Don't you wish you could put your child through college for free?

Well, MIT and UC-Berkley now allow you to teach your high school student (or college student) for free using online lectures and video courses. Of course, your child doesn't receive college credit for these courses, but they can learn the material without having to pay tuition fees.

I've also found a website that lists free college classes, documentaries, and language courses. The Elite Skills website has compiled a massive list of free college courses for autodidacts (self-taught learners).

A junior-high student could benefit from the documentaries, language learning lessons, and educational videos found on this website. If you're homeschooling a junior-high student, you can use the documentary videos and do a unit-study, or require a written report (research paper) based on the video documentary. This website is a fantastic resource for homeschool parents—I wish I had found it earlier. My oldest son was particularly fascinated by the physics documentary on The Elegant Universe (string theory).
