At the most modern institutions we can be taught with the latest knowledge, some of it is not even available to the general public yet. Most of it will be outdated within 2 years. Computers are proof of that.
I picked up a Reading Comprehension book at the Baltimore Book thing last summer (2015).
I just pulled it off the shelf and decided to pick a few pages to copy at the copier and on the first worksheet, the first paragraph is about a new sport, SKATEBOARDING, they immediately mention- that wasn't even around 50 years ago. Made me smile. I looked at the copyright date, 1978. I love it.
I've been looking around online and it seems the free homeschool resources are coming with costs. Cookies, allow us to know your location, and so forth. I want to find a way to upload .pdf so when this computer becomes obsolete Lillian and Juliana will be able to access the high school work Isabelle had.
Moving everything online seems like the best option. Who knows what cellphones will be doing in 6 years! (I predict Juliana will still be grounded!! :) )
Math and the strategies could change and do change. We now have common core. I am using textbooks from the mid 2000s. I read online that calculus books written years ago are worded in a way that it makes it enjoyable to learn. I'll be looking into that further.

These books are not available at the time of me adding them to the page. They do provide you with the cover. If you come across these in your homeschool curriculum travels you'll know what they look like.
Preparing to homeschool er, or unschool high schooler is draining. She's on her last few months of 7th grade and I have plenty of time, but there's so many options.
