| This question gets at the heart of the concern of | | | | year! (Yeah!) So if you want to, you can leave off |
| a lot of homeschooling parents. If you child is | | | | 9th grade science, and say General Science 10, |
| slightly below grade level in science or math, then | | | | Bio 11, Chem 12. That's fine too. Whatever you |
| do those remedial classes in high school count on | | | | choose isn't that significant. Colleges will often pick |
| their homeschool transcript? | | | | and choose which classes will fulfill their |
| If your child is in 9th grade, and they take | | | | requirements. If you have more than enough |
| General Science, then in my opinion it's a credit | | | | science, they may not include it anyway. I view it |
| that can go on their homeschool transcript - | | | | like Driver's Education - just put it on the |
| simply because your child is high school age. I | | | | transcript and if the college wants to use it then |
| figure that if a kid takes remedial anything in a | | | | they will, and if they don't, they won't. |
| public high school, they still put it on the transcript, | | | | By the way, the homeschool experts don't really |
| right? Just label it "general science" so you're all | | | | agree about credits like this - they all have a |
| above-board about it. If Physical Science was | | | | unique opinion on what is a credit and what isn't. I |
| taken in 10th grade, then again it's a credit for | | | | think you have the freedom to decide for |
| their homeschool transcript, and label it physical | | | | yourself whether you want to call it a credit or |
| science. Biology and Chemistry are more | | | | not. |
| obviously high school level. | | | | Being concerned about what to put on their |
| One other detail. Most colleges need to see only | | | | homeschool transcript is a good thing! It show you |
| three years of science, so if your child ends up | | | | are aiming them for college. |
