Question: Enlisting in the Air Force as Homeschooled?
I am enlisting in the Air Force. I graduated with a homeschool high school diploma, not a GED. What is the process for homeschool graduates? Will I enlist as a Tier I or Tier II status? I have read that a new 4 year pilot program was started in 2007, is it true? I am looking for advice about the process and the treatment I would get? Any information will help. Thank you.
Answer: most home school diplomas are treated as GEDs or the equivalent. as such you are Tier 2 and will most likely NOT get in easily without 15 100 level college credits.

Homeschooling Preschool Curriculum
|
Question: i want to start homeschooling my daughter when should i start and how do i get started? help!?
she is only 3 right now but i want to start homeschooling her when she would normally start preschool next august. i live in Mississippi so where would i go to get materials, curriculum that type of thing? and how in the world do i start? anyone who currently home schools or knows anything about it please help!
This is a reply to anyone who has any ignorant comments about southern hicks. The south in general, southern hicks and all have some of the best universities in the US ex: LSU, USM, MSU, OLE MISS. Of course i don't know what the schools want me to teach her because i have never home schooled before. But if us hicks are so stupid what makes you think the public schools are going to be any different because they are southern to. We live in the Bible Belt, I'll pray for you......
Answer: I live in Oregon, and homeschooled my two older daughters for several years. They both attend public school now, and the teachers say things like, "Your child actually asks questions and participates in class! " I will be schooling my young daughter and son next year, a 2nd grader and a preschooler. Preschool is all about developing fine motor control and learning through play. Tracing lines, cutting out simple shapes, play-doh, legos, going to the library, observing nature and the workings of the real world (example, a visit to a fire station or bakery). I don't use a pre-made curriculum at any grade, but I find purchasing math books very helpful (from about age 5). Helping with household chores, cooking, and gardening teach so much at any age. Lower the pressure on yourself and enjoy her. Let her pursue her interests. My oldest hated English but loved Science, so I stopped having her do English lessons and keep instead a detailed Science notebook. She would happily (in 2nd grade) write 6 plus notebook pages, as long as it was not called English. Now in high school, she is in advanced english, and scores in the 96th percentile on the official tests. If you are loving, patient, and willing to have fun it will be very hard to do it "wrong".
