📣“Can I work and homeschool?” Yes! It is possible
I'm at the park, and I meet a lady there. It's about 1:00 p.m. I think to myself, "Oh, do you homeschool?" Because, of course, who would have their kids at the park at 1:00 p.m. if they weren't homeschooling or in school-age care?
"Oh no," she replies, "I just took him out for his birthday."
She then asked me some questions about homeschooling, specifically how it could be done while working, since she works full-time.
I explained that I know many people who work full-time and homeschool their kids. Some do their homeschooling at night or on weekends, and they might have a family member or co-op during the day. Others work from home while their kids do their schoolwork online or participate in various activities.
I know people who are nurses and work nights and weekends, which allows them to be home during the day. There are also families where the kids do some kind of home pod or home sharing with a neighbor to get things done while the parents go to work and then come back.
If you want to homeschool your kids, it depends on your state's rules.
In Virginia, we have no curriculum requirements and no specific hours required, as long as you are evaluated at the end of the year with a list of different tests or evaluations that are allowed. (See heav.org for all the rules)
You can really work around your home schedule, depending on your family's dynamic.
If you have any questions about homeschooling in Virginia, I recommend checking out the Fun Schoolers website for resources, how to get started, and what paperwork is required.
