How do you graduate from homeschool?
You fulfill the requirements that your parents set down for you (which generally requires *at least* the minimum set down by the state), and they complete both your transcript and diploma. There is no rule that says that either has to be "accredited" - colleges don't really care. (Well, the UC system does, but they're really the only ones, and there are ways to get around that.) You don't have to take your GED, in most states you don't have to send anything in - you just complete your requirements (core and elective credits) and graduate. Many areas do have homeschool graduation ceremonies that you can take part in - you can walk with other homeschool kids that are graduating at the same time. It tends to be a small world, so chances are you would know many of them from co op, concurrent enrollment, clubs, classes, etc. Hope that helps!
What is a good computer animation program for homeschoolers?
Today is your lucky day. I just spent 4 hours researching animation software. The type of animation program to get should be based on 2 things. 1. The age of the homeschooler and 2. The type of animation that the homeschooler is interested in. There's 3 animation software that I would recommend. 1. Toon Boom - Cartoon Animation (younger users) 2. Anime Studio 6 debut or Pro - Cartoon Animation (teens users) 3. Poser 8 - 3D animation (teen users) 4. DAZ Studio 3 - 3D animation (teen users) Free Version is available on their site www.daz3d.com Next week I will be posting a list of animation software and animation tutorials on my site Poser By Design. www.poserbydesign.com You can also look on youtube for animations that were created with these. To see which will fit your needs the best.
I want to be homeschooled, but my parents won't let me no matter that I don’t like public school. Do you think homeschool would be better?
Homeschool is better. I'm a homeschool parent and I work. There are many misconceptions about the school system.Everyone thinks it works. It doesn't. Children waist more time in school due to distractions, improper teaching, and stressing homework.You don't have to know every subject inside and out to teach it. Public and private school teachers have been doing it for years.Social interactions. This is BS. Has anyone met these kids? I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog. My son has all the social interactions he needs. We go to the dojo, he has friends on our street and around the neighborhood.Its costs money. Nope. Its completely free. Now there are options where your parents could enroll you in a private homeschool system where they keep attendance records, verify curriculum, and even issue diplomas. Those run about 300 dollars per school year.The law. The law has changed. Teachers complained so much of crowded classrooms that the DOE approved all these different homeschool programs.Look at K12.com. (my friends wife teaches for them) It's completely free. (They will even give you a computer if you need it). It is a registered school in your state (they're nationwide). They send you all of the materials, class connect sessions with your teachers so you actually have a time to report. And all your parents have to do is register you, provide copies of your birth certificate, and immunizations record.I mentioned K12 because it sounds like your parents are not sold on homeschool. If it's because their time may be too demanding; this will solve that. If it's the fear of price; it's free. If they're worried about attendance; you're tracked and the teacher will notify your parents if you're not in class.I'll admit that it was a lot of work in the beginning. That was 4 years ago. I write all the curriculum. And I do it to aid my son to his job goal. Police officer. I managed to obtain books from my friends that went through the academy (federal is a bit different) and one of his classes is Criminal Justice.

Review on Monarch Online Homeschooling? And AP classes? 10pts!?
It's okay, I don't really like it. I'm not big on their newest online curriculum - Ignitia either, but I like it better than Monarch. My main complaint is how the questions are - it takes forever just to load the next one. I prefer being able to see each question BEFORE submitting my test instead of having to submit answers one by one. I'm not sure what you mean with the AP courses... as Monarch doesn't offer any. Monarch does have many electives to choose from. If you're talking about taking an AP courses AS an elective, it doesn't really matter - you can do whatever you like, it's your choice. Taking an AP course has nothing to do with finishing high school quicker - she still has to meet graduation requirements. AP courses look great on an application (but they should preferably be taken before senior year). She doesn't need them to get into college though. If she wants to go to some highly selective school like Harvard, then she should take as many as she can. You'll have to do some research for requirements for submission to colleges. 2 years of a foreign language is now basically required for any college. 3-4 for selective to highly selective ones. Personally, I liked SOS better (I used the online version). But you should really let your daughter decide. You can get free placement tests and kinda peek around Monarch's interface before you decide to buy it.
