Oklahoma Homeschooling

I expended the original 5 and a half years of my education in public schools. There were, of course, times when I enjoyed learning things and talking to my friends. On the flip side, though, there were long stretchings of monotony and boredom. And that was just grade school! I can’t even imagine what it would have gotten like in middle and high school. I vaguely do not forget a class I took in 6th grade before I begun to be homeschooled. “Conflict resolution” they called it. It was an...

How does homeschooling work, Junior in Highschool? - Family and ...

As the title says i am a junior in high school, currently considering the option of homeschooling. Please note this is not some sort of ploy to get out of work or avoid social activity by any means, in fact i'm considering this option to further my education, however, I am not exactly sure how this whole homeschooling scenario works. For instance what happens to the whole GPA situation? Is this still recorded? If so how? I am not sure if you are required to take a preset online home school plan...

Missouri Unschoolers - Radical Unschoolers Network

Hi everyone!

I just thought I would introduce myself. I am Alethea. I have 3 travel guides in this life, DD 11, DS 7, DD15 mo. We live in NW Missouri. I am new to the network.

I know that my kiddos are a lot happier...

K12 Homeschool Review from Florida

Curriculum By Subject:

Visitor K12 Review: K12 Math is easy to follow and right on task with the public school. Language and Literature are also on grade level with the public schools. But Science and History are a problem. For 3rd grade Science they are expected to learn what the hygrometer, anemometer, barometer, and Beufort Wind Scale are and what they measure. They aren't just required to recognize the four types of precipitation but memorize how each is formed. The History expects them to...
