I just moved to Texas with my husband and we've got an issue. We've been planning to home school our daughter since we found out I was pregnant. I have no idea on how to find the restrictions on home schooling in Texas. I know there's got to be some kind of regulation on it. Living on a military base, we're afraid of the influences she'll have in her life because they try and make the soldiers look like great heroes that can do no wrong. Well, that's given a lot of the soldiers some ego... I saw one soldier almost get hit by a car because he walked right out in front of it expecting the driver to stop. Neither my husband nor I believe in the war he's going to fight in (he's just doing his job) so we don't want that passing to our child. They've also cut all the gifted programs from the school system and are starting to cut the programs for special needs kids. I don't want my daughter to go to a school where it's middle of the road or nothing. I've already been told she'll probably be in gifted or advanced classes when she's in school by the evaluations she went through when she refused to talk for a while. I want those programs to be availible to her in any school she attends. So how do I go about finding answers? Being in the military where we may move every couple years, would it be better to enroll her in an online program? I've seen a couple mentioned. Can anyone recommend a good one? My daughter's only about four and it'll be a year before she'll be in school, but I want to be prepared.
