If your child has his year filled with the “required” courses such as Algebra II, English, History, and Science, how do you adequately record all the other “parts” of his coursework that sometimes manage to fill up “a credit/120 hours” or part of a credit?
In other words, if the “required” courses will fill the transcript and the student will accumulate enough credits to graduate, should all the “other” work, special interests, extra math (Business and Consumser Math), extra history (family history), and music (orchestra), extra science (They want to be an engineer and they pursue this during the school day.)be on the transcript as well? THey would have soooo many credits. Is this frowned on by colleges?

Since colleges ask for different things on the transcript (for example, some want course descriptions and some do not), should I prepare different versions of the transcript for each school, or just do a comprehensive one and use it for all the schools anyway?

I can’t see our feewheeling style changing as we move into high school. I don’t exactly “unschool,” but neither are my students on a military-tight schedule. I do have a few things I expect each of my students to get through on before certain deadlines. If we want to go do something (community service, field trip, learn more about something) we do it. If someone needs to spend more time on something in order to understand it, I accommodate. I’m not a clock watcher. Keeping track of time each student spent on every subject would drive me absolutely straight up a wall, and the thought of it makes my skin crawl. I do keep track of the materials we use and all the extracurricular stuff (like field trips and community service). How can one translate a list of “what we did” into “1 credit of Literature,” or “2 credits of Science?” How on earth does one determine credit in a loosely structured homeschool like mine? When I was in public high school, a credit was a pre-packaged, cut-and-dry affair because we were expected to progress at the same rate, we were on a tight schedule, and we pretty much studied the same things other high school students were studying around the nation. The last thing I want is to duplicate high school conditions just so I can count credits. So, what to do?

As the homeschool mom of a 9th grader, I’m just starting the transcript process. At this point I don’t even know the best way to prepare a transcipt. Should I buy a pre-printed form, use a computer program, etc.? I’m organized and can keep track of courses and grades, but have not researched how to prepare a transcript yet. Looks like I’m a great candidate for your new e-book!
