crazyfordlr Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 There was a thread awhile back about this. Does anyone have that marked? If not, any tips? My olde dd is only in 6th right now, but I'm starting to plan for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 SWB has a great lecture you can purchase through PHP about preparing for high school. I found it very helpful and made a few changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This thread is my all time favorite for those preparing for high school. Look for other threads by Nan in Mass and Janice in NJ for great wisdom, then throw in some Lori D. posts for practical advice and you're all set!

Clear Creek Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 There is a thread on the HS board right now that has an extremely helpful post by lewelma (post #82) on why and how to teach your student to learn from a textbook. Some of the other posts are helpful as well, but this one is a jewel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I believe there are really two parts to answer your question: 1. Things to do in middle school (i.e., NOW), in order to prepare for high school. 2. Research (i.e. looking ahead), in order to have make a high school plan, know what you need for high school, etc. So, links to past threads for both: 1. High school parents: looking back, what would your ideal be for 7th/8th grade? (in order to prepare for high school) To all you people with 8th graders or thereabouts -- (things to do in middle school to prepare for high school) If you knew then what you know now (what do you wish you had done in the logic stage) Looking back (what would you have done differently to prepare your student for high school level work) 2. Where to start? Which resources, etc.? (planning for high school) My son is starting high school (linked resources, tips, and gentle steps from posters on getting started) High school curriculum -- where do I start (how to decide what credits to do, and then how to select curriculum) Homeschooling high school... where to begin? (links to lots of threads on specific topics: getting started, curriculum, credits, transcripts, etc.) BEST of luck in your middle school planning, and high school research! Warmest regards, Lori D.

Lori D. Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thank you... for the linkage. Hope one of those was the thread you were asking for in your original query! :) BEST of luck in planning, and warmest regards, Lori D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
