Hello i havent joined the guild yet.. but im joined on another account anyways.

If you dont know or havent discovered it yet; I'd like to introduce Online Homeschooling. This is my second year doing it and it's very fast and easy i tell you it is! It's like reg school you are assigned with Teachers with other students and there's two segments. Im serious it's way more easy and you can get a whole grade done in 4-5 months of doing it.

flvs.net is where i do it; but you'll have to click to "Not in Florida?" Or somthing like that.

I Highly reccommend you all sign up; it's a bit mroe advanced to.. like in reg school i was suppost to leanr pre-algerba until 7th and instead learned it in 6th.

Im Currently Two grades behind and it's helping me get caught up faster. So yeah just though i'd share.

My kids wouldn't have like it as they wanted me to teach them. That whole outside the home teacher thing would have turned them off.
My youngest brother was homeschooled through a mailing school program. He had an outside teacher that he could contact by phone. He graded my brothers papers and handled his education. But the rest of the family is where he learned more because it was more one on one and in person.
I used my own curriculum with my kids and they loved it. It got through all the "boring parts" as my kids dubbed them, and into the needed parts.
The online thing sounds great for some, depending on what one needs and wants from their education.

I'm also one/two grades behind!
(It's a loong story - but let me tell you, I'm to blame for.)
I take hoomeschholing for every course except french, because I felt that I needed the oral part learned in a place where I can understand and use it better.
I take that course in my local highschool.
I recently just signed up for online math - and it's giving me a pain; firstly, my modem doesn't always work, so doesn't my pinter, and I haven' ever done this before!

I was a typical public school attendee and took FLVS courses to supplement my schooling as I wished to take more courses than were offered in the school day. I found FLVS to be of poor quality in educating. It is easy to circumvent the anti-cheating methods, the information provided is not always correct, the tests provided are often worded poorly, etc. I wouldn't recommend it for one's entire education.

FLVS, to the best of my knowledge, is free for everyone which was awesome. It certainly was for me but that might be because of my status as a public highschool student.

FLVS offers AP courses. Not all of them, but a good number. As such, it is a method that homeschoolers may look into for getting college credit.
