For those of you with 8th graders considering homeschooling high school...


Recommended Posts

To the original poster and to whomever bumped it so that those of us with our first rising 9th graders could see and benefit from it - thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am about to start high school with the first of my four kiddos, so I'm bookmarking this thread now! :)

Panic is in the air which means that it is time to bump Nan's Words of Wisdom!

 

LOL  You btdt high school moms must see this flurry of activity about the same time every year as a new batch of us hit the end of 8th grade with our oldest children and, facing the prospect of home schooling high school for the first time, scramble to sort out the options in an attempt to build our courage for the task.  I hope you see it and laugh softly to yourselves thinking, "I remember when I was afraid I might not be up to home schooling high school. How silly I was. It's a piece of cake!"  At least I like to imagine that's how I'll be seeing it when/if I ever make it to the other end of the high school journey.
