I put together a resource list as a hand-out and thought I'd share it here. I'd love to have more links if anyone has favorite high-school sites.

Have some more resources? Leave me a comment and I'll add them!
if I lived in TN ... but I don't and that's ok.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I don't have a high schooler quite yet, but it's good to see what's out there.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I came to the Roundtable petrified and left even more petrified (and with a headache, to boot). So much to think about.
ReplyDeleteLLL
Thanks for the resources. I know I have a ways to go before I have high schoolers, but I want to be prepared! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! My son is entering 7th grade next year, so my brain is already working towards preparing for high school and beyond over the course of the next year or so. I appreciate this info.
ReplyDeleteOne other link I'd add is to Jeannie Fulbright's website. She has a brief, but insightful perspective to offer, especially with regards to Dual Enrollment. http://www.jeanniefulbright.citymax.com/highschool.html
Great list. Thanks for sharing. Tackling all that information leaves me feeling so overwhelmed! It isn't hard to figure out, but it does take some time and patience, both of which are always a shortage for homeschool moms!
ReplyDeleteHope you weekend in Ashville was restful and fulfilling. Sometimes a little time away with girlfriends is a healing balm!
This is great! I have been going back and forth between the highschool system for Alex and just keeping him home for another two years and putting him in headstart. I am adding this list to my favorites so when I have some time to really go over it, I can. :)
