I don't have an answer By Lottalove

I don't have an opinion about a particular homeschool curriculum. My advice is for the parents to pick whichever one they want for the academics and then join a (good) local homeschool association. A good association can

provide things from resources to social networking opportunities. They offer sports teams and band practice among other things--some have cooperative learning groups or offer used resources at a discounted rate. Sometimes it just helps to know other people who are going through the same thing. The parents can still control their amount of involvement too. There is also some measure of accountability

there so the parents and child more easily "stay the course."

I am an ex-social worker and too readily remember cases where the intention was good and the cause justified but the child and parents got sidetracked and the child learned nothing of signifigance and fell hopelessly behind. Good luck to your friends.
