When I was 13 years old , my dad died (commited suicide.) It was right when school started, so I tried to make it through, but it was to hard. Then, when I had to get my tonsils removed, my mom removed me from public school and put me in online school (a home school type progam.) I did that for 7th grade. Then, in 8th grade, I tried to return to regular school but it didn’t work. The school system treated me as I was nothing. I went to the public school, and they didn’t even give me text books. So, again, she removed me from public school and back to virtual school. Then, my computer broke. We were tight for money at the time and I could no longer do virtual school (her work hours interfered with library hours.) So, we got the old textbooks from another county for free and tried to do that but she didn’t understand some. So, i feel like I have lost education. The school board will not let me re enter without taking a test, which i obviously couldn’t pass. I would be finishing 9th now.
I am almost done my masters degree. My live in boy friend never graduated high school, but I convinced him to enroll in univesity as a mature student. In his second semester, he has completely stopped going to class, playing world of warcraft and online poker instead. He says university isn’t for him but has no other plans. He says I try too hard to control the future, but I just want him to get a trade or something stable. Something other than fast food. I know our relationship won’t work if I am making 65K a year and he is serving burgers. We would get in fights over bills and all that, plus he wouldnt be happy. I don’t know what to do.
Hello all! I could really use some input and advice from people who know what they’re talking about. I was born, raised and educated in a European country and I moved to the US in my mid 20s, just a few years ago. I finished high school and went to college in my home country, but I never finished because I knew I was moving to the US and I could never use my degree here (a mistake, I know, but I was too young and too much in love). Anyway, now I would like to get a degree here, but it’s all so very confusing to me! Here are my questions:
1. I have my college transcripts and I know I can use them for some credits. I need to have them translated, but do they need to be notarized or something like that? I’m asking because a certified translator would charge a pretty staggering amount for all my paperwork.
2. I’ve been looking into requirements and a lot of them are all about previous scores, SAT, GED, ELA and other stuff I’m not even remotely familiar with. I can’t pull those out of my behind, so how do I get an equivalent?
I filled out quite a few of those online applications for universities to contact me, but they all gave me some sort of sales-pitch and no real answers.
I would greatly appreciate any help with these matters. Thank you in advance!
I’m looking into homeschooling for myself. I’m a 9th grader in Florida and I’m doing pretty well in the public education system but I think I could do a lot better in homeschooling and I’d be able to handle the many things I do each day a lot easier.
I’ve already looked up some of the laws involving homeschooling, but I was wondering if it was necessary to actually hire a tutor or something? I know some people do homeschooling online. Does that require certain software? How much would that cost?
When teaching the curriculum, do you just simply buy the books and learn it and have tests periodically?
What happens if you have to be “absent” for a day or two?
Thanks
