Hi,
I am really looking for some thing like this. I don’t want my baby to grow up in controlled environment of 4 walls around her and inside her.
But, I have couple of questions bugging me.
1. How are you compensating for the loss of Kids social life. Once Home-schooling days are over, they have to face this competitive world either in Collage or job.
2. What is the best way of spending time with Kids. Is it better spend through out the day without pre-set timings as and when Kid needs it or should have disciplined timings. (only Timing not what or how they are learning).
I like spending through out the day, but I have to go to job.
3. How to make sure that they will be able to survive after the school days are over and they enter collage days.

Hi, I thought I would reply.
1) The social thing always comes up. Here are a few articles that cover this. Admittedly, they are not Indian articles, but the principles apply and I am sure such Indian articles will be written as homeschooling becomes more popular in India:

2) Every family looks different! I can’t give you an easy answer.
3) Most in India prepare their kids to take the 10th and 12th exams and then they shouldn’t have issue going into college; if not, they go for Cambridge exams or look into international qualifications. I don’t know about how they accept international homeschooled students since there may be a lack of paperwork, but many US and Canadian colleges are very open to homeschooled students domestically, even preferring them. I wasn’t homeschooled but fell in love with homeschooling after attending college in America and finding the students I most admired were homeschooled.
Hi
I am seriously considering the idea of homeschooling my child. Before I go that route, I want to get a few things cleared. My objective is to provide her an environment that would nurture her potential which is not happening in school. I feel most of her time spent in school in unproductive. So I am all willing to do it if I know how to get her assessed annually to get a grade stamp. Also how can she participate in competitive exams like asset, olympiad etc
Thanks
Geetha
olympiad etc should not be a problem but regular assessment is something which most homeschoolers do not go for. if you wish you can yourself do it 🙂 there is OBE programme of NIOS so one could opt for that if one is keen
Thank you very much for your response. I heard NIOS is typically for 10th and 12th exams. Are there assessments for in between grades as well like a 4th,5th etc. Also if you could specify how to appear for Asset and olympiad exams as a homeschooler that would help.
thanks
Hello,
My son is 15 months old and I am thinking about this homeschooling option. I am educated through regular school but I have observed that regular classroom sessions I did not enjoy as much I enjoyed doing various projects on different subjects. Our school was very pro about learning through project method in which we use to do choose a subject, do research on it through books, Internet, experts and learn. I still clearly remember all I have learned through project method, but I do not remember much that I have learned through classroom method. I want my child to enjoy his learning.
Also I post graduated in one subject and later followed my passion in acting and now I earn through that. I feel I wasted many years in doing the post graduation, it would have been better if I would have used that time to find out my passion. I feel my child could find his passion early if he goes by homeschooling.
One more question is
1.How much time I have to dedicate for this? Should I have to give up my career n give my all time here?
2. Do u homeschoolers follow any specific curriculum and go by that? Which curriculum?
