Eli5 how do people with high school or less than high school educations homeschool their children in high school?

376 views

Where I grew up, math and science were mandatory until grade 10 and English until grade 12. I took biology and chemistry into grade 11.

Even still, math required understanding of logarithmic equations in grade 10 and relatively sophisticated understandings of King Lear in grade 12.

I’m wondering how uneducated parents actually go about achieving this. Like how someone with less than a high school education can explain algebra and allegory without extensive supplementary reading?

It will vary depending on the family and probably by country too.

If you want a more official qualification, you can enrol in homeschooling courses. You pick the subject and your grade level, and these provide you with all of the supplementary materials needed to complete the course. You’re given assignments, which you complete and submit to a tutor for assessment.

Maths/alegbra is pretty easy to learn at home, because it’s all written down and you can learn at your own pace. You can also do subjects like languages, through listening to recordings and sending recordings of your voice back. You get corrections and feedback on your pronunciation from the tutor.

Technology has made this process easier, because you can learn online. It used to be done through the post.
