I’ve homeschooled my son straight through he’s in 11th grade now. We went through spurts.
K-2 we used time4learning, explode the code, and singapore math
3-4 Singapore math, daily grams, magic tree house, noeo science
5-6 Life of fred, free reading, time4learning, netflix, Noeo science
7-10 Hell: Florida virtual school (If I could go back I’d never do that again.)
2nd 10- 2nd 12 Dual enrollment at local college
He currently has a 1240 SAT which qualifies him for massive tuition deduction and he needs 1290 for the state to give him free tuition and books.
My son has MI concerns too. Our community co-op has been great. We don’t tell anyone any of us has mental illness. One of the reasons my son is doing dual enrollment is just incase he doesn’t move on after highschool to college. One time I dropped my medication in a co-op my son was young he screamed out ”Mom, you dropped your head boo-boo medication” It was silent. Unti one of the mom’s goes “hey we all take medication”. Then the day went by like nothing. Do you have a co-op near you? I use to have to travel an hour for a good one. Then I moved and we have 3+ in a 30 min radius, We’re secular so most co-ops we can’t go to. If you notice it was a lot of hands off from me so we could keep the same schedule no matter my own mood. If I had lots of money I would have done Moving Beyond the pages.
I’m willing to just chat. I don’t think many of us come out of hiding. I’m part of a chronic illness facebook page as well as a couple other facebook groups. He's also had a therapist from 8+ to process anything going on.
