Sometimes reading a “case study” about a homeschool facing a challenge similar to yours can be really empowering. Over the years we have created several of these types of posts to help homeschoolers
– be encouraged (It’s not just you!)
– be equipped (There are lots of ways to tackle the challenge!)
– be successful (We’ve seen so many folks find an answer!)
Homeschool High School Examples
There are lots of ways to plot the plan for high school homeschool (this list from our local homeschool diploma program is a helpful reference), but when a chart seems too cold and impersonal, a real-life story can help.
Here are some of Vicki’s best “case study” posts about high school homeschool challenges. All of these posts were inspired by REAL-LIFE encounters with people in our local homeschooling community or in our own families. (The identifying details have been changed to keep us from getting yelled at too much by our kids…)
Do you see your homeschool in one of these scenarios?
Do you have suggestions for ways to overcome the challenge?
