NCAA Prefers Independent Homeschoolers

HS PE/Health

If your child loves sports, and would like to continue in college, it's a good idea to do a little research on the NCAA. The rules change over time, and you have to follow the rules, even if they change. For example, the NCAA recently gave a statement that it will no longer accept coursework from 24 different virtual schools that are affiliated with k12 Inc. Apparently there were concerns about a large dropout rate, some...

How to Put PE on a Homeschool Transcript

HS PE/Health

Most PE classes will include a variety of experiences, sports, skills, and perhaps nutrition or health as well. When you are listing your PE on your homeschool transcript, chances are it will be a combination of different things. Think of it this way, you might have a unit of swimming lessons that was 50 hours, a unity of circuit training that lasted 50 hours, and a unit on health that lasted 50 hours. Even if you...

Delight Directed Learning - Transcript or Activity List?

HS PE/Health Keeping Records

Delight-directed learning crosses many boundaries. It can be a class, community service, and an activity. It's fun for the child, but it may be frustrating for the parent. It can also be difficult to quantify. It is a challenge to decide how to include it in your high school records. I have a daughter that has been in Martial Arts since she's been 11. The last few years she's been helping teach the younger class, but...

Homeschool High School: Teaching Health

Middle School HS PE/Health

Homeschool health requirements vary by state. Check your state homeschool law, and see what your state may require for health. Unless your state requires it, you don’t have to teach Health every year of high school. Some states want Health to be a requirement for graduation, but colleges generally don’t care about it much. Some colleges want to see students who take health as a separate course, while others assume it is included in Physical Education...

Putting Boy Scouts on a Transcript

Grades & Credits HS PE/Health

When thinking about putting boy scouts on your transcript, it helps to think about the millions of hours you spend doing those activities. If you consider that PE only requires roughly 150 hours of his boy scouts experience, and the usual boy scout may spend over 300 hours..... you have PLENTY of hours to call some of them PE and other hours extra curricular without double dipping. But look at it from another perspective. I took...

If your child is working toward an Eagle Scout, it can almost guarantee success. Every single thing you do in scouting is educational and can be put on the transcript somewhere. Usually I see the hours spent with Boy Scouts recorded as PE. All of the camping and hiking...
