Discussion of how to educate an 8th grader. Issues include the continuing maturing of the young adult’s mind and thinking processes, the learning environment, timeframes, and resources. Includes lists of resources required, a general strategy for each subject, and a two months sample of the detailed daily lesson plan and schedule that we implemented with our kids. Our hope is that these details are sufficient for any parent to teach their 8th grader with 20 minutes of daily interaction. While more daily interaction is helpful when possible, this plan shows how a busy father can give his child an excellent education spending about 20 minutes five days a week.
