You have a few options. In some states, there are online public schools. They don't cost anything and it's an online school, so your daughter can stay at home and go to public school online. One example is K12. Another option is to homeschool. If you go to http://www.hslda.org, you can look up your state and find the requirements to homeschool legally. In most states, you have to file paperwork so the state knows that you are homeschooling your daughter rather than simply letting her constantly miss school.
If you homeschool, there are plenty of curricula out there that you can purchase or you can make your own. You can contact your local homeschool group ( the HSLDA website has links or you can Google search it) and they can make recommendations for local curricula and activities. Also, make sure to document everything you do. There are enough homeschoolers that most colleges out there have procedures for accepting homeschooled children, but the more documentation you have (i.e. what textbooks you used, whether you took music classes from someone, if you volunteered for anything and how many hours, etc.) the easier it will be. I homeschooled from sixth through twelfth grade, and I loved it. I went to a good private college and actually received a scholarship dedicated to valedictorians since I was first (and only) in my class. I now have a good job and a good family. Good luck. |
