High school

[zakity]

Well, we figured out what we are doing for high school. We are going to have Beak do American School. It is a correspondence high school. I am not totally thrilled but having an actual diploma will help him out later on in life (like with financial aid and stuff). And, he wants to try to speed through it in two years.

[Dixie Momma]

Cool. I hope it works out well for him. :yep

[FartKnocker]

:word He'll be done with school in two years :thud


Have you all discussed college?

[zakity]

Actually, we are looking into financial aid and what he needs to take to get into college. We are planning on having him take a practice SAT soon to see what we need to work on. I know we are going to have holes in his education because of how we educated the guys.

i just read on one of the homeschooling spots i go to that you can actually get scholarships for being homeschooled for college :shrug

[Iggy]

Sounds like a good plan :yep

[twinbears]

:woot

[TheBudsMom]

That sounds like a cool plan! I hope it all works out for you guys!

[zakity]

I bought a 2-year planner! Now, just to sign him up!!

Our colleges require the ACT instead of the SAT. I figure they are about the same. I can't believe you may have a child finishing high school in 2 years :thud

[zakity]

Yeah, but what is worse... I might have a college student in two years. :twitch

[Jeb-O]

[Double Blessings]

scary!
do you have any beginning home school books you'd like to pass on?

[Iggy]

The ACT is quite a bit different from the SAT, actually :para I took both of them. The ACT is broader in scope - it tests on science too in the basic exam, and there are a bunch of extra subject tests you can also take too. The SAT is just verbal and math. I thought the ACT math was harder than the SAT.

Of course, I took those tests circa 1995 :para They may have changed. It wouldn't hurt your boys to do both tests though.

[Double Blessings]

i had them both too Iggy, but a few years before you did! i don't remember crap about either one :crack

[zakity]

Well, we unschooled for years. I don't know what we have around here. We didn't use books until a few years ago. And, most of those are really eclectic.

[Double Blessings]

if you find anything that you'd be willing to part with, let me know. i may be interested :crack

[zakity]

I am sure I have tons of stuff around here. I know I have stuff in the garage that we never ever used.
