candicane Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I suppose this is a bit...odd? I don't know! haha. Hello! My name is Candice, I'm 22 and I'm not exactly a homeschooler per se. I'm more attempting to fill in where my education lacked. I graduated high school in 2009 (let's not bring up the train wreck of college), but most of my school life I noticed there was things that I wasn't taughted, and things that weren't focused on where I was failing. Guess you've all heard that from/about your own kids, eh? lol Anywho, I found tons of great resources here that my mom and I are going to use to fix my, well, gap! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So you're self educating, that's commendable! You may want to check out SWB's book, "The Well-Educated Mind." Welcome to the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Welcome! I think many people can relate to feeling they have gaps. I know homeschooling my son and daughter was helpful in pointing out mine! It's pretty sad when a history book designed for ages 6-10 gives you a better grasp of history than you had before--and you went to uni to become an educator... But it's pretty awesome to have the chance AND the desire to fill in those gaps. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candicane Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks ladies! :D Is self-educating the term? Ha, okay! My momma is doing the teaching, but I do sorta teach myself. But yes, I want to fix my gaps since it seems my level of knowledge is nothing more than the 5th/6th grade level, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Candice, I just started a thread in the High School and Self-Education forum to see what all the autodidacts among us are working on. I've got my curriculum list up for myself, and will probably get back with a schedule later. If you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
