This was very informative! I live in Little Elm, TX and I am just starting on the journey of homeschool for my 7th grade daughter. I plan on starting in Jan pray for me.
Thank you so much. You videos have helped me so much. I have a nonverbal 4 year old who is Autistic. My goal is to homeschool him. It can be intimidating when first starting.
You did amazing on this video mama! I homeschool 2 kids first grade and 4th grades in Texas. I share their journey and field trips so they can come back to when they get older.
In between deciding to homeschool my youngest son or putting him in a smaller district. He has struggled with school due to bullying and was diagnosed with clinical depression and severe anxiety. I don't want to pull him away completely from associating with other children his age but if he is not accepted this would be the next step and I don't even know where to begin or how to go about getting a curriculum. His grades are poor in school right now but we are in a big district and I feel he needs one on one teaching. And I feel like this would provide that. In class they are rushed through and not given the special time they might need. Help.
Firstly, it’s great that you are considering other avenues for your son to feel confidence and successful. Homeschooling can help in each of the areas you described, which can change the way he experiences learning and friendships. Learning at home doesn’t have to mean distance from peers, and even allows for you to find groups that better fit your son’s interests and needs.
@@practicalprissy2714 Do you have a list of some virtual home schools in Texas that doesn’t require the star test? I’m in the process but Texas Virtual School is requiring star test per the admin I chatted with.
Unfortunately, many virtual schools receive funding for requiring state standardized testing. I don’t currently have a list of online schools that do not require STAAR, but if that changes I will let you know what I find!
Thank you!! We’re moving to Texas and this was so helpful. Just subscribed! I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and glad to connect here!!
Can you please explain what activities are taught in each subject. What activities are for reading? What activities for Spelling? What activities are for Grammar? What to do for Writing? What to teach for social studies? Thak you for your time.
Absolutely! I have videos outlining how I plan and other videos walking through our learning activities. They’re organized in the playlists, if that makes them easier to find.
Hi, new here! I just recently withdrew my kids from public school to start homeschooling. I found a curriculum and some resources I want to start using. So my next step is to start teaching and that's it? No reporting, no testing to the state or anything like that?
How often do home school children have to go in and be tested and evaluated? Our church is repurposing a building to do just that. I don't know what the school will be named or how much it will cost the parents to have their children tested and evaluated. Does anyone know the answers?
In Texas, there are no testing or evaluation requirements. This opportunity may just be for additional support, which is great for knowing what accommodations or approaches may work best for each learner!
Hi there! Can you please identify the Texas law/code that says school districts are required to provide certain resources to children aged 0 to graduation age? This would be very helpful. Thank you!
@@practicalprissy2714 thank you! I actually would love to talk to you more. I also reside in Texas and am homeschooling my son . I has many questions I could use option/advice on. Can we email or maybe on insta?
If I homeschool my child will I be required to show proof to anyone such as their old school? Or will I be required to show them grades or their progress? Thanks In advance.
Is there a way to home school my kids with me not being the teacher? I work too much and attend college so I really don’t have the time to sit down and teach them.
Online learning would probably be a great option for your needs. Many programs offer small group or even 1-on-1 support for your kids to be able to learn at home or on the go
Hi!! I'm a homeschooler in MS but I want to relocate, so I'm here for research. Great info by the way!! My questions are do you have to send a filled out enrollment certificate to the enrollment officer in your county? and if my children decide to attend public school, will they be tested before being placed in their correct grade?
Thank you! I’m glad you’re here! Texas does not require a notice, although a district may request one of the child has been previously enrolled in public school. Similarly, testing for grade level placement will more than likely occur at the discretion of the district, school, or even individual educator depending on the policies and preferences.
Hello! First time visiting, I have an upcoming 2nd grader and 6th grader (both boys) and fear I may not be able to help my oldest. He’s a very smart and studious child. In addition my last completed year of school was 10th grade, and I have a GED. Any advice from you or your community on how difficult is is to keep them challenged enough and learning through middle/high school at home?
It’s amazing that you’re preparing ways to best support your kids in their learning, despite feeling apprehensive. They are already being set up for success by having such care and attention put into their education. I know there are many options to help bridge any gaps, including supplemental teaching materials to support you, tutoring, or even curriculum models that will require less parent input (if that’s what you’re looking for). We’re all learning, so don’t be afraid to explore alongside your kids as they grow!
In Texas, he can get his GED as early as 16yrs. They use the transcript from his previous school. They get tested to check what level he is in. And if his score is great he can be accepted in to a trade school where he can get Certification in short programs offer by The Texas work Force. And from there he can sign up into college.
omg thank you I really appreciate this video because I'm a first time mom and this info isn't easy to come by

I will! Best wishes for you both!
My daughter is also in 7th! How is it going for yall??
Thank you so much. You videos have helped me so much. I have a nonverbal 4 year old who is Autistic. My goal is to homeschool him. It can be intimidating when first starting.
It definitely can be intimidating, but you are so capable!
I'm not even in Texas and I am just glad to like and comment on your videos!! Thank you so much for your content!!
Thank you for your support! That means a lot to me 🤗
You did amazing on this video mama!
I homeschool 2 kids first grade and 4th grades in Texas. I share their journey and field trips so they can come back to when they get older.
How fun! They will love being able to revisit those memorable times 🥰
@@practicalprissy2714 Yes ma'am! I absolutely love your channel ❤️ Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!

Thank you I appreciate this information. First year homeschooling 3 children.
That’s wonderful! I hope it’s going well
Hello...what about the star test?? Are they required at home schooling and if yes how does that work?
STAAR testing is not required when homeschooling nor are any other standardized tests.

It feels a little odd at first to be “on your own” with schooling, but yes, you’re set to start teaching!
The template that you mentioned at the end for grading & report keeping, would u mind posting the link that you use, thank you I really appreciate it

@@practicalprissy2714 thank you so much! 🙏
Okay but how do I start? What do I need to do first? I’m lost
It can be overwhelming for sure! No worries, be sure to check out some of my videos on getting started. That will help with the first few steps 🤗

You can search for 20 U.S.C. § 1412 as well as 300.118 which covers children in private institutions
Humble ISD in Houston does not provide services to homeschoolers 💔.
@@paulinabourde7654thank you for letting us know. My kids attend Humble District and I'm planning on homeschooling them.
Amazing! Loved this, very well put together, Thank you!

If I homeschool my child will I be required to show proof to anyone such as their old school? Or will I be required to show them grades or their progress? Thanks In advance.
No, you don’t have to report to the previous school. You’re considered your own private learning entity once you transition to homeschooling!
@@practicalprissy2714 thank you I really appreciate it!
Thank you!!

No, you do not have to be a teacher
