My mom wants to homeschool my 13 yr old sis who is going to the 8th grade?
Where and how does she get register?
where and how does she get the curriculum and books for the 8th grade-are they free, where can i get free books for the 8th grade?
In a sense, how does homeschooling works in new jersey-what are the requirements?
Thank you
Homeschooling is easy in New Jersey. I am homeschooling my daughter for her second year. She is 12 and we did it last year. I just had to send a letter to the superintendent of schools to let him know that we would be homeschooling. Your mom can devise what ever curriculum she chooses and long as she meets all the requirements for what your little sis should be studying. The internet is a great place to start. You can buy packages for her grade which are very expensives. I went on the different websites and came up with my own program for my daughter and it cost under $300 total. You can also get information for different subjects online for free and you can also take books out at the library. This is what I am teaching my daughter this year for 7th grade: world history, life science, pre-algebra and geometry, grammer, vocabulary, literature, geography, spanish, health, art, music, and gym. She should do all the subjects that she would be doing if she were in regular school. Make sure your mom keeps good records. I saved all of my daughters work in a box and I keep a detailed lesson planner with all her subjects and work she was doing each day and I kept a record of her grades. You don’t have to do standardized testing in New Jersey but if you do, keep those in her records. Make a list of all the books that she is using for the year. You want really good records for if and when your sister goes back to school.

In addition to what Chloe said, remember that you aren’t required to "start school" at the same time that public schools start. Your mom should take her time and look over materials.
There is a lot of free resources online, and the library is a great resource. Only buy what you can’t borrow or use online. Don’t waste money just to "have something". Many subjects can be studied without any texts at all.
