I have done this quite often. In regular school this individual attention is lacking, and the teacher continues even though your child has missed the concepts or has not memorized sufficiently. In addition, encouragement can be offered in the teen's strengths, and acceleration can occur where there is a strong area of interest. I am convinced that Christopher's high school education up to now is superior to what I had back in the 50's. My experience, admittedly limited, leads me to think that most homeschooled teens will do the same or better if they are homeschooled and if their parents are somewhat involved and conscientious about their education.
Flexibility is a big advantage of homeschooling teens.
You can teach at night or early in the morning. You can work around family trips, seminars, sports, part-time jobs, and special family events. And you can share your reli-gious faith and values in the ways you choose. Frequently, homeschooled parents discover that their own faith is enlightened and strengthened as they teach and strengthen their children's faith. With high school homeschooling, you as a parent should have more peace of mind.
