Passing this school year?

Question

I am homeschooled and I don't think I have gotten enough work done this year for my parents to homeschool me again. Do I have to pass the standardized tests, or just get enough work done? Like, if I haven't done a lot of work, and I pass the standardized tests, will I pass?

Answer 1

In Florida you have to show progress on the standardized tests.

I don't know exactly what curriculum or approach to home schooling your family is using, but you should discuss that with your parents. You need to have a personal goal and have some idea what field you are going into to know what you are studying and if you are going to earn the correct credits in High School to get there.

Answer 2

Homeschool doesn't have to immitate public school. Learning is not only accomplished through sitting at the dining room table pouring over workbooks and textbooks.

Also, remember that as a homeschooler it does take less time to do work. Think about it this way-- kids are in school for approximately 180 days per year, approximately 6 or 7 hours per day. Now, take away time spent in lunch and recess, time spent waiting for things like attendance or calling kids to buses, time spent sitting in front of a finished task waiting for everyone else in class to finish, time spent while the teacher collects and distributes materials and writes things on the board, time spent off task for the unexpected things that can come up (discipline issues, another teacher coming in to talk to the teacher a few minutes, etc.), time spent listening to announcements and for the teacher trying to get the class to settle down... more than half the day is not really spent on working, and even that work takes a lot less time one-on-one than with a group of over 20. So it may seem like you've done a lot less, but perhaps it has just taken a lot less time than you would expect?

Some states require some form of evalution that might include standardized testing... others don't. You might pass the standardized tests to fulfill the state's requirement, but that has nothing to do with how you're progressing in homeschooling-- some homeschoolers don't even use grades at home because they are arbitrary measurements. Don't worry about "passing" just worry about always progressing; and "failing" means nothing more than you still have some work to do on a particular skill or topic until you master it, it doesn't have to be labled so negatively. Think about it this way-- if you have engaged in an educational activity and learned something? Well, then you passed that little activity. Still having problems, keep at it.

Answer 4

Try the 'California Achievement Test'...if you pass that, then you should be fine ;) But I do suggest finishing as much as possible, even if you have to work through the summer.

Some states do require that you perform at a certain level on standardized tests. It really depends on the requirements in your state.

Answer 7

That's the problem that I see with homeschooling. Sometimes the students just don't understand the subject.
Do some reviewing during the summer and learn all you can.
What are you going to do in the real world someday?
