Remember when you started homeschooling your oldest in kindergarten? People would ask, "What will you do when you have to teach trigonometry?" No worries, that was years away.
Then high school arrives. But fear not—Mary Ellen and Ginny homeschooled through high school and produced great adults. Here’s how they did it and how you can, too.
8 Steps to High School Success
1. Set an alarm and get an early start in the morning, the same time every day.
2. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Your student needs a lesson plan.
3. Have a daily appointment with high school students to ensure they stay on track.
4. Figure out shortcuts or solutions to getting bogged down.
5. A Good High School rule of thumb is about an hour each school day for each course.
6. Train your kids in practical life skills. This rule is essential!
7. They must be a good example, especially for younger siblings if so blessed.
8. Dress modestly and speak nicely to others and about others. People will judge homeschoolers and Catholics by what your kids do.
