I am not teaching high school to my children yet, but I have taught high school in public school! I taught Agriculture Education. When I was student teaching, I found loads and loads of FREE things on the Internet to teach my classes as well as complete my “Lesson Plans” for my other teaching courses while in college!
Personal Note: My goal is to get the majority of book work learned by the time my children finish 8th grade, so I can spend time teaching them or helping them with what they feel God has called them to do in life! In reality the majority of the ‘”new” things I learned in high school were in my AG classes! Yes, I took the AP classes and went through calculus, but I did not need it for my major, and I really have not used it since! All the garbage (humanistic books) I read in English class, I have never used. I did learn a little more about writing papers, but I found when I was in college, each professor wanted me to write my papers differently! When my husband went to college at age 30, he had NEVER written a paper in his life! He was homeschooled and his mom did not require it! Anyway, I proofread his first one and helped him a very little, but he made a 100 on it and all the rest! He took 9 credit hours (3 classes, 1 per semester) for a Project Management Certification and made straight 100s on his papers and tests! He had never taken any tests either!
