Have you ever wondered what high school is like for a homeschooler? Well, today, we’re going to bring you along with Drew, my 10th grader. This isn’t exactly a typical day for him, but days like this are what homeschooling is all about……FLEXIBILITY!
If you’re new to my channel, I’m Rachel, homeschool Mom of 3. We’ve been homeschooling since my high schooler was in 3rd grade! He told me every year since he was in kindergarten that he WANTED to be homeschooled, and he’s never wavered from it! This homeschooler enjoys his freedom & his flexibility & also, you’ll see….he enjoys his family! :)
Come along with us and also get a first hand look inside several of his high school curriculums such as Dave Ramsey's Finance course for high school and also several Compass Classroom high school courses!

Thank you!!! Yep! We picked him up on his last day of kindergarten and his teacher said, “so you’re homeschooling next year?” I answered with a giggle, “no…what gave you that impression?” I was actually pregnant with my 3rd at the time. She said, “well Drew said he’s not coming back next year. You’re homeschooling him!” I literally was beaming and smiling at the thought that he wanted to be at home with me. And I did toss the idea to my husband bc at that time, I was open to the idea. 3rd child was due that summer anyway….and I did NOT want to go back to work. But hubs said no. My homeschool story, how we got here has several twists and turns. If you’re interested, I made a video on it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL-Ye9yisZzadXU.html

@@OurHOMEschoolPlan That’s so funny! I’ve watched that video. I don’t remember that part though. 😂. Our story was opposite. I was a Kinder teacher and as my daughter got closer to starting Kindergarten my husband was trying to convince me to stay home and homeschool her. It took me her whole Pre-K year to come to terms with it, but I quit the Summer before she started Kindergarten. So glad I did! ❤️

@@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable awe!! I can see how that would be a hard decision. She was about ready to enter “YOUR” world! 💕 kindergarten is so fun. I’ve often wondered if I ever got the opportunity to teach (bc our former Christian school only requires a 4 year degree, not necessarily a teaching degree to teach there) what grade would be the most fun?? I can’t decide. I think almost certainly that I might avoid middle school. Lol! But any elementary age or high school I think would be wonderful. There’s so many beautiful things about each. (There’s beauty in middle school also, I’m just not sure I could take the attitude and drama all day 😂. I actually did coach 7th/8th grade girls basketball right after I graduated from college. And it was super fun. But I was 23 years old then!!! I was still cool in their eyes! 😂

So the shormann math has a lecture that's 30+ minutes and then there's homework? So would you say he takes about 1 hour to usually complete the math lesson? He is super busy and has a lot of work! What is he thinking about with college and such?

My son said the lectures are about 30 minutes. And the homework takes 30-60 minutes depending. Homework time probably depends some on how quickly you grasp the concepts.

Do you have any recommendations of an accredited program, for a 9th grader, that uses text books due to the fact that he wont always have wifi?

@OurHOMEschoolPlan 7 ай бұрын

I honestly don’t know what’s accredited and what’s not. I don’t know of any college that asks that (I have many nieces and nephews who are graduated homeschoolers) so I’m not sure what the thing is with accredited. But Bob Jones is a homeschool program that’s been around forever. It has textbooks and also video teachers. Compass Classroom (which I have linked below) has video, but its app is available on phones as well. You can get physical textbooks (or print them) but the reading is also available online. All those options just make it very flexible. If you just want to choose something that has it all, I’d look into Bob Jones. There’s less decisions to be made there. Other curriculum like Compass Classroom, you would pick and choose each subject and topics. Masterbooks would also be a good choice! I don’t think m they have video. It’s all textbook. But you’d have to order each subject individually. Hope that helps!

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Жыл бұрын

Thank you !! I’m having trouble with the same thing! My middle schooler is a challenge for me in this area also. But I will say this…. Durenda Wilson, a prominent speaker on the homeschool circuit, author of the 4 hour school day, says that until high school, kids don’t need much more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. (And that and Bible study is what we do daily) So while, I do think it’s good to push the kids to challenge themselves to do more, if they are resistant or struggling, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. To me, I’d rather have them enjoy learning and engaging in family learning, then be resentful of the whole experience.

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Жыл бұрын

How to start homeschooling?? With a child that young, you don’t have to worry about much. HSLDA will have your states laws. You might have to inform somebody that you aren’t sending your child to kindergarten. (You may not….we didn’t have to tell anyone). And then you can choose a kindergarten curriculum if you want. Or you could just choose a math, reading & writing curriculum and spend the rest of the time exploring and playing. I have a video about my regrets where I go through some very good tips and things I’d do differently if I were to start over. I have some good advice for you in there too, specifically about the younger years. 😉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aa-IZbZ8m5q4dpc.html
