Hi Jennifer,
Just finished reading your book; what a great resource for homeschool families. Even though I am familiar with the process, having earned an AS from Charter Oak over 20 years ago and more recently finished a BA there, I learned many new tricks. Thank you! My daughter is currently a sophomore in high school and we are hoping she can graduate with an AS in business before sending her off to culinary school. I am curious on how I can generalize some of your principles in the book to a co-op group or if that is even possible? I have talked to several moms in my group suggesting we offer a track for advanced juniors and seniors where they can work as a group and study for a test each month with the hopes of accumulating 30 or so general education exams that can transfer. Everyone says it sounds like a good idea but I am not so sure how it would work out practically. I am finishing teaching a Psychology course and will be giving the class a practice CLEP exam next week. I have learned that just because the parents think it is a good idea, many of the kids are not onboard. Maybe it is more effective to have each teacher tack on a few weeks of CLEP prep to go along with the course they are teaching instead of trying to immerse a student in one subject at a time before moving on to the next? While I love that style of learning I donât know how effective it is for teenagers. Any thoughts?
So, how far along in the process are your kids?
I hope Rainbow Resource will carry your book, and then you can make the rounds at all the home-school conventions!
Thanks again for putting this resource together,
Gen
P.S. the advantage of reading before you go to bed is that I did not notice any errors except the weird formatting that goes along with many of the kindle books.
