Ack! I’ve got a high schooler! Although I used to be a high school teacher, I was STILL a little nervous about homeschooling high school. I think the most terrifying part for me is the process of selecting the right courses and compiling transcripts.
I received this product free of charge for review purposes and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed in this post are my own and I was not required to post a positive review of the product.
As homeschool parents, we also take on the role of guidance counselor! It is our responsibility to make sure that our kids take all the classes they need to graduate. And, if your child is college bound, the pressure to get coursework and transcripts just right is even greater!
Homeschooling High School {my fears}
Y’all, can I keep it real? I have secretly been flat out scared to homeschool high school! I don’t want to mess it up! I don’t want my kids to not have the coursework that they need! I don’t want them to not get into college because I didn’t have the right classes on their transcripts…and, the list goes on!
But, then I read this:
Homeschool parents need to be aware of ways to power-up the homeschool transcript. Their homeschool high schooler’s courses need to be college-attractive while broadening their life experiences and developing their skills and interests.
One of the best ways to create a powerful homeschool transcript is to avoid generic courses where possible. Instead, have your high schooler take courses that will add *sparkle* or *pop* (as college advisors often call those). ~ from 7SistersHomeschool.com
