<p>i basically homeschool myself, and it's really hard to find any other study materials than from books. the thing is, i like doing other activities and stuff.</p>
<p>if you are a parent homeschooling a middle school or highschool kid, can you tell me where you get your 'activitish' resources?</p>
<p>or....do you get it at all?</p>
<p>Where do you live?</p>
<p>Could you please be a little more specific?</p>
<p>When I home schooled my boys, we we were part of a large home school group that participated in field trips, book discussions, etc. For art, we hired an art teacher (for the group & on our own). My sons took piano lessons from a piano teacher. As far as sports go, there are many that you can join in your community. </p>
<p>I live in Cleveland, OH, and there were many places that offered classes & activities for home schoolers. The Cleveland Metroparks, the Cleveland Zoo, etc. If you have a theatre or an orchestra in your area we were also able to purchase tickets for daytime shows (the same ones that local schools participate in).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>well, i'm an individual home schooler, so i basically am on my own. my parents don't teach me. i get the books, take a few classes in writing and science, and that's basically it. i just want to know a few websites where i can find other ways of learning than just reading and answering questions/</p>
<p>i live in ca, by the way. thanks!</p>
<p>Well, here's a fun one for learning about stocks. You can set up your own pretend portfolio and see how it does over time, buying and selling as you choose. (My son's has done much better than mine!) It uses actual prices and such, so is very realistic.</p>
<p>check out MIT OpenCourseWare. Many of the courses include lectures on streaming video.<a href="http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html</a></p>

<p>I'm a senior in high school, and I have homeschooled myself for the past five years. There are numerous ways to learn without paying too much money or going too far out of your way.</p>
<p>Cornell has CyberTower, which is pretty cool (and free): <a href="http://cybertower.cornell.edu/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://cybertower.cornell.edu/index.html</a>
The MIT one looks far superior, though.</p>
<p>Search for homeschool groups in your area. If you live in or near a large city, there will probably be networks of homeschoolers. They plan field trips and other outings that you'll probably enjoy. Other than that, think outside the box! When I was studying geology, I went to dig for fossils and started a rock collection. Don't limit yourself to typical 'school activities'. You can also go to local museums and libraries when they offer lectures or other activities. Community colleges are good resources, too.</p>
<p>thank you everyone! i'll try all of them!! :D</p>
