Let Me Count the Ways. There are as many ways to homeschool as there are ways for children to learn.
Parents usually start with the traditional classroom model, because that s what they know.
A curriculum is purchased from one of the leading curriculum vendors, and it outlines everything the child will study in the coming year. Many curriculum packages contain all the textbooks, workbooks, and related materials, as well as telephone support. Unfortunately, some children, especially younger ones, may resist that model. Some parents choose to integrate aspects of the purchased curriculum that were useful, and disregard the rest. A subject a child hated last year might become a favorite this year, so flexibility is a must.
