Summary

Welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! This week we are talking about something that makes a lot of homeschool parents nervous… high school. High school often seems different. It feels heavier. The subjects get harder, the stakes feel higher, and suddenly all those quiet doubts start getting louder. Am I qualified? What about chemistry? What about advanced math? What about sports and social opportunities? Are we keeping them from something important? A lot of families say, “We’ll homeschool… but probably not for high school.” And tonight we want to talk about that. Where does that fear come from? Is it actually justified? And what are we really giving up if we decide to send them in just because it feels intimidating? Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. They’re an amazing math curriculum, and we encourage you to check them out at teachingtextbooks.com. Today’s show is also being underwritten by Samaritan Ministries and Redeem HealthShare. Where Members are committed to honoring Christ and A community of Christians that pay one another’s medical bills…helping families take a safe step of faith as they feel God’sLeading in career or ministry changes or in bringing mom home.
