Posted in reviews

When I was given the opportunity to obtain a copy of Homeschooling the Highschooler from Transcript to Graduation.   I jumped at it.   With my oldest entering highschool this year I could use all the advice I could get. Wait…… he is finishing his first year of high school!! Yikes! They grow up so fast.

 

I received this e-book and started reading it on the computer. I quickly realized that this was just not going to work. There was too much information and my eyes would do much better with print. And then I could mark things up and make notes as I read.  I tend to make notes in my studies a lot.   So I printed it up. After the boys were in bed one night I snuggled up on the couch with a cup of coffee, my highlighter and pen and started reading.

 

I have not finished reading the whole thing. I am especially interested in the information regarding apprenticeships and entrepreneurs.   I skimmed over this and will have to go back and reread to get all the details I missed.

 

I am very pleased with this book. It is a collection of informative articles from many homeschoolers who have been there. I found much encouragement, tips, and advice for homeschooling my sons through highschool.  It shows how to know that home high school is for you and how to go about recordkeeping and options for highschool classes It also encourages parents to seek Gods will for their student and form their high school education around the students strengths and learning styles.

 

A very practical and well done e-book,  I would recommend this to anyone looking for ideas and encouragement that yes highschool is doable at home.

My oldest is only in 4th grade, but these decisions must be made BEFORE that time, so just curious....did your son ever ask to go to school? Where you concerned about him jumping from h.s. to college? I'm commited to hsing through middle school, then I'm stuck. I'm just not sure what direction to go. Christian high school or homeschool.
You can email me or post on my blog. I'm just sorting through my thoughts.

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
Is 54:13-14
