[blparent] Home schooling?

[Marianne Haas]

Hi,
There is a yahoo group for parents of blind home schoolers.  Maybe they have
resources.

Hi list.

So we’ve been doing the public school thing for a wile now and we’re not
impressed.  I started looking in to home schooling but Clay is concerned how
I would do it being blind.  Does any one know if curriculums are available
in Braille and print?  Also as I looked in to home schooling I found this
thing where you sign up for a privet school and even though your child is
considered a private school student, you can choose your own curriculum and
teach at home, but your child is stile able to receive a diploma.  But wile
researching homes schooling I found information that makes it look like a
diploma is less important for higher education because their more interested
in your transcripts.  Does any one know more about this?  I would love to
get thoughts on this and am hoping there are others who have researched home
schooling or even better, some who have that are blind?

What ever information you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kate
