The public school I'm in is very difficult. There's fights, teachers have no time with the crowded classrooms, and there are no AP classes offered in any high schools around. Even if there were, with the constant disruptions and teachers sprawled across trying to stop kids from beating eachother up and sitting in their seats and trying to teach, there's only time for rote memorization anyhow. And the curriculum resources even here are unclear, so my after school studying is a struggle. I'm not doing the curriculum entirely alone, but I am trying to curate clear resources and a general plan ahead of time for May when we will begin discussing high school, I can show them the things I have found that could create a proper homeschooling highschool.

How do I do homeschooling right this time? After this summer, i'm about to start high school. Ideally, I want to do homeschooling for the rest of my secondary education. But I need to figure out how do make that possible, first. I had to come back to public school because it was so hard for me to find a curriculum, and still is. I struggled with using the common core and understanding which topics were in it, and most of the curriculums I were able to find were more of syllabuses, and I didn't know what lessons to start first, and at what time I should be on a specific subject. I was generally using khan academy and textbooks, and anytime I went on general testing things like parcc practice tests I could find, I was always so confused. I was doing polynomials before touching functions because I got confused on the khan academy curriculum. I got so worried that I just recently came back to public school, expecting a stressful environment and little in-class retention but at the very least a defined curriculum which would allow me to study after school, but public school has been awful, and I have hardly gotten anything near a defined curriculum. Long story short; For the rest of high school, I want to continue homeschooling. I expect hesitation from my family and rightly so after what has happened; but I want to figure out a way to conquer them and make things work this time for the rest of my secondary education. My goals are to pursue math and programming in college, and generally get good grades so I can get accepted into a college that will let me pursue those things, I'd like to graduate early. After this summer I will be beginning high school, and I'm not sure where to begin homeschooling for high school, a lot of problems and worries have been running around my mind. Firstly, curriculum. I don't know how to use common core, I search up "CCSS.Math.Content.8.F.A.3 lessons" and don't really find much. A few worksheets on occasion, but no lessons to go along with it, so locating what topic the worksheet is in is another hassle. All I used before were general math textbooks, not aligned to a grade, so I found myself getting confused at times on what I should focus on and for how long. I'd like to find a curriculum which has the times of which I should pursue topics (for example: march, 2 weeks) and the specific lessons in topics so locating a lesson video to watch is relatively easy. And how do I find worksheets and tests? That's been another difficult thing for me, I usually just scrounged around on free worksheet websites, and struggled on parcc practice tests because I never really knew what exact topics were being done. And that's just for math, I'm not even sure where to begin on figuring out science, English and social studies curriculum, finding work for those has been even harder.. I just generally want a curriculum so that if I was suddenly transported to a public school class, or taking a test, I wouldn't be confused on what topics we were on. And once I find a curriculum, where do I begin with grading and transcripts? I'm worried that my curriculum won't be seen as good enough, that admissions will judge it. Do you have to list what curriculum's you used for the courses? And how do you grade and get credits? I'm a bit worried about accidentally cheating, mostly because my process goes like this: I watch the lesson, do my worksheets, look at the answer key and compare my answer, and if I get it wrong I usually go back to the lesson and do it again till it's right. Are your first answers final? What process are you supposed to use for doing your work for grading when homeschooled? And how do you prepare for tests? Are you given the actual test in a curriculum, or are you given a sample test then you go somewhere for the real one? If you're given the actual test, is it okay to look at the questions to figure out which topics to study for it, or are you given sample questions? Who do you give the test to when you're done, or do you grade it yourself? How do you calculate your grades? How do you weigh, or unweigh them? How do you use the 4.0 scale? All this terminology is new to me in general, I'm not really sure where to begin. How do I get credits? I hear it's about finishing a course, but what are general ways I prove I've finished? I keep getting worried that admissions will be dissapointed with things like time4learning and library textbooks, I'm just not sure what they wont want to see. How do you have a curriculum that admissions will respect? How do I do summer school when homeschooled? Or AP classes? I've also been wanting to take some online high school courses as well, but I've been afraid that they're too expensive. Are there affordable ones? And if I do find some, how do I add merge the courses with my textbook curriculum in my transcript? And once it's all finished, how do I begin researching on colleges and figuring out how to apply myself to colleges as a homeschooler? Can I go to a university as a homeschooler? How do I get scholarships and Aid? And how do I just generally proof my curriculum and work, to make sure my education isn't seen as less than a 'real' school? How do I get my diploma? For other people who have been in my boat, what guided you? Where did you begin and what helped you figure out the process? What's the way a college bound homeschooler approaches homeschooling? Sorry for all these questions, I recently came to this forum, and just need help. I really want to continue homeschooling for the rest of my secondary education, but I just need to find the resources to succeed.
