GED
Research has shown that there are no curriculum that produces better results than another. Parents should choose a curriculum which facilitates learning within a specific child. Every child has a preferred learning style and parents can choose material which will be most suitable for their unique child. Homeschooling consultants offers seminars and personal consultations for guidance in choosing a curriculum.
Parents can join a support group in their area and asks the moms who have been homeschooling for a few years what they are using. They can also organize a visit to look at their homeschool material.The annual homeschooling expos offers a wide variety of educational products.
Parents who decide to start off with a structured curriculum are advised not to buy a complete package for grade 1 to 12 as the needs of the family and child changes over time. Just the grade they need at that stage to see if the curriculum is going to work for them.
