RubyPenn Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Please help! I need a dynamic government and economics course for a child who wants to be done with school NOW, but has another year to go. I don't want a live course, but video is fine. He is finally open to going to college so I don't want to burn him out next year. He will only have one challenging course and I'd like to keep it that way. This is the last thing I need to figure out for him. Edited May 28, 2022 by RubyPenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Maybe this will help with government options? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 https://www.econ4life.com/ Our teens found this economics course highly relatable, sparking a lot of really interesting discussions (especially when posed to a very diverse audience), and not "bookishly" difficult (aka no busy work, streamlined). It does assume Christian values, so that may or may not be a factor for you (nothing weird or fringe-ish, though). John Stossel stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Also, you might check out PAGE 5 of the big thread "High School Motherlode #2" pinned at the top of the high school board -- it lists links to past threads on a number of the subject areas. Here are a few listed for Gov't and Econ that might get you started in your research:Secular and quick/easy: US Government? Same for Economics?Government and Economics - not rigorousWhich high school government course do you recommend (why? pros/cons?)Looking for ideas for documentaries and movies for government class Introductory Economics text for high school? (for a student NOT interested in economics) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian values are good for us and I've always liked John Stossel. I'll take a look. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
