  1. Thats how my family homeschooled and my kids have excelled. :)
  2. There are tons of videos on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cake+decorating
  3. I agree and also believe that the "us versus them" mentality will lead to unwanted government oversite of homeschoolers.
  4. I'm in south Louisiana. My kids have been in the "Approved Home Study Program" for 15 years. There is no requirement for testing by the state board of education. Parents can test if they want to. I always did the portfolio review....aka "Curriculum Packet". The benefit to being in the "approved home study program" is at the high school level. Students who are in the program have the distinction of the mommy made diploma holding the same weight as an BESE-approved non-public school. That means that these students cannot be discriminated against by technical colleges, police departments, beauty schools and such. Mommy made diplomas from a Registered Nonpublic School (Not Seeking State Approval) aka "private school option" are not recognized by the state, technical colleges, beauty schools, and such. Another benefit is the TOPS Scholarship. My two oldest are both receiving a TOPS Scholarship.
  5. I know that there is a free version of Pearson's MyMathLab called InterActMath. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a free version of Pearson's MyWritingLab?
  6. This is a link to high school exit exams listed by state. https://sites.google.com/site/highschoolexits/home/examsbystate
  7. I was not suggesting that you give her a fake transcript.
  8. This is just a thought...please don't flame me! What about having her study for the GED, when she is able get a passing score on the GED practice tests....issue her a homeschool diploma. Honestly, my oldest kids never had any outside grade verification except ACT scores.. They are both in college. My son just finished his sophmore year and has a 4.0 GPA. My daughter just finished her freshman year and has a 3.6 GPA.
  9. No I don't regret the fact that we were consistantly rigorous in the early years. :)
  10. I printed a diploma for my son and daughter on cardstock and ordered the diploma covers from Jones School Supply. http://www.jonesawards.com/Shop/Details/DCBK/
