    Life skills

    I do have the Lukes Life List it is very comprehensive.....I just don't have the time to go through all of it.

     

    I was just wondering if anyone had a list they use as a guideline. My first has 1 year left before going off to school/life and I just want to make sure I have all bases covered.

     

    She is bright and seems to be on top of things. Every once and a while she will do something that makes me nervous and I think " I gotta remember to teach her that". I guess you are never really prepared for them to go.

    SOS vs. Apologia

    Just wondering what people think about SOS vs. Apologia for upper level science. The reason I ask is because SOS offers video experiments as well as lessons.

     

    I tried Apologia Biology years ago and it was kind of dry for my taste. I really do not know of any other Science options for my 11th and 12th grader.

     

    Opinions please!

    TOG Question: Answer Key

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    Okay, I found the tests and quiz samples...I think my eyes are getting crossed, so much to absorb.

     

    I do have one more question....just curious. Does anyone create their own tests? This may sound nuts but I think my older kids are going to hate having to write their answers out.

     

    I do believe that my DC have gotten lazy due to SOS and Lifepacs multiple choice tests. I know I will have much protest over written answer tests.

     

    Anyone dealing with that issue?

    TOG Question: Answer Key

    Which years have been redesigned? And how do you know which you are purchasing?

     

    I am really interested in TOG I am just worried that it may be to overwhelming and add too much extra stuff for me to do.

     

    The question is will it be less work than my current procedure. I will have 6 grade levels next year. I just don't think I can handle planning 6 different lesson plans/curriculum without using something like TOG.

    TOG Question: Answer Key

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I have been combing the TOG site and I have a question.

     

    Do all of the sections come with an answer key?

     

    I got the impression that there were no answers given as the goal is for the parent to do studying as well.

     

    Can anyone clear up this confusion:confused:

    Voyages in English Question

    Well another mother mentioned that to avoid having extra work to do I should get the TM.

     

    So I guess what I meant was do you just figure out the answers yourself? And I guess you answered it.....the work is self explanatory. Perhaps it depends on how confident one feels about their Grammar proficiency.

     

    I think I can probably manage without the TM.

     

    Thanks!
