It's next to impossible to be underprepared for homeschooling, since you can always find/buy more stuff. One trip to the library or the museum or even the grocery store or the Internet can provide days or weeks of homeschooling material. But it is VERY easy to be overprepared!


    Hi,Kriston! This is good advice, lol. HS'ing has been very expensive for us b/c I keep researching and reading and trying more and more and/or different. I need to chill! Actually, I just need to make a decision, lol!

    Shopping for materials and curricula can be addictive! Nobody told me that when I started out.

    It sounds like DD has struggled quite nicely and found a solution that works for her! Good Job!

    So sad to hear that the schools idea of accomidation in Math is to send home work. ((gurrr)) But the special projects do sound interesting. And the fact that DD8 is joining in with younger DD's homeschooling in the evening doesn't sound like underachievement to me. Sounds like your family has faced some challenges and is handling them well.
