As I ponder the idea of homeschooling (while sweating bullets, panicking,freaking out, etc), I have to believe there is a really great book to help a parent begin the homeschool journey.
Things I would like:
Amount of work a middle schooler might be expected to do (ie - how long of an essay should be done).
A book targeting HG+ kids??
General organizational tips.
How to handle resistance.
How to figure out level per subject (I know that some math sites contain tests to figure this out but how about LA? Science?).
Finally - I am sure I don't even know the questions to ask because I have never done this before.
Last question - not book related. DD11 is very reluctant about homeschool because of the fear factor yet her psych assessments are indicating depression and anxiety (plus she stated last year that school was pretty awful) so I think HS could be a good fit. How did some of you sway your child to the HS side? BTW, the psych suggested a few weeks of a "trial run" so DD could experience a bit of HS. We are also meeting with a bunch of HS families.
