I homeschool but not my own kid! As part of my tutoring business I offer homeschooling. That is allowed here, you can get your kid homeschooled by someone else. You would have to look into the legalities in your area.
My kid didn’t want to be homeschooled, though I, too, seriously considered it. She didn’t want to lose all her friends.
I am a teacher but I have gone into business for myself - tutoring and some educational websites.
I have a 7 month old and I have basically decided I’m not going back to teaching in a school setting, unless God has that in mind for me in the future.
As for people stealing your work, well some people have copied my poems on to their websites but I’m not to worried.
You can Google a phrase and find those words on the net.
If a website had my stuff on it and I didn’t want them to I would contact them and ask them to remove it and then threaten legal action if they didn’t.
As for working for guru.com, you need to pay a membership fee. I made more than that back in the first month. You can easily make $6-8 for a 500 word article. So you need to be fast to turn any kind of a profit. You can however, choose the kinds of articles you would like to write.
I like you and would totally tell you my website but am too totally paranoid. :( Runs in my family. Just if you would slip up and accidentally say my name on here, the record is forever and then stalkers could find me through that as I sort-of have a one of a kind name…:(
I write Cristian Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy short stories and novels. I have written 3 novels that I have ‘finished’. But now I’m re-writing them because I know they are not as good as they could be.
I worked for guru.com writing articles and getting paid for that. The pay is horrible but it is a good way to get some experince writing articles. Most people your write for there though, you end up being a ‘ghost writer’ like your name doesn’t get put on the articles.
I also ’self-publish’ online. I have a poetry/short story website (this is just for fun and for the benefit of the readers) and I also self-publish articles relating to education on a different website that I have (this is to do with my business and to make money from).
Well in the beginning I used to go to school up until 3rd grade and my mom was always hearing about homeschool so finally in third grade she decided to homeschool me and my siblings! I like it a whole lot more than if I was in school because I don’t have to stay in a building all day and be on a schedule (I do have my own schedule but its not anything you’d find in a school system) the people are a really friendly and I’d say there is a lot more freedom, because we can learn things the way we want to learn and we get into things that we are really interested in. As for the social aspect, it is definitely not how most people think of it, even the way we learn isn’t how most people think. I go to something that is kind of like a regular school where a bunch of other home schooled kids get together and we go to classes taught by real teachers (who have home schooled their children) they follow a curriculum but they also add in their own knowledge. Its once a week on thursdays and we go get all our homework for the week there and we learn subjects as if we were in a normal school. There are a variety of classes but I am only taking English, biology and geometry. I learn everything else through my own studies through the internet, books, mom etc. FLVS.net is where I take spanish 2. I have many friends and in the homeschool community, everyone knows everyone else. I am also in a drama group of about 70-100 kids and every year we put on a show that is beyond amazing. Everyone involved has such a great time and we become a huge family. http://starsintheuniverse.com/teacher… this is the website of our drama group. If you look around you might find an organization of home schoolers near you. here is another link to the boca home schoolers page - http://www.bocahomeschoolers.com/
I know exactly what you mean. When he said especially me that really got me thinking, but the problem is that you are the only listed friend I have online right now. I am sorta at a loss.
Naw, I am not even sure exactly what I am supposed to be mad at. I get where you are coming from though when you say that you were becoming less effective. Anyway, how are you?
I just had my fill of people not reading wht I was saying and getting defensive like I was attacking them or insulting them when clearly I was not lol
I guess we all have off days.
That is alright, it’s good you have all the time for your kids.
We went out but i did not enjoy it very much. The period pain has bothered me so much :((
