Ohio Alternative License

by Dave

Jul 27, 2016

Hi, I want to get licensed in Ohio through the alternative license program. Does anyone know anyone who has gone that route? I am curious if the alternative license is viewed as equal to a normal license. I already have some college teaching experience so I am hoping that will help make up for any perception that the alternative license is somehow ...See More

Loved ECOT

by Ali

Apr 8, 2016

I homeschooled my daughter starting in 2001 when she was in the 5th grade. She stayed with ECOT until her Junior year. At that time homeschooling was not very popular and I took a lot of flack from Public School teachers. When my daughter took the state required test she passed every subject with flying colors. I was very involved with her educatio...See More

Homeschooling-- What's your opinion?

by Dale

Feb 24, 2010

I'm retired from the public schools after 40+ years but

concerned about the article in our newspaper yesterday

relative to the fact that the article stated that Ohio

ranks third in the nation in homeschooling.

The article,perhaps many of you saw,stated that many

public schools in Ohio should be closed a...See More

mama maria- love it I think homeschooling is great. I homeschooled my own 2 children, both with lds, one of whom which the ps iep team thought would never learn to read or write, in fact they assured me that it would be impossible for them to teach her to read or write and wanted to put her in life skills classes.

I homeschooled my own 2 children, both with lds, one of whom which the ps iep team thought would never learn to read or write, in fact they assured me that it would be impossible for them to teach her to read or write and wanted to put her in life skills classes.

since they had all ready assured me that they could not teach her to read and write, I desided that it would be unwise to leave her in their care.(well ok it took me a few years to get there, had I believed them when they first said it, it would have saved me time and energy)

and the result of homeschooling was.....

she tested into college at age 14, has an associates degree by age 17 and will have her bachlors degree at about 19.

oh my sons disabilities were not as severe, yet he did not test into college untill age 15, but still managed to get his associates degree by age 18.

there is a reason homeschool is on the rise, parents (even those with little education themselves) are apparently able to do things that public schools are not capable of doing.

Ohios homeschool laws are really not that hard by the way, its just a matter of filling out the paperwork correctly, the public school can not legally say "no" unless something goes very wrong, unless the paperwork is not filled out correctly. In ohio a parent dosnt get 'permission' to homeschool, they parent "informs" the superintendent, so long as the parent "informs" the superintendent correctly, he has no authority to do or say anything.

for more information the homeschool legal defence fund has a web page that outlines homeschool laws for each state.

another reson for the rise in homeschooling in ohio is this, families who homeschool are "closer" then families who send their children to public school (spending all day everyday with each other does that) and kids who were homeschooled grow up and carry on homeschooling their own children (it also spreads between families, once one set of parents is succsessful with it and "learns the ropes" then their sisters and brothers start looking into it, and they help each other, so the extended families become closer as well) in my extended family more then half did or are currently homeschooling, by the next generation I imagine they will all be homeschooling.
