So to sum up homeschooling teenagers, the goal is to teach them to teach themselves, with you as the guide, and to learn the way they will have to learn in college. For the most part, college students teach themselves. They hear a lecture, but they read the books at home, and figure out the best way to teach themselves the material. If they need help, they ask for it. This is what my children are doing now. They have even reached a point where they no longer need math lessons. They read the instructions, do the work and check it against the answers. Often they will tell me they want to go back and review something they've forgotten, or plan to redo a section they feel they haven't mastered yet. They have taken responsibility for their own education.

That's the whole point of homeschooling.
