Homeschool Fast Track: A Personalized Introduction to Homeschooling for African-American Families.
Many homeschooling groups report a record number of inquiries during the months of December and January. Why? Because many students receive negative report cards/evaluations from their schools that some parents feel are inaccurate.
True Story: It's Fall and a recently relocated homeschooling family enrolls their 6yr old in a A+ school district in a predominately white community. As per the school policy requiring testing for all homeschooled students, the school tests the child and determines (to their amazement) that he performs at the 3rd grade level. The school wants to place the child in a 3rd grade classroom, but after much insistence from his parents that he remain with children his own age, the school agrees to place him in the 1st grade "Gifted" program.
Immediately, the parents notice changes in their son's attitude and behavior. They receive phone calls about their son causing disturbances in class. Notes are sent home about incomplete assignments and poor test scores. Come January, the school recommends that the child be removed from the gifted program and placed in a special education classroom pending evaluation for ADD/ADHD.
Fortunately, for this family, they knew they had options and immediately withdrew the child from school and resumed homeschooling. But there are other families who may not know where to turn or how to get started homeschooling. Enter Homeschool Fast Track, created especially for African-American families who want to know more about homeschooling.
