I cheated. Spouse made the kids (so me) sign up with a charter school... and so they do the diplomas. But my neighbor homeschooled independently.... and they just printed out a diploma from their home printer.

Maybe it depends on the state? But in Alaska you can make your own too, any way you want.

yeah.... it can be very catch and catch can before highschool. Highschool has to be so much more work. blah.

just get a template and fill it in. However, do note that a slightly different name for the same subject can turn the same stuff into a college bound class, verses a junk class. Maybe look up in your state, best high school classes for college bound kids.... see if those names fit what you...

so glad things are working well for you both.

dunno. My eldest, in his first year, is just at a tiny community college. I don't think he would make it if he were living on his own...but living at home I think he will be fine.

maybe they are talking about a "jump start" program, where you can take college classes while still in high school for super little money. Not sure who gets to participate in the "Jump Start" program.

I thought that most community colleges were open enrollment? You just take a test to see what level English and math you need to take. Well, and have a high school diploma, or GED. Is he not getting one or the other?

the link is collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice The stuff on the site is free. you do need to register to use it. You can also use the site to pay for and sign up for real tests.

once your Internet is on, there is a free SAT site that has free practice tests and questions etc. Super helpful

Yes...except..... you are in Pennsylvania. In that state, from what I understand, it will still work out, and you should be able to teach him, but you will have to register at the local public school and actually record hours spent doing "school stuff" and keep samples of his work, etc. Best...

Yeah....I am with you. I am so happy I have more than 1.... eases the "getting rid of" phase.

Yeah...stressful. ..... My oldest 2 are out and about thus summer..... Eldest almost never drops me a text, second just called me for the first time after having been gone over a month.... Ah, whatever..... I would prefer a bit more of a transition period, verses kid under roof and underfoot...

1. Nope 2. Eh.... I independently homeschooled for years. I signed up with a public school charter school homeschool group when eldest entered highschool....because spouse wanted a transcript for the kid....and here in Alaska if you sign up you get money from the state to homeschool and we...

Yep, I have found the more they like the work, the easier it is to get it done.

14... blach to highschool. However, homeschooling is great. :) Welcome

Eh... it depends. I researched it a bit when my kids were starting Highschool... and there is a decent amount of variation. One big factor is if the kid is a math wiz, or struggles. The math wiz group do higher level maths... if the kid struggles with math you want to pick the more practical...

After all of the stuff I have tried, the only thing that really works is a real live human. Find a neighbor that you trust with your kids that speaks a foreign language to be a tutor. Or find someone at an old folks home or retirement community that will talk to the kid in whatever foreign...

My first two weren't capable of doing anything on their own in the elementary years. :rolleyes: At this point most of them do their work by themselves, I sit in the middle of the room and crack a whip. (Metaphorically speaking) For "do it on your own" my favorite math is teaching...
