Homeschooling High School - Everything You Need To Get Started 

It lasts less than a minute.

Who u purchase from? I need info on this

I had the same problem. Video games are addictive. We had to stop the games and refocus our son's attention away from games. I recommend starting character training. Bob Schultz has some good books addressing laziness, work ethic, overcoming fear, pain & anxiety, etc. Sit with him and read the lessons aloud. Be supportive and calm when doing the lessons.

@@iujulieonsix7832 totally agree with your post advice....i have Bob Shultz books and will be reading at bedtime...which is a good time for us..also my 8th grader will be reading, created for work which I discovered on generations curriculum website, as a character training lesson, part of our school day

This is where it comes down to who runs the house. He would not be playing any games on the computer at all or any type of electronics. That's why technology can be dangerous these days. Mine get a certain amount of time on electronics then they better find something to do with other siblings or outside. Their devices will lock automatically after a certain amount of time and at a certain time and I have it so they won't unlock until a certain time. If they can't do school work they won't get any electronics whatsoever.

@@juliacarter1280 Excuse me but in my home none of my children (two whom are adults already)ever run the house. He doesn't play games all day. He wants to do so, but he is not allowed until he us done with his work. However, he does seem to puts more interest in the games than what he needs to learn.

@@irisrivera4138 maybe use his interest in games to get him to begin learning computer programming fundamentals or other computer related fields. There are a ton of books out there that are fun and easy to follow. Lots of forums for him to ask questions if he gets stuck. Hope that helps

Hi,what you do with your son he still with homeschool?

My daughter will be homeschooled for 9th grade and am wondering what homeschool system you used such as K12 etc?

First, don't worry about accreditation. Only schools can be accredited -- curriculum can not. You will need to create a transcript which typically means issuing grades. There might be ways to do a transcript without a grade, but I usually want my transcript to look as typical as possible so I do the grading.

If the high schooler finishes all the courses in under 9 months they can begin new courses and potentially graduate early or you can finish the rest of the nine months with an unschooling approach.

No, I provide the equivalent of a high school education for each child -- using my single undergraduate degree plus some good old-fashioned common sense. You are trying to insinuate that homeschool parents need an undergrad degree for each subject their child studies. This is not the case. Homeschool students learn from tutors, dual enrollment, online classes, and by interacting with engaging materials through self-study. As a parent, I might provide some direct instruction or I might simply connect my child with the best learning resource.

@@PamBarnhill I'm not insinuating anything. I'm a retired French teacher and don't begrudge anyone the freedom to educate their child any way they wish. In fact, I'd love to break into that market as an online French tutor as I am a licensed French teacher in Texas. But, to meet state standards for a state like Massachusetts, which has the highest SAT scores nationwide, and whose HS graduates get into the best universities nationwide, I can't conceive of how any one parent (no matter how "smart" or "educated") could possibly have the breadth and depth of expertise. If you're intent is to educate in other things and that's not important then fine, everyone has that right too. I realize now it came across as condescending, but the title is pretty ambitious. I'm always a sceptic when anyone claims to have all anyone needs for anything (even, and perhaps especially, a public school teacher). Cancel Reply
