In this session, Carrie will answer the most FAQ about homeschooling through high school: How is a transcript created? What constitutes a high school credit? What is needed to earn a diploma? What about college? What does a typical day look like? What about extracurricular activities, dual enrollment, or special needs?

Did your child have another terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (homeschooling) day? If you have a child who struggles with school work, struggles to read, and/or struggles to concentrate, then you probably have had more than a few of these challenging days. Whether your child is dyslexic, has attention issues, or is just a late bloomer, homeschooling moms often feel like they are either not doing enough or not doing things the right way. Dyslexia is not a deficiency; it is a gift (even though it may not feel like it at times). Kids with dyslexia learn differently, so they need to be taught differently. In this session, Carrie shares the struggles, challenges, triumphs, and miracles she experienced while homeschooling her dyslexic child as well as teaching strategies that can be used with your own struggling student.
