There are free online high school courses that are accredited and frankly I wish I had known about this as a teen.
I suppose that Michael Mulgrew TEACHERS UNION PRESIDENT was the main speaker at the Obama 'Stop Bulling' conference.
You know what I like best about my homeschooled adult teen? I feel that he is the best HIM he could be. Nothing from a bad social school experience thwarted him. He wasn’t buffetted and shaped by bad teachers and ignorant kids (like I was). He got ideas and ran with them. He is outwardly a bit shy, but inside he has an inner confidence and does things the good way, but HIS way. He is very comfortable within his skin. And his childhood peers were his teammates. They practiced together every day. Some of them are among his groups of friends to this day. I have no regrets homeschooling him.
Also - when he got sick of high school, he moved to community college. Boom. In CA it is legal even without a “high school graduation,” which has become worthless anyway.
