Homeschooling High School
April 23, 2013 @ 6:32 am | Filed under: Assorted and Sundry
In case you’ve missed the discussion in yesterday’s comments: I’m reviving my old learning-notes blog and taking it to invitation-only so we can chat about homeschooling/unschooling teens (among other topics) in a more private setting. If you’d like an invitation, drop me a line or leave your email addy in the comments. 🙂

Yes, please : ) . I find myself quite suddenly with a tenth grader, and we’ve already been to the open house at the college in town. Thanks!

I would love to join this conversation. I know our time is short and I feel like I’m overwhelming my 15yo with all the things I want to share with her. My public school education is showing and I’d rather avoid that in these last precious years.

We would love an invitation. We are just beginning the teen years now, with 14 and 13 year old daughters who have been mostly unschooled all their lives. annedye at gmail.com

I have been reading (yes, yes – lurking) for a very long time. Probably about 5 years. Maybe more. Thanks to your inspiration, we have completed our 4th year of Journey North. Thanks to all your discussions on writing, my brain started whirring, and my son has been blogging about cars for two years (http://unmuffled.wordpress.com/).
We have always homeschooled, but my son really wanted to try high school this year. So, off he went. My daughter is still at home with plans to start high school homeschooling this September. I would love to be part of the discussion group. Thanks for all the wonderful posts over the years. Reading your posts is always a highlight.

I would love an invitation. High school doesn’t feel nearly as far away as I’m comfortable with!

I’m interested as well! My kids are still very young, but we are definitely planning to homeschool the whole way through.

I would love an invitation. My son is going in to 9th grade (or would be if we hadn’t taken him out of school a few years ago) and I’m thinking lots about how unschooling with high school-aged kids will work.

I’d love to hear more about what your “tidal” homeschooling methods look like during the high school years and how you navigated the college entrance process. Thanks so much for offering to share! mgoldruth at yahoo.com

Oh please send me an invite! I don’t think I’ve commented on here before buy I would be lost without your recommendations on books over the years. My oldest starts 8th grade in the fall and for the first time ever, I am truly terrified on what lies ahead educationally over the next 5 years!
Blessings!

I have been a long-time lurker to your blog, and homeschool (with “tidal” unschool-ish tendencies) my rising science-and-art -focused daughter and son. Thanks for considering sending an invite.

Yes, please! I’m not strictly concerned about homeschooling elementary or middle grades, but I do feel like I’m shooting in the dark not having a good concept of homeschooling in high school. Without HS, the lower levels feel a little directionless.

I would love to hear about your approach to high school (we’re getting close). I’ve learned so much from you over the years, especially how to ride the tides in all aspects of our lives!

I’d love to be included, too. 🙂 My oldest will turn 17 in the fall, and I have to confess that the last two years of homeschooling scare me!

Rebecca Saff says:
My husband and I have been reading for quite some time and we’re about to switch from me being the primary homeschooler to him. Our oldest is middle school and so we’re quickly moving toward the high school years. David really limes the idea of tidal learning so we’ll see how things change next year. I’m sure he’ll want to join too.

KaeleyAnne says:
Oh my! I’d love to lurk on that blog too! But my oldest (only, right now) is just 20 months old, so I don’t think I’d be able to contribute much to the discussion.
I’m trying (and slowly succeeding) to get my husband to consider homeschooling when we get to that point. His most recent concern has been related to high school, college prep, and college admittance and whether or not we would have the capability of teaching a high school student. My thoughts are that we could wait until the little one is a bit older to worry about that aspect of home schooling. And, we (are going to) have PhDs in Environmental Engineering and Political Science, so I think that, between the two of us, we can manage high school.
Anyhow, since homeschooling high school is not talked about in detail very often online, I’d love the opportunity to see what homeschooled high school is like for when we get there in 12 or so years.

High school seems like a long way off, but it probably isn’t. And at this point I feel like we might not homeschool through high school. Maybe if I follow along here, I will feel like it is possible. I’d love an invitation, thank you.

First time to your site today. We begin our second year of high school next year (’13-’14). Did SOS this year and, while he liked it, I found it too “hands off” to me. Does that make sense? Looking for insight and info. Would appreciate anything you have to share!
