question on homeschool/online classes?

heres the story. i started getting schooled online at home 2 years ago. a few months back, my family and i found out they were giving me the wrong work. like the wrong grade work. but the school ended up withdrawing me from classes, blaming it on me.

so now i am currently not in school. the online school i WAS attending didn't do there job correctly. as in contacting the school in town and getting information. the school in town had actually called us numerous times asking why i haven't showed up when the online school told us they would take care of it.

is there ANY way i can get back into some kind of online program since i was kicked out of the other one? i'm 17 by the way. would it be smarter just to wait til i am 18 to get a GED?

    Wow, thats ridiculous....if you get your GED, you can enroll in community college classes to get at least an associates degree so it won't appear like you are a high school drop out. You can also finish high school with another program. Here are a couple of reasonably priced schools...

    I've heard good reports about this one, but its kind of pricey..

    There are many online choices. I guess the smarter decision should be based on how close you are to graduation. If you only need a few classes, finish high school. If you need a lot - I would plan on GED and community college. Please do not take this advice as GED and stop - if you go the GED route, please continue with college. Good luck. : )

    Sign up NOW to legally be homeschooling in your state, since you aren't enrolled in any program right now.

    Next, forget the myth that you have to graduate from high school before you start college. As a legal homeschooler, most community colleges will accept you as a dual enrolled high school and college student. Talk to someone in the CC counseling department about doing this, and what they want.

    Take the CC placement tests for math and English, so you are placed in courses of the correct difficulty: not too hard, not too easy.

    Sign up for other classes you just find interesting, such as ceramics, softball, theatre, whatever. Once you write and compute well enough for academic classes, continue on with those, until you have enough college credits to transfer to a university or qualify for a good job, whichever path you choose.

    Our son earned his BA in Economics from the University of Hawaii without needing a GED, a high school diploma, or college entrance test scores. He got in on his CC transcript alone.

    If you feel you must have a high school diploma, contact Wes Beach of Beach High and have him help you draw up an experiential one.

    Sometimes the scenic route is more interesting than going the prescribed route!
