Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for a class?
Simply click on "Register" and complete the form. You should register multiple students one at a time. You may pay by credit card through a PayPal account, or you may pay with a check or money order. If you choose to pay with a check, you will receive follow-up payment instructions which include an address where you should send your check. Once payment is received, your student will receive account login information.
How do my student and the teacher interact?
Your student and the teacher will communicate via email. When a writing assignment is completed, your student will email the assignment to the teacher. When the teacher is finished reviewing the assignment, she will return it to your student along with the appropriate grading rubric.
What is the teacher's role in the class?
The teacher's main role is in helping your student improve his or her writing. Her primary focus will be on providing feedback for each assignment that is to be submitted. In addition, she is available to answer any specific questions your student may have about assignments or techniques. Finally, your student's teacher will interact with students on the Forum by providing feedback and insight on posted content.
How does a student access the class?
Once the registration process is complete, a student will receive login information for the [Class] area of the website. In this area, the student can download all course material. (Note: Adobe Reader is required to view all documents.)
How long does each class take?
Write4Homeschool classes are designed to be completed at your own pace. There are a sufficient number of lessons and activities to fill a full school year. Because of the depth of these assignments, however, some students may be more comfortable working at a slower pace and thus stretching the lessons over the course of two school years.
Is the content of the literature appropriate?
We have made every effort to select the best classic literature in our world's history. We feel that, while some of the literature may include controversial topics, approaching these topics as a family encourages deep and meaningful conversations. Classic works of literature may indeed explore some deep themes and address controversial matters, but it is these explorations that make these books so grand in their historical standing. Write4Homeschool will always note on the Course Description of each class any mature themes presented in recommended literature.
Do the classes contain religious content?
First, it should be stated that the author of Write4Homeschool curriculum makes no effort to be "politically correct" or to hide her belief in God. That said, it should be noted that discussions of all literature are conducted with the goal of allowing the student to think for him or herself. Additionally, because it is important that young people be able to view the world around them objectively, a variety of religions and beliefs are brought to light in the course of each class. Literature in itself tends to be inherently religious simply because an author is likely to allow his personal beliefs to be interwoven through his text.
What if I have registered for a class and then decide I do not want to take it?
