My son is 12. Currently going to public school in 5th grade. He is a little emotionaly/socially delayed and I am planning on home schooling him next year.I do not fully believe that everything they need to know is what the schools teach. I want to raise him to be self sufficient, creative, succesful and to be able to run his own business + skills he can use to fall back on for income if he needs to.
The things I have down so far as important are:
Letter writing - business and personal with proper punctuation etc.
Typing - 40 wpm by the time he "graduates"
Computer skills: word, excel, photoshop,frontpage - the key and high use programs.
Spelling
Extended vocabulary words
Writing: articles and short stories
Accounting & money mgmt.
Time mgmt skills
Bookkeeping(?)
How to sell
How to market and advertise (My area)
I also want him to either learn from me or trade school: business Mgmt.
+ all the life stuff like cooking, shopping, cleaning etc
What else? Can you help add to the list?
