For one thing, 16 year old boys are past the point of spending big chunks of time at the kitchen table with Mom. And this allows them to stretch their wings, a little at a time. It seems like a good "transition".<br /><br />It also allows me to not have to learn trig, but that has NO BEARING on the issue. Really, I would love to learn it (insert sarcasm here! :) ).<br /><br />I plan to have them take basic freshman classes there while in high school, and get some of that out of the way. Plus, once they have college credits that high school diploma is not quite as as important, four year colleges will be more interested in what they did at the college level. <br /><br />I don't anticipate that all four of my boys will go to four year colleges, some may go into technical training, or the military. But I think the community college is a good jumping-off place for them.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482605092565314258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773858642097805226.post-50763139165485296692011-01-20T06:31:01.589-08:002011-01-20T06:31:01.589-08:00It's never too soon to start thinking about hi...It's never too soon to start thinking about high school. You are wise to begin now, looking over different curricula, finding his style, checking to see what your options are.<br /><br />There also might be homeschool co-ops in your area that teach some high school classes. We have them here, so i know there are some around the country. Look into them now, let them know of your interest, get on an early waiting list if you want.<br /><br />It takes planning, and you are right to start planning.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773858642097805226.post-1611772897902193652011-01-19T21:54:30.404-08:002011-01-19T21:54:30.404-08:00i'm not sure what state you're in, but it ...i'm not sure what state you're in, but it seems like you're homeschooling independently? we recently started with a charter and i love it. one thing that has been in the back of my mind is that since they are accredited, we'll be able to earn a high school diploma through them. there still is a little stigma attached to a GED, but that's always a possibility. anyway, good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853178747718782705noreply@blogger.com
