Beginning homeschooling in high school
BevK October 8th, 2007
I can’t imagine the difficulties of starting out homeschooling a high school age student. But their numbers are increasing and they don’t need the same kind of support that the typical beginning homeschooler with young children needs.
“We are now seeing older students coming to home-schooling after eight, 10 years of being in the schools, out of desperation,” he said. “The families are like refugees, and they need a lot more hand-holding than the home-schooler that has been raised doing independent learning.”
Read more about a group in Maryland that has created a program specifically for those starting out with older students. Maryland requires a higher level of monitoring than most states, so this program sounds very useful for parents.
