At the end of the homeschool school year, which runs parallel to the traditional school year, homeschool families meet to celebrate graduations and promotions. We don t just socially promote them like they do in public schools. While regular school promotions are based on how the students move through the curriculum, homeschool parents often go a step farther. Homeschoolers are often recognized for developing moral traits like honesty and responsibility, a facet of homeschooling that isn t provided in public schools. Many of the companies that provide homeschool curriculm are religions organizations.
Religion is also a major factor for most parents who homeschool their children.
Loyda Poy of the Brownsville Independent School District s curriculm department said that the district doesn t promote home schooling, but when students transfer they are no different than any other. Once a student transfers, he or she must follow the district s policy. We offer credit by exams. But the student must start all over. It s not necessarily better, it s just the instruction is different.
