Homeschool teachers<BR>
<BR>
The teacher is the key to the success of homeschooling. In most<BR>
cases, the teacher is a parent or a close relative. In some cases, <BR>
parents may divide the subjects between them. Rarely, if both <BR>
parents are busy, they may hire a homeschool teacher. Whatever the <BR>
case, children need time with their parents. Parents, as a rule, <BR>
make very good teachers.<BR>
<BR>
Teaching does not involve a clinical presentation of facts. <BR>
Learning has to be integrated lovingly into daily life for it to <BR>
interest the child. That is where parents come in. Grandparents <BR>
also make great teachers, especially since they have an abundance <BR>
of patience. <BR>
<BR>
If you feel anxious about your skill or knowledge, relax. There <BR>
are countless homeschooling resources that are aimed at helping <BR>
you. Professional curriculum packages, support groups, online help <BR>
desks, virtual schools and library resources are all available. <BR>
When you start out, you may want to make use of the commercial <BR>
curriculum packages. Readymade software also allows you to record <BR>
and log important achievements.<BR>
<BR>
Local support groups are an excellent source of help, ideas and <BR>
material. This is where you get to meet experienced homeschoolers, <BR>
who will be more than happy to offer their insight and advice. <BR>
Once you settle into the homeschooling routine, you will find <BR>
yourself tailoring the curriculum to suit your own needs. <BR>
