Yeah I quit my job and took up gig work while homeschooling my four daughters. They're all straight A students now. Last month my wife and I met with the superintendent and the principal of the high school two of them attend and went over my self-designed curriculum in detail. The transferrable credits were approved in full the next day, and the principal pulled me aside after the meeting and suggested if I were to pursue the credential he would hire me as an interdisciplinary educator for their college prep programs.

If you did this, I like how you just tossed this into a the junk drawer of p99 RnF, after the auto flusher, you know, just another day in the life.
I'm in education in RL.
I'll cut it short. If you can compile an effective k-8 education itinerary and instruction for your kids, you ALSO can devise an
equivalent quality course of study for BA set of skills
most schools would die to produce. Unless yer kids are gifted and going for free to a serious school, just think about that. It's the wave of the future. Time stamp it.
Fuck it, I'm going in.
In the near future there will be 4 reasons US
undergrad college (brick and mortar) exists:
- Social fun
- Tradition, family, sports scholarships
- Status
- Professional status
Those 4 categories are not enough, anywhere near enough, to sustain the current coast-to-coast network of public and private schools and branch campuses, all brick and mortar. It's as obsolete as the manuscriptorium. Gutenberg moment.
I had to be walking distance to a research library, and it better be open 24/7. I'm not making a joke. I am describing the mechanics of information in the 1980's. That is simply no longer true, at all. I have 4 friends' log-ins to their faculty research portals. I deal with fucking text based material. You could power the amount of work related bandwidth my valuable work uses with a potato.
Blockbuster. The BA is Blockbuster. If you did what you just did, you just saved way more money than you realized. There is no name for it yet, but soon, "pop up campuses" and "co-op" will become a thing. Credits ... still to be hashed out, that part. You and your daughters can start a "learning group / guild" to work through the mission. Given I am talking near zero costs beyond books and a research portal. you can all spend a semester hiking and still do a four-class semester. Zoom with someone group on another high up mountain chain.
Lol I'm not kidding. If you did K-9, think about it. It's very doable. I'm on my way out and I can give it away, it's fun from my angle. It's cake to make up a syllabus for a 101 or a 201 level class. I mean: an afternoon. The basic "map" of a BA is a simple binary with branches: Arts/sciences. Arts breaks down to humanities and human sciences. Sciences breaks down into core or hard sciences, and applied science. For example: history 101, anthropology 101, physics 101, engineering 101.
There is a well-rounded first semester. The history, anthropology, and engineering can be targeted, or overview, dealer's choice. It would all about you getting *your* take on the groove so to speak, of the entire sweep of the BA. I highly recommend getting one either way hah. But damn, they better be going Ivy these days. Otherwise these places are strictly out of Alien.
I'm free soon. Things be better then.
