[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. What's your plan when they finish high school? If college is in the cards, how do you thikn they will adjust? 2. What's the nuttiest family you've run in to at one of the co-op events? Or just tell us some interesting stories about the other homeschoolers you meet at co-op.[/quote] My plan is for them to attend college/university, as my husband and I are both educated. If they came to us in high school and expressed interested in pursuing an alternate career path, such as (IDK, just totally making something up here) going to culinary school to open a catering business), I would have a sit down conversation with them about their goals, projected income, quality of life, etc and help them plot the best path to achieve their goals while maintaining security. I imagine most other educated families would have similar plans. I think they will adjust just fine-- they are in a classroom environment for co-op, learn from other people at co-op and through community activities, and by high school I plan on them taking plenty of courses from other people-- either online classes or community college classes, or local co-op classes from experts (I know a few PhDs and master's degree people who sometimes teach a homeschool class on the side for a little extra income).
