There are buttons on the review page that will allow you to print and /or save. Additionally, after you have submitted it, you can review the schpool report and save it as well. I just did.

To the OP: Could you break up your Course Descriptions into 2 files. Call one say...9th-10th Grade Courses, and the other 11th & 12th Grade Courses?

Each and every one.

I used HST+ to document everything I did in home schooling since middle school - I am so glad I did. Last year was my first round of the Common App. I saved my school profile, courses, etc on my computer, and I made print copies of it all. Again, I am glad I made those printed copies because in the middle of this year's application the hard drive on my 7+ yr old computer bit the dust! Wah! I was able to scan last year's printed copies (I am a slow typist) and not have to re-invent the wheel. I am also relieved that I had at least backed up the HST+ database before the computer crash (don't ask about the 4 years of pictures that I did not back up).

When you say you are new to this, are you new to home schooling or just the high school part? Have your read Lori D's pinned post at the beginning of the forum? It is a great place to start. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/418045-starting-high-school-outsourcing-online-class-tutors-dual-enroll-ap-psat-satact-sat-ii-clep-ged-links-to-past-threads-here/ I did not buy a full curriculum. I loosely followed SWB's Well Trained Mind and suggestions here on this board.

I was in Air Force ROTC many many many many many moons ago... so this is my perspective from then. Also, I did have their 4 yr scholarship, so I was required to participate. I would do it again, even if it weren't required. A cadet learns so much and has pretty much an instant "family" when they enroll. I majored in Mechanical Engineering which required close to a full schedule for all four years. My electives were limited to about 3 or four classes and only one of my ROTC classes counted for graduation. It took me almost 5 years to graduate (but many took four). ROTC classes are not difficult and signing up to take them is not competitive; getting a ROTC scholarship is though. When I attended college, a student could take the first two years (scholarship or not if I remember correctly) of classes and decide if it was for her. When she showed up her junior year it was a commitment to the military. If she dropped out of school, she would be required to go enlisted. I am not sure how much, if any, the military financially helped students who weren't on scholarship during their last two years.

My son's score went up 110 points overall (still not steller, but hey, a cool improvement). Some colleges (and you have to look at the one's your dc is wanting to get in) do have minimum SAT, GPA combinations for scholarships. So, if for instance my son wanted to get into University of B, he would need to add 30 points between his CR/M scores to qualify for $3000 more per year of scholarship. It would be worth our while to have him try one more time.

I was married in a previous life and took my husband's name. I was happy to do it. But after a while I got tired of it and I missed my old last name. :laugh: Well, we divorced and I went through changing my name back swearing I would never change it again. Husband #2 comes around and I compromise by hyphenating. Boy did that become a pain when I played substitute teacher. The kid-dos didn't really understand hyphenation, so they were confused. It is still hyphenated, but now I don't really give a rip what I am called (just nothing nasty please).

You will only be able to pry that resource from my cold dead hands. I also agree with Prof Vandiver and Prof Fears. ETA: The Well Trained Mind. Without it, and this forum, I would not have known where to begin (and have it meaningful).

Wish I had something to give you. The best I can do is this bump.

I believe the sequence is Diogenes: Maxim, then Diogenes: Cheria. I am not a writer and I thought it gave a great foundation for a systematic approach to writing. I have to say that it took me a bit of time to "get" why they put together the curriculum together the way they did.

:iagree: It's always the first thing I think about during these kind of situations - "just think of the good they could do with that talent". Alas, there will always be the naughty. But then again, where would we be without adversity (she asks flippantly as one who will not be cleaning up the mess)?

I didn't need anything from NCAA, so I can't help you there. I did not "upload" the transcript from the college my daughter took her DE classes, so I don't believe you need to have the high school's transcript uploaded as one of your four. The cc transcripts were sent separately. I used HST+ for my information and the format just looked better having a course description on a separate report from the resources than having the two combined. I included a description of the college classes by either using their on-line catalog, or the instructor's syllabus. I began my description as follows: "Five credit college class administered and graded by XYZ Community College." Then pasted the description.

My course descriptions were separate from my resource list. My resources were arranged by courses.

I love the color I have that goes well with wood. It is called Semolina, it is a Benjamin Moore Color. It might be conidered a yellow side of pumpkin (or an orangy yellow). Another color that might go well is Urban Nature (another Ben Moore- no I am not a dealer). It is a light sagey green. Sent from my SM-T110 using Tapatalk

My daughter ended up just working two jobs, then going on a 5 week trip to Europe with a friend (they made all the arrangements). The mind-numbing work of retail and life guarding solidified her desire to go back to school. She also learned it would be great to have a decent paying job to travel more.

We moved our daughter in today! We never did get to meet her roommate (a busy college athlete), but dd's neighbors were super friendly and warm. I must say that most of the girls looked like they were about 16. But then again, my daughter is 5'11" and 19 y.o. I suspect her roomie will look 13 since she is a gymnast.

My DD 9th - Spanish outsourced, the rest at home 10th - Spanish outsourced, the rest at home 11th - Dual Enrollment all 12th - Dual Enrollment all AA and high school diploma simultaneously DS 9th - German outsource, rest at home 10th - German and Algebra II outsource, rest at home 11th - Dual Enrollment all 12th - Dual Enrollment all AA and high school diploma simultaneously (the plan, since he is a senior this year) I offered the DE to both kids and they took it. In our state we pay for fees and books only, so it is reasonably priced. In the poll I did not include sports and band.

I did this, too.

My dd does not move into the dorms until Sept 23, then starts class on the 28th. Until then, she is trying to fit in a million things and she's on an emotional roller coaster! :glare:

LoriD gave a suggested schedule with optional chapters in this thread (see entry #4) : http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/350602-before-i-reinvent-the-wheel-anyone-have-lesson-plans-for-conceptual-physics-hs/?hl=%2Bconceptual+%2Bphysics&do=findComment&comment=6528843

Stephen King's The Stand has good versus evil. It's sweeping in that there is a world-wide catastrophe.

Goodness. I doubt that there is anyway of "hiding" a previous injury. Way back in the days of the barbarians, when I went through my physical, it was quite thorough. It must be even more so now.

Gosh Margaret, I am so sorry for your daughter! I don't get how the Army can make her pay back schooling for a medical issue that obviously was caused by their training.

Ooooo...so I will continue to hope and dream for my son. Thank you.
