Super Senior or Delayed Graduation: The 5 Year Plan

High School Transcripts graduation

When deciding whether or not you'll have your student do a 5th year of high school, or a Super Senior year, you'll need to weigh the desires and maturity of your student against their age and abilities. It's normal for a child to graduate high school between the ages of 17 and 20. For many parents, that means that you can provide a 5th year of high school and still graduate your child on time. Although graduating...

Why I Do Not Recommend Weighting Grades

College Prep High School Grades & Credits Homeschool Records

I don't recommend weighting grades. It makes it harder for colleges, and colleges tend to like you more if you make their job easier. Here is the problem, every high school has a different policy on weighting grades. For an "Honors" or AP class, some high schools will add 1.0 to the grade - so the highest grade possible is a 5.0 instead of a 4.0. Some high schools will increase the grade by 0.5, so honors...

Teaching Occupational Education in 5 Easy Steps

HS Electives

I'm convinced it's the easiest class to cover in your homeschool. Here are five easy steps:1. Wait until your child becomes motivated by money2. Your child will seek (or be forced to seek) a job3. Count hours on the job4. When your child accumulates 150 hours, call it a credit5. Retroactively write a course descriptionAll done! Piece of cake.What did you...
