I have actually herd it argued it is a disadvantage due to the unfortunate stigma that accompanies a HSE. It is better, in my opinion, to issue a homeschool transcript/Diploma. Colleges use much more than just a transcript for admission. We will also have several outside validations that corroborate what my transcript records.<br /><br />Examples of Outside Validation:<br /><br />Dual enrollment credits through out local community college<br />AP tests<br />National tests like SAT/ACT Robyn https://www.blogger.com/profile/06524839070322558069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136354382922279761.post-39005020680903488742023-07-21T04:56:27.552-07:002023-07-21T04:56:27.552-07:00Apparently most universities and colleges in the U...Apparently most universities and colleges in the US accept a home-school transcript and diploma for entrance, and therefore one is not required to receive a HSE (High School Equivalency) from the State of Indiana.

Things got much easier when I began using Homeschool Planet to make daily plans for each of them. I pay $7.95 a month for this online scheduling program but the yearly price is cheaper. You can use their store to purchase daily plans from your math company, science company, grammar company, music, PE, etc. It then inputs the plans into the calendar for the whole year. Sonlight is not one of their store choices, so I input those assignments manually. You can easily move assignments around, and it keeps track of school records, school days, etc. Very helpful. I print out separate weekly schedules Sunday night for each daughter. They took Apologia Biology together and I only had to pay I think $6.95 for that yearly plan, to be inputed into both girls' schedules for the year. As I said, if there is a sick day/vacation, you can easily adjust the schedule.<br />Blessings on a great year!<br />Pamchristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179537376746396949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136354382922279761.post-76985164215707773482023-06-03T08:20:30.136-07:002023-06-03T08:20:30.136-07:00Yes, Sonlight, while being so wonderful in choosin...Yes, Sonlight, while being so wonderful in choosing engaging books, has never been good at teaching Language arts as a whole. I, too, am supplementing with 7 Sisters. I bought their American Literature as well because my daughters have already read so many of the titles on every American Literature choice I have looked at. Sabrina at 7 Sister's (they are not actually sisters lol) does a wonderful job with her guides and they are so inexpensive that I can use the guides for the books that we haven't read, or assign them books again, which is fine too if they were read a few years ago. There is no one curriculum that works without some supplementing because we are teaching children, not a curriculum. No curriculum should be followed blindly, as that is not really teaching. You do a good service to your readers to explain when, how, and why you supplement. It is harder for first-time homeschool moms, but they will understand this soon enough.

I use the Homeschool Planet website to do my girls' weekly lesson plans, integrating them on one page per child, probably like you are used to. I pay $7.95 a month for the online scheduling service (yearly plans are cheaper) but it saves time because they have Apologia Science plans and math plans available for most curriculums that you can purchase from their store, and it plugs the plans into the calendar for the whole year. You can easily move assignments around if you take a sick day, vacation, etc. There are yearly lesson plans available for purchase for usually about $4 to $7 per curriculum company, ranging from math, language arts, music, grammar, PE, etc. Sonlight is not on there so I input those plans manually. It keeps me very organized and counts school days and keeps records for each child for each year. Have a blessed year. bookworms3us(at)gmaildotcom<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136354382922279761.post-24201596663111887432023-05-06T08:14:35.926-07:002023-05-06T08:14:35.926-07:00The Care and Keeping of You and The Care and Keepi...The Care and Keeping of You and The Care and Keeping of You 2 have been edited now to a more “modern” version that includes being transgender and lgbtq wording and also discourages girls from talking to their parents about these concerns.
