Oh gee – I think I answered my own question. I just read your other post on “What should I put on my transcript”. Ack!!

Lee -

What happens when your child goes over 150 credit hours per year? Like a total of 416 hours per year? Would you count it as more than one credit and if so what to do with the remaining hours?

Thanks, Lee! This just confirmed what I was already going to do this year. I know in our public school they can get a credit for work study so I figured I would count it too.

Great idea, Lee!

Donna, you can track her hours at http://www.presidentialserviceawards.gov/ (and make sure to use them for the Congressional Award [http://www.thehomescholar.com/blog/congressional-award/375/])

Hi Donna,
I was able to get the link to work. Here is the address for the book: http://www.thehomescholar.com/sample-comprehensive-record.php

It’s important to have volunteer hours as well, so i wouldn’t use volunteer community service hours for high school credit unless it was necessary for some reason. It’s valuable enough on its own

Blessings,
Lee

Dear Lee,
The link above for the Sample Comprehensive Record does not work.
Also, can I give credit for volunteer community service that my 16 year old daughter does a couple days a week?
In Christ, Donna
