Anyone ever homeschool part time and public school part time?(x-posted in learning at home) - Page 2

My dc did ft hs with pt electives at a private school (where I also taught). It worked great for us, although I agree w pp that the "socialization" was not a plus & they were daily frustrated with how little time was spent on topic compared to how much time was spent dealing w student behavior & classroom management.

As far as I know, in the states, *ALL* children of compulsory age have a legal right to attend public school & to make use of the available funding & resources (I mean, it makes sense-- hs parents pay taxes that fund public schools, too, right?) It is hs that is legally restricted, not public school. So theoretically, it should be possible everywhere. Now, back to reality-- it really does depend on how cooperative the locals are; sorry.

I'd contact HSLDA-- they are awesome re answering HS legal questions. HTH.

While all kids have a right to attend school, if you opt to attend school, you are required to follow the rules, including the hours and Attendence requirements.

The schools are required by law to make sure that students receive certain numbers of hours of instruction , a certain amount of recess , etc.

Having different hours is a big deal.
