Andie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm desperately trying to think of something to say about afterschooling to justify this post, but I cannot. I also cannot resist a blank slate. Never got to be first on the old board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Congratulations on being first, Andie. :) You know, I started not posting first over the last few months, because it was just more evidence of my insomnia. If I had only known that one would be THE last. An afterschooling board is great! So many of us do a mix, depending on the child and the year. I've tried to post this for the last half hour, and keep getting 'server busy'. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wow! I just noticed this board! It's great! I am actually an afterschooler, but I have visited the board for ever because you ladies are just an amazing source of information and support! I hope the news spread and we get more users in this new board! Mabelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm homeschooling two of mine (8th & 3rd), and afterschooling my oldest (10th). She was homeschooled through 9th grade. What are your dc's ages/grades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I only have two: an 11 yo dd who is in 6th grade and a 3 yo (almost 4) dd. My oldest attends a small private school where she is very happy, and I just try to support her school curriculum. I also work with her at keeping up her Spanish speaking skills, so far I have not done anything formal, but I talk to her in Spanish since I am a native speaker. I am just starting the Preparatory Curriculum to Letter of the week with my little one. How did your oldest adapt to high school? I like to lurk in the High School board because I get to learn a lot about the American high school system, how it is structured etc, which I otherwise would know nothing about.

gardenschooler Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 She adapted just fine, because it was her idea. :D She says it's much easier than homeschooling, even though she's in honors/pre-AP. She always wanted to go, and it was sort of now or never, with the transfer in. She's happy. But there is plenty of supplementation needed! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieKris Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh, I'm glad to see this board. I'll likely be afterschooling in the future, and am glad I'm not going to be 'kicked off' the boards for not being a full time homeschooler!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
