re looking into using it for our children too because I had such a positive experience with them. It’s a fantastic education! I also did the program you’re doing with the teachers at the school grading the papers. It is so awesome to know someone else going down this path!
That is so cool.
