Answer 2

You can get an all you need to know book from Barnes and Noble and start doing what you can to learn for that. The other thing you could do is study for the GED - make it your mission to be able to pass that and then just go straight to college - where they will likely have child care and you will have a real chance for education at virtually no cost to you.

I say the GED route, only because it doesn't sound like you have a support system around you - and homeschool requires some help from either parents or teachers.

Answer 3

Illinois

Illinois Virtual High School (not free but affordable)

Chicago Virtual Charter School

Answer 7

It's not free, but there's the IL Virtual High School.  You have to register through your school district and the enrollment deadline was yesterday:

The Chicago Virtual Charter School that someone posted is only for those who live in the Chicago school district, *and* it's only for K-9.  (People need to do research before posting.)

There are no other free HS'ing options in Illinois.  Your parents can HS you using the library and used materials for cheap if money is an issue.

Why can't you go to public school anymore just because you're pregnant?????  They don't kick pg students out of schools.

Answer 8

If you need to learn on your own, then read. I dropped out at your age and my state laws wouldn't let me take the GED until I was 17. So I read, fiction and non-fiction. You will be amazed at what you learn just from reading library books. You can check books out at your library for free. Also, if there is a college or university near you go check out their campus library. You will find textbooks and lots of regular reading material. Don't forget private colleges! Often you will find videos/DVDs that are educational that you can watch right there in the library. There is usually a fee to get a library card at a college where you are not a student, but if you can't afford the fee then ask for the "person in charge" and explain your financial situation and that you would benefit greatly from being able to use their library resources. Often they will waive the fee.

You can also go to thrift stores in your area and look for books or texts that interest you. Look for smaller thrift stores, as Goodwill usually charges too much for their books.

Just remember, if you want to learn, you will. You don't need anything fancy, just read!
