We homeschool — or have, at least, for the early years of our sons. We are not nuts, it just works for our kids. We’re not religious, either, so we’re not in it for that reason. It just works, so we’re going with it. Here’s some things I’ve created for this purpose, and if you can use them for your own schooling, awesome. We get so many free or cheap resources online, I wanted to give back something, too. So here you are.
Crash Course Computer Science:
Crash Course has created awesome educational series for all sorts of subjects. Their computer science course is what my eldest was working on, so I created worksheets to go along with it. Back when my son was in the 4th grade he was at this material level, so it’s at least that high, but in reality, was quite a bit higher to suit his advanced studies. I never finished it (and I’m sorry for that) but perhaps it’ll be of some use to someone.
