I need general info on homeschooling

[Jaybird1980]

I'll loop back around to say that this is what we did as a stepping stone. We switched to K12 for a year, then just didnt re-enroll and started doing it ourselves. Its a good way to get your feet wet without being overwhelmed. It also helped to surround ourselves with other homeschool families for support. That was TREMENDOUS. We couldnt have done it nearly as easily without that support. Kinda like INGO. Just like if I have a question about a gun (or nearly anything now as it seems there is someone from nearly every profession here) I can come here, we are able to ask other HS families about input.

And dont sweat not having a diploma. My MiL retired from IUPUC admissions. They didnt care the incoming student didnt have a diploma. The student was just instructed to take appropriate general classes the first semester. They were put on academic probation that first semester. If they proved they could cut it, they could continue.

We have been talking about going more traditional homeschooling next year, but my daughter is enjoying knocking out some college credited classes and the fact that we supplement in the extras we want already. We are still undecided at this point. What do you think the benefits would be?

Sorry, I dont understand your question.

Sorry, I dont understand your question.

I was just curious what you think is the biggest benefit to doing it on your own vs using K12?

Choice of curriculum.

The SAT/ACT tests look for skill in reading, writing and arithmetic. There is no real need for the other pablum force fed into .gov ed system.

You can also look at modernstates.org which has free course materials that are accepted by colleges. They even offer testing that can get your kid through the first year of college.
