topekaclark Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have home school younger children in the past, infact I have been lead to home school ALL of my children. I have never home schooled high school age, I'm in the process of joining our local home school group. I know they hold classes on homeschooling high school, transcripts diplomas. My son has attend public school all of his life, he is ADD and very intelligent. In fact I have been blessed with two ADD children, :D. He is currently a junior and failing 5 classes. Now here's the kicker he is making a high B in English and passing history. This is his second time taking Algebra Review, they put him in Algebra 2 prior and he didn't understand the work. I had him in a different school district last year, where he passed Algebra 1. I found out this year he wrote the problems down and would write any answer down, teacher passed him anyway. I was looking for advice on a program from him, curriculum for him. I thought about enrolling him in a community college class since he likes writing. Since I am homeschooling all my children, I was thinking of unit studies too. Help please, any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 College courses in English and History may be a good idea while you tackle the rest. There are various high school courses/online schools out there. Have you looked through WTM for guidance? You might also want to check out SizzleBop It's a dotcom that has lots of good things to say about unique children! :^) You may find some encouragement there. I will also pray for you. Alas, that is all the advice I can give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topekaclark Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yes, I plan on ordering the book. I plan on looking around at used curriculum sales to see what is out there so I can have a plan of action. Thanks for the advice, I plan on using this short time he has left to boost his confidence, teach him self-management which he is good at expect when it comes to schooling. Also he hasn't been allowed to get his license yet, I am hoping that he sees how much freedom he can have with homeschooling and how he can take control of his studies. Hopefully in 6 months he will have a license and a part time job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
