Not-Back-to-School Homeschool Supplies

August 28, 2016 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Every year as summer winds down, inspiration strikes me when I’m shopping at my favorite store. You know, the one with the hypnotizing bull’s-eye and all that inviting redness? When the water guns disappear and are replaced by colorful displays of glue, markers, and folders, I want to pull a school list from the end […]

You CAN’T Homeschool High School

June 26, 2018 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Many homeschool parents are intimidated by the idea of homeschooling through high school. They feel all of the fears listed above, and more. Oftentimes, well-meaning leaders in the homeschooling community add to these fears by making certain 'high school' tasks seem more complicated than they need to be--transcripts, for example. But here's the thing: You CAN homeschool all-the-way-through high school. In fact, your teen needs you now more than ever, but not in the ways you expect.

Homeschool Myths Busted You CAN’T Homeschool High School It’s just too hard. I can’t teach high school subjects–I barely even passed Algebra myself. Creating a transcript is impossible! I will fail my child, and he won’t get into college. She won’t get to go to prom if she homeschools through high school. He will miss out on […]

Homeschooling Algebra: A Different Perspective

June 11, 2018 by Anne Campbell Leave a Comment

Tears . . . That is the first word that comes to my mind when I think of the word algebra. My past experience with algebra wasn’t great. I struggled to understand the concepts, spent hours studying, and got help with my homework from friends and family. I just didn’t get it. When we decided to […]

Easy High School Record Keeping

January 2, 2018 by Anne Campbell 3 Comments

Easy high school record keeping: creating a system for homeschool organization.

Record keeping! (I’m not talking about that cute little sparkly box filled with your vinyl 45s.) It kind of brings on a deer-in-the-headlights look when some of us are faced with keeping records for our high school students. I remember saying that we would take homeschooling one year at a time when we first started […]

Planning for Homeschooling High School

December 6, 2017 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

Are you facing the high school years in your homeschool? Many homeschooling parents report that the idea of continuing through high school is daunting to them. And many families make the decision to send their teens to traditional school once eighth or ninth grade rolls around. When my family began homeschooling about fifteen years ago, our motto was, "one day at a time, one year at a time." At the start of kindergarten with our son, we had no idea where this homeschooling journey would take us.

Are you homeschooling high school? As part of the Back to Homeschool Blog Party hosted by Amy of Encouraging Moms at Home, I am sharing my plan for facing the high school years in your homeschool. This year, I have a college sophomore, along with a high school junior, and a middle schooler, and we […]

5 Ways to Motivate Middle School Writers

April 4, 2017 by Anne Campbell 4 Comments

Ah, middle school! A time of hormone surges and living in a sort of limbo stage between childhood and adulthood. As a parent, I do sometimes feel like we’re living in the Matrix when it’s time to sit down and focus on “schoolwork.” And English gets a bad rap anyway as a “boring” required class. […]
