We had a fantastic visit with my college buddy, Cindy, yesterday. We got to see four of her six kids after they got out of high school. We haven't seen these guys in a very long time. As her two oldest start their senior year, they're looking at colleges. Cindy was going through what colleges run these days. Holy stink. Oh, and her kids are taking some college classes right now, plus they're doing some truly amazing stuff in their final year of high school.
I have to get my stuff together for high school homeschooling. I have some worksheets to help me plan, but I really need to get some experiences and curriculum. I feel like I'm going to have to come out of my comfort zone, which may mean I don't play to my strengths. Then I read this article, which did nothing to soothe the freak out factor.
My kids are smart, but that's only part of the equation. College is part of the equation, but the cost is skyrocketing, so I wonder about the future of traditional colleges. There is no justification for a $200k college degree. I hate the stress of living up to expectations. Fitting the mold. How do we proceed from here?
