Please do a video on making course descriptions when you aren’t just using traditional curriculum. When you use eclectic or non traditional ways to make the credit.

Pam, thank you so much for this! I don't know if you know that I'm homeschooling again - my new husband's 2 youngest. I searched "how to enforce schedule homeschooling high school", and your video (and face) was the FIRST to pop up. Just the encouragement I needed, thank you so much!

I love your point about not closing any doors. I "knew" what I wanted to do when I was in high school. Guess what? I'm not doing that now. I know others who are successful and nearing retirement who STILL say, "I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up" ; ) Make sure doors remain open for all sorts of eventualities.

Oh this is great 👍 Please keep talking about high school. We will be there in 1 year! Could you talk about a PLP personal learning plan? Thanks for considering. Love the curls BTW ❤

Thank you for this video. I have been frustrated with trying to break myself out of a public school mindset (where I was raised) and feeling confident to let our son learn in the ways that he enjoys most. The reassurance you've given here is a real help.

I love the idea of block scheduling! I’m going to implement that 😊

I love that first point, "My goal is not to close any doors"

I do this too! We do a credit for life skills or home ec with just the experience my children have living in a large family. We also do all our high school four sciences in a year. Since my kids do a foreign language lesson app each day for four years, I determined it was equal to 1-2 years of foreign language.

Would you mind sharing which app your child uses for foreign language?

We just completed 9th grade with the oldest. I was SO nervous going in. It turned out to be one of our absolute best years of homeschooling, and it was far less scary than I was making it out to be. This was a great video ❤

So happy to see these comments because I am a first time homeschooler of a 9th grader and have been freaking out about it lol

Thank you, Pam! We are headed into the 10th grade year with my son. I agree...just keep going with what works. I still do a lot of reading along with my son and it has enriched both of us. I think keeping a record of what we do on a given day has kept me on track this year, and will serve to help with writing the transcript.

It's funny, but my kids always ask to work their schedules opposite of the block schedule you described. They like frequent short lessons spread over the whole year in all the subjects. They told me it's because they hate waiting to learn something. 😂

What about a child who wants to be his own boss and own his own KZfaq channel through high school? What would that count towards?

@juliabriggs5379 11 ай бұрын

How do you grade? Do you determine the grade, if the class is not accredited?

@PamBarnhill 11 ай бұрын

Sometimes the course we are using determines the grade. For example to kids' math class has online quizzes/exams and a reporting system for homework and it determines the grade. For other courses I just grade the work myself. Since we are working to mastery it is rare they make less than an A -- I simply require them to do it over again. For some subjects when a kid wants to do less than what I require we do a "contract" and they know if they don't complete a portion of the class their grade can't be any higher than a B or a C. An example of this is last year when my son didn't want to do nature notebook pages for botany. I gave him the choice but he knew without that portion he couldn't score higher than a B. HTH
