Some school districts are more supportive of home schooling than others. Schools in some other South Shore communities do allow participation in team sports. Many area Christian home-schooled children take physical education, computer and foreign language classes at South Shore Christian Academy in Duxbury. The school loans the gymnasium to the students and provides teacher tutors for a small fee. The academy has a home-school liaison, who disseminates advice and information and helps connect parents with support groups and community resources.
Libraries also have extensive resources for home educators.
As a result, the kids become more individual and more sure of who they are, as opposed to measuring up to peers. They're not intimidated. We're at the library a lot. They can study the things they're interested in, so they go the extra mile on them and excel in areas they're gifted in. Every child is gifted in different areas.
