What If Homeschooling High School Isn’t Working?
One of the advantages of homeschooling is the freedom to make changes when things aren’t working. With high school, remember that if it works you use it. If it doesn’t work, then stop using it and try something else.
Another major theme: You don’t have to teach. They just need to learn. You don’t necessarily have to teach ANYTHING in high school, you only have to make sure your children learn it. I didn’t know the answers to a lot of the math or science. You’d think I would because I’m a nurse, but it’s not true! I completely lost it with math about a month into Algebra 2. Everyone loses it in high school math – everyone. But, again, it’s not our job to learn the stuff. We just have to make sure our student learns the stuff.

Balancing Work and Education – Online Degree Programs for Adults
The Internet offers many online degree options for adults, making it one of the fastest growing opportunities for nontraditional students seeking to further their education. In an increasingly competitive job market, many adults are seriously considering going back to school, but lack the time required to attend college full-time as a traditional student. The pressures of family, a full-time job, and rising costs of education are all factors that make online degree options appealing for adults.
In addition, having a degree is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Many companies require that an employee have at least an Associates degree in order to move up to a salaried position, and a Bachelor’s degree requirement is basically standard across the board for management positions. Most of the top-paying jobs in the corporate world are held by those with MBAs, making graduate studies a must for anyone interested in reaching for the top in their career goals. Online degree programs are an easy way to achieve these positions in less time and with less money, making them an attractive alternative to attending a local university.
