What curriculum should I use? What about socialization? ... Where can I get help when I need it? HOMESCHOOL FAQ's Can I really do this? The most common misperception about homeschooling is that you must have a college degree or some other special qualifications to teach your own children. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are perfectly qualified to teach your children just because they are your children. No matter how competent and devoted a professional teacher may be, that teacher can never know or love your child as deeply as you do. And since love underlies all true learning, homeschooling parents actually have an advantage over professional teachers. [See also page 9 herein: Are You Qualified to Homeschool?] What do homeschoolers do all day? Most people who ask this question are operating out of their own public-school experience and are hoping to be handed a schedule showing reading at nine o'clock, math at ten, history at eleven, and so forth. In fact, many homeschoolers do begin by patterning their homes after the public schools, but few of us do it for long, because we quickly find better ways. Home school is not just 'school' at home; it's a completely different approach to education. We feel that life itself is the best possible school. What curriculum should I use?

Program Name Parent Education Resource Center (PERC) Program Description PERC offers an extensive lending library of books, toys, filmstrips, pamphlets, and education kits on child development and parenting, which are available on loan to parents and children at no charge. A drop-in play area allows children to explore the toys quietly while their parents browse. The center is open all day on school days and until 7:00 p.m. one night a week. PERC staff members are available during open hours to match the resources of the program and the community to parents' requests and needs. Evening classes are held as well on such topics as gifted children, how to cope with learning disabilities, and stress management. Population Served Any parent in Davis County may use the services of PERC. Davis County is a narrow strip of suburbia stretching between Ogden and Salt Lake City, two metropolitan centers in northern Utah. Ninety percent of the county population is White and many of PERC's participants are low income. History In 1976 at the urging of its director of pupil services, the Davis Country School District responded to a request for proposals from the Utah Department of Adult Education, volunteering Davis County as a pilot site for a fledgling parent resource program. The Davis County School District's social work department worked with the parent-teacher association and other community agencies to develop the model for PERC. In 1979 the state set up eight additional centers modeled on the Davis program. After 1979 the school districts became responsible for funding the programs.
