From philosophy of learning to record keeping, the author covers everything that needs to be a part of high school at home, using a conversational style and a great sense of humor. In fact, this is more than just a book about high school, it is a manual full of ideas and tools. The manual is full of "stuff" to read, "stuff" to use, and "stuff" that will set you free to homeschool all the way through those intimidating high school years. The "how-to" of doing senior high on your own receives much attention here, plus step-by-step instructions for how to help your student set up his own Senior High Notebook, formulate his own Master Framework Plan, document hours for credits, and or to spring from implementing your own ideas. The sections include: Reinforcement for the Fainthearted, Requirements for Graduation and Promotion, Record-Keeping System, Potpourri of Curriculum Supplements, Grading guidelines and Portfolios, Personalizing All This Stuff, Lifestyle of Learning Applications, and Resource Section. Answers such questions as: "What about college?", "Will I have a valid diploma?" This has been "homeschool parent tested" and let`s finish with a quote from a satisfied customer: "This book was so filled with Jesus, it just uplifted me to read even short sections. I didn`t want to put it down--honest! Many parts set me free and I must have laughed at least a hundred times." -- Anita Treichel. 350 pg. manual--newly revised, pb.
