Sample Answers to #6 & #7
on the Home Education Notification Form
This
information is meant to be a sharing of experience ~
it is not legal advice and the author is not a lawyer.
Some people choose to use the outline of coursework provided in the
curriculum they are using or even just a copy of the grade level outlines
provided in a Typical Course. Others opt for more specific or more vague
answers, sometimes including their statement of faith. The following answers are
totally acceptable, frequently used answers to the brief outline question.
We intend to cover all of the typical requirements for the average
____grader, and the average____grader, and more, incorporating all the
subjects mentioned in #5, and using every opportunity education for both of
them.
or
The subjects listed in #5 will be covered in an integrated manner. For
example, the study of Ohio History might include: reading World Book section
on Ohio, reading books on Ohio History from the public library, visiting major
historic sites around the state, going to Metro park presentations on the
history of the state, a study of the birds of Ohio, a discussion on the
science and mathematics involved in building bridges across the Mammee River
or skyscrapers in Toledo, or visit to a Jeep or Davis-Basse. As you can see
the ways of covering the required areas are limitless.
or
Unlike public schools and some home education families, we do not decide in
advance what we will cover over the course of the year. We have made assurance
in section #5 that the required areas will be covered and in #8 that a minimum
of 900 hours of home education will occur.
or
The outline could be more detailed ... following the units and topics of
each of the textbooks you are using or by visiting World
Book online and following their typical course of study (their outline) by
grade level.
Some homeschoolers list all of their textbooks in
this section or sometimes even the name of the curriculum and grade levels they
are using. A list of basic materials with no specifics is also acceptable,
for example:
Textbooks
Workbooks
Maps
The Holy Bible
World history materials
Ohio history materials
Resource materials - dictionaries, thesaurus, encyclopedias, etc.
Newspaper subscription
Magazine subscriptions
Library loan materials
Basic office supplies
Multimedia resources including but not limited to video tapes, cassettes,
software, etc. Musical recordings
Computer and Internet access
Family activities
Church activities
Sport activities
Field trips
Pen pals
Games
Pets
Musical Instruments
Community Resources- fine arts, concerts, county fairs, volunteer work, etc.
Home School Support group resources and activities
This list is truly never-ending.
