New to homeschooling...help??

Question:
My middle child is currently enrolled in public school, and is learning nothing except bad behavior! I am considering homeschool as an alternative for her starting ASAP! I need an address/phone number/website address where I can sign up for some kind of correspondence courses available for free or cheap that is geared to Grade 2 If there aren't any such courses available, where do I get the books/materials I need to educate her properly? I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada This is a scary proposition, as I would really like to do the right thing for her, but the public schools just aren't appropriate for her. All she is learning is how to get into trouble. Her siblings don't have this problem. She has some emotional problems that the schools just aren't equipped to handle.


Answer:
- listed below in my sig is the Canadian Homeschool (resource) page. Believe me you will find it very useful! You can also subscribe to an e-mail list for Canadian Homeschoolers there as well if you are interested.There are also links for the different provinces regarding what is required by your province to homeschool as well as an upcomming events page for Ontario and a page where stores that offer discounts to homeschoolers are listed. There is a big Homeschooling conference in Toronto on Oct 3rd and I know there iare still some spaces available.You can find out more about that at the Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents link in my sig. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Klement Family "Education is what survives when Darryl, Debbie, what has been learned has been Kathleen(12), forgotten" Nathan(8) B.F.
