If you have decided to home school you kids you need to know that there are many home school resources out there that are free and can help you develop your lesson plans. Using these home school resources can significantly decrease the amount of time that you as a parent spend developing plans for you kids and increase the amount of time that you spend educating.

Whatever you reason for home schooling your children you need to understand that you are going to need help in educating them. This does not mean that you can not teach them what you want, but rather that you need to make sure they are getting everything they need for a well rounded education.

What a Home School Resource Center Provides You

There are many things you gain by using a home school resource group. The first of which is lesson plans. These plans will carefully detail and outline everything you need to make sure that your curriculum meets the states requirements. It is paramount that you make sure to meet these requirements or your children could be in danger of being put back into public school. By following the guidelines you find in the home school resource group you can make sure that this does not happen.

The next thing you get is the support of other members of the group. I have seen many times home school parents will work together to help educate each others kids. This is highly effective as in most cases it can be very difficult to have to educate your kids completely on an island. The other benefit of this is that the other parent can bring in a little bit of a different view to what you are teaching. Diversity is a good thing and if your children plan to go to college getting this experience at a young age is invaluable.

The other thing you get from using the home school resources is tests and quizzes. While you may know what you want to teach your children, writing tests and quizzes is not only time consuming but it can be very difficult. It is much easier to use a set of pre-generated and completed tests then to create your own. Plus you can a large selection of tests to choose from so that you can mix it up and still give frequent exams.

These are just some of the benefits. There are many others and the best way to discover them is to search out and use the home school resources on your own.
