My daughter was homeschooled from age 13 on due to Lyme disease. Once she was better the school wanted us to repeat a year.

Instead we continued homeschool but added community college English, history and Spanish, plus a few fun things like Photography & Acting. She did excellent on the SAT and was offered a 50% scholarship at her first choice college in Manhattan. They required the GED before admission so she took & aced that as well. Her brother also took college courses senior year.

My daughter started college with her age cohort and with 36 transferable credits from community college, which saved us 6 months tuition at 4 year college prices, could have finished earlier but she took extra courses. I think it was great for her. High school years are the pits, kids are bored and there are a lots of drugs around. She was so much more prepared for college than the other freshman and much more independent.

Congratulations to you and your children.

It is so satisfying to have morally upright children who are contributing to their families and communities. It is one of life's greatest blessings.
