According
to the handful of readers who took my mini end-of-year survey, most of
you want more information about homeschooling high school. That will be
my focus this year, but I won’t forget the readers who want more tips
on developing responsible teenagers, or those who like my recipes and
travel tips.
SURVEY RESULTS
85% - Homeschool High School
71% - Preparing for college
42% - Writing
28% - College
28% - Travel with a large family
28% - Other (chores and self-sufficiency)
14% - Teaching reading
14% - Cooking
I
am a homeschooling mom of seven children. I have graduated five of
those children and they all were accepted to and attended college, many
with generous scholarships. Two of the five were National Merit
Finalists, two were National Merit Commended Scholars. I don’t credit
their achievements to any superior teaching skills, but I am now very
familiar with the process.
In
my 20+ years of homeschooling, I have made mistakes. Often mistakes
make the best teachers and hopefully you can learn from mine and not
repeat them.
I
have two high school students at home, so I am right there with you in
the trenches of homeschooling high school and navigating higher
education.

I do recommend you, all the time. My husband has also started reading your valuable posts, such great advice you give and I SEE the proof of your wisdom since I actually know you and have seen the results in your great kids! I'm so glad your doing this, since I will be homeschooling 2 high school kiddos next year -*squeal* you read that right!!!
You need a twitter account, and to start tweeting your posts as well. I just tweeted this one *smile*
Kathy, you would have to teach me about Twitter. lol I am a bit technically challenged. Let's get together one day soon.
I'll be watching for your homeschooling info! We're doing pre-k/K right now, but I'm sure some concepts will apply across the board.
Both of my kids are in the midst of their high school years (one sophomore, one junior). I only found your blog about a month ago but have already gleaned great info. Looking forward to more!
