Homeschooling Anyway, With Little or No Money

The new school year is just around the corner. If your family, like ours, has little or no money to spend on homeschool curriculum or textbooks, what can you do?

While I was researching on the internet to find more homeschooling freebies, I ran across the following links:

The Homeschool Foundation, http://www.homeschoolfoundation.org/ , helps needy homeschool families, and families with special needs.

What About the Poor?—read articles concerning Homeschooling, government and the poor, http://www.honestedu.org/essays/cardiff/poor.php

2001 Education Freedom Index, http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_24.htm , statistics and studies on how Education Freedom Improves Student Achievement.

"Implementing tax credits for private school scholarships, adding new charter schools, adopting school report cards, sanctioning failure, and deregulating home-schooling can produce test score gains, in an entire state, that would otherwise require thousands of additional dollars in per-pupil spending."

Surprise--more money doesn't necessarily improve test scores, but more freedom for parents to educate their children will! You can homeschool, and help your child succeed, on a shoestring.

If necessary, we can homeschool with as little as a library card. How can families make ends meet, and still find the resources to homeschool? Find out how in my co-authored book, Homeschooling on a Shoestring .
