Q: How much does it cost to homeschool? A: That depends. If you use a packaged curriculum, it can get fairly expensive - around $800 - $1600 / yr. For some, it is worth the expense. All the work is planned out in a very organized manner, some have a contact teacher to help you along. For other families, a few notebooks, a folder or two, a workbook or two and frequent trips to the library are all it takes - $100 or less

Q: Does anyone have used books I can review or even buy? Is there an annual bookswap? A: The Queens/Brooklyn Chapter Leader of LIGHT has plans to organize a bookswap at LIGHT's annual "Back-to-No-School Picnic" and possibly a second one are LIGHT's annual "End of No-School Picnic". During the between months, some members offer up swaps at their house or a community gathering room. Q: I hear the paperwork is overwhelming in NY, can you help?
