Are All High School Courses Necessary? (Podcast 254)

I recently received this question from a homeschool mom (Rebecca) and I thought it was so good that I would share it in a podcast!  “I have listened to so many of your podcasts, and I know you believe in a very relaxed approach for the younger years. You encourage a similar approach to high school, but you work with an even stronger emphasis on owning their lives and education.  My question is, do you think all of the traditional high school courses are necessary if they’re not going to college?  If your state doesn’t require specific courses to graduate, then do you think it’s all truly necessary?” Navigating the Post High School Years Homeschooling a Struggling Learner Through High School If you haven't checked out my new book, The Four Hour School Day please do that!  As a 25+ year veteran homeschooling mom of 8, I share WHY you can give your kids a robust education in four hours a day or less!
