Answer 1

Judging by the way you described your dillema, I think it might be possible that you lack the self-motivation and self-direction skills needed for homeschooling of any sort... However, if your final is that close I will gladly help you. US history is one of my favorites.

Answer 2

There are many other homeschooling options than the one you seem to be using.  Talk to Mom about just buying some workbooks for you to do in different subject areas and some novels to read.  It would be less expensive than an online curriculum, and Mom could choose things that would fit your needs and interests.  Home schooling is not simply school at home. You need a curriculum and schedule that works for you.

Answer 3

Print the unit out, go to your book and look up the answers, you now have a study guide to help you learn the material.

Answer 4

First off, try to calm down. I don't think it's unusual for kids who've previously been to school to struggle initially with having to master (or rather re-master) learning by themselves.

At school, kids can soon take for granted that there's a teacher there to help them and 'rescue' them and tell them what they should be doing and how and why to do it (and, in heaps of schools, it's an approach and an attitude that teachers actively encourage and foster). It's what some homeschoolers mean by 'spoon feeding' you your education...but, as a homeschooler, you pretty much have to chuck out all those assumptions and re-learn how to master things by yourself and for yourself, without depending on the help of anyone else. It's something that comes heaps easier and heaps more naturally to kids that have never been to school, that have never fallen for that line about somehow "needing" a teacher's help before it is possible for them to learn anything.

As for your history course, all you need to do right now is print off the multiple choice questions and possible answers and then hit the books or reliable websites (but, before you take them at face value, make sure the sources they cite for their information are reliable!) and then just cross-check their information with the possible answers you have in front of you.

Similarly, take the titles of the two remaining units, find yourself a couple of decent US history textbook (possibly from the library) or websites and make some notes of your own to work from and study with. Also you might find it helps to research and write a couple of essays of your own in order to help you 'get inside' the topics you need to write about to get your remaining marks.

Answer 5

Why aren't your parents helping you????  Why are you being homeschooled if no one at home is supervising/assisting you??
