Dear Christie,
I am getting really discouraged with homeschooling my son. He can't do ANYTHING independently. I will show him how to simplify a fraction, for example, and he will not understand it. I will walk him through it, but he can't do it a second later. It is as if he has lost ALL his skills. He doesn't seem to understand what he reads, or very minimally. Do I go back and teach 3rd grade skills or what do I do?

Dear E.
Your highschooler needs consistency. You need to teach the new skills and constantly revisit the old skills so he doesn't loose them. He needs a minimum of 3-4 hours daily to cover all of the areas of need and a solid 4-5 days a week with no long breaks (fall, winter, spring or summer). At this point he doesn't need to take time off, he needs solid, consistent instruction.
Blessings,
Christie |
