I am thinking about homeschooling my son who will be in 8th grade next year. He needs more attention then he is getting from the public school. I have found an online curriculum,etc… but I am concerned with ec’s once he gets to high school. I know there have been recent posts on ec’s in general, but I am also wondering about things like Student Govt and NHS and those typical types of activities. My older son who is a HS Senior has applied for many scholarships (still waiting for answers back on most!). And if I recall correctly many asked how many years he was in each club, which he was an officer in, etc… Since this seems to be so important on scholarship apps (and I assume college apps) how do homeschoolers make up for this? Even if my son was allowed to join clubs at the local HS (which I am not sure about) he doesn’t go to school with those kids so I don’t see him walking in the door and being voted in as Vice Pres into one of their clubs…
