I have no children in school at this point in my life. But the way you explain things, I can see where it can be a huge help to homeschooling parents. I sometimes look back 40 years and think of I had the resources and internet we have now, I could have done more than a couple years of homeschooling.
Great video! I found it while planning the upcoming year for my rising 8th grader. I wonder, though, why you don't recommend giving credit for a high school English class taken in 8th grade. Two of my older kids took courses described as high school English in 8th grade and I gave them credit for those on their transcripts. Both were online courses intended for high school students. I didn't understand from your video why that might be inadvisable. Thanks!
We are looking at science and elective’s for taking high school classes in middle school. We aren’t sure about using foreign language at the moment but we may do it!!!
In my state the state site says that we can take do HS credits in 7th and 8th BUT it needs to be taught by a qualified HS teacher. So the question I have is if a video course would fit in that category of a class that is taught by a qualified HS teacher? Thank you for this video! ❤
This was so helpful, thank you! So I had my daughter do TGTB history last year, and working in the 7-9 student explorer, and I have a history credit for that. I didn’t think that would be a issue but now I’m rethinking it. My daughter is in her sophomore year now, is there anything I can do about that?
The only way it would ever be an issue is if she goes to a college that requests more information and then has an issue with it. I wouldn’t worry. While it is possible, it isn’t likely and it’s already done.
So my 8th grade daughter informed me last week she wants to do her history for high school credit this year. However, I had already purchased a curriculum that's listed for 5th-8th grade. Do you think it's possible to add projects and assignments on to the existing curriculum for high school credit?
Yes, Katie did the PSAT snd SAT. I have a couple of videos about standardized testing. This one is about taking g and preparing fir the SAT: th-cam.com/video/Rjm65xZYwps/w-d-xo.html snd this one is about standardized testing in a more general sense: th-cam.com/video/Lt4ktJ1ti-s/w-d-xo.html
I can't find ANY info about this for my state. It's low regulation and I keep trying to search on HSLDA and the state websites and dang... nothing. I did read that sometimes it doesn't matter and some colleges just want to see 4 maths or 4 sciences on your HS transcript no matter what, but I don't know. I'm torn with doing this.
If you can’t find anything, the safest bet is to wait until 8th grade for core classes like math and science. You could probably be safe with electives in 7th.
When I couldn't find any information for my state, I contacted hslda and asked them for specifics. They were very helpful and told me what was allowed in my state.
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
We did Physical science and our foreign language 1 in 8th grade..worked out well. Thanks for helping other mamas out there.
Those are the perfect classes for 8th grade too. I love how it saves room for some of the electives they want to take.
I have a 6th grader this year so this was helpful in thinking ahead to things in another year or two. Thank you!
Great! Thank you!

I think it can be easier now too because more people do it so it’s easier to find resources and community.
There are so many classes that I believe you could even do college level as young as middle school depending on the child’s aptitude.
Depending on state laws and college admission requirements, yes. Many 4 year universities won’t allow students to dual enroll until 11th grade.
@@simplejoyfilledliving My community college used to allow it but new rules have restricted people too young from enrolling. 😭😭
This has been so helpful!! I'm preparing for 8th grade next year, this was perfect timing. Thank you!
I’m glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
You are one on one with your children's education. So good to see. Have a Blessed day.
Thank you! 💕
My oldest is only a 4th grader, but I've wondered this for quite some time. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!

Only because it’s not allowed in my state. Otherwise, it’s fine.

Any of those would be great!

That’s a great question but I don’t know the answer. You probably need to check with your state.
Thank you. Do you direct a homeschool association?
No, I don’t direct a homeschool association, but we use SCAIHS and I highly recommend them.

No. High school classes have to be considered high school level by the publisher.
Did you do any sort of standardized testing to add extra validation to MS/HS credits? I’m wondering about PSAT etc.
Yes, Katie did the PSAT snd SAT. I have a couple of videos about standardized testing. This one is about taking g and preparing fir the SAT: th-cam.com/video/Rjm65xZYwps/w-d-xo.html snd this one is about standardized testing in a more general sense: th-cam.com/video/Lt4ktJ1ti-s/w-d-xo.html

Is there a certain template that you use or can suggest for building out the course description for transcripts?
I’ll add one as a free download for you when I film that video.
