My fat headed governor Pritzker has issued a last minute mask mandate for all schools in my state. I plan on attending the school board meeting that finalizes the decision, but I already know it will be to no avail. As much as the locals don't like masks, the small community is afraid to cause controversy and I will seem to be among a minority in attendance that decided to show up. Plus, the schools are being threatened with the withdrawal of state funds, so they will definitely bow.
Our 16 year old has trouble with focusing and motivation, also behavioral issues, so homeschooling will be a task in multiple ways. But I can't bear to let them win by masking her when she's been free to breathe at work, church and other public places. Other than finding a doctor to write her a mask exemption, we are exploring homeschooling as I can possibly help her in her studies as I have an education degree (never certified) and stay at home taking care of her toddler brother.
So, I'm polling this wonderful community for best online homeschooling curriculums that would fit a teen, one who is particularly not self-motivated or school oriented.
I'd greatly appreciate any input, thank you.
Hello!
There is a nationwide homeschool online program called K - 12 education. It was developed with advice from William Bennett. I think you are in Illinois (?) you can look at state-certified programs (free) as well. Online curriculum for high school can be repetitive, boring, etc...so plan to add fun activities for your teen. You may want to google "homeschool in Illinois" . I did and found many websites to look over: http://discoveryk12.com/dk12/homeschooling-in-illinois/ is one example. Also, ask at church, more and more churches are stepping up to support homeschool families!!
Good Luck finding the right fit.
