If you've done Veritas Omnibus I, about how long did it take to complete the book? ​How old was your student when you started/finished it? Did you do it on your own or the Self-Paced course? What'd you like and not like about it? In short, please share your thoughts on it.

It's totally still order-able on Amazon and eBay even if it says "Discontinued by Manufacturer". Both of them that I bought this year said "Discontinued by manufacturer". Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This is my exact situation. There are no other co-ops. I need to find peers (preferably same gender). Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I bought another Snake Oil game for friend in early January. I went to Amazon and clicked on "buying options". Here are some buying options: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HH0NTOE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520050400&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=snake+oil+board+game&dpPl=1&dpID=51ue5bIuVHL&ref=plSrch Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I don't mind the troll bit. No worries. It did get me stuck on the "I'm a grumpy old troll who lives under the bridge" song from Dora the Explorer show. Can't get it outta my head. Ha! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FvcJqcUlYTo I'm definitely going to explore the NCFCA. Thanks for the great ideas! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Cool. Writing is my fave. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'll look into this for sure Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I've thought of this too(you're right that we're primarily desirous of socialization opportunities), but (barely secondarily) we need a group with which to practice debate and to hear other not-just-like-our-own ideas. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

In about 3 years....Buy the game SNAKE OIL. We've played many a game here and Snake Oil always has us all laughing. It's the most frequently requested. Easy to learn. Doesn't take long to play a round. Play time can last as long or short as you want. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

It's ok, Calming Tea. Once I google troll, I'll try to be more mindful so I won't sound troll-ish. I had no idea of CC's baggage and thus surrounding emotions. Lesson learned. Thanks for these suggestions! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Thank you for these suggestions and for your sweetness! I'll probably continue posting. Just got my feelings hurt a smidge. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This is what I'm interested in starting... A lit and debate class. Thanks for this Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You captured my exact thoughts on MANY a CC day.... I go through ALL this for him to enjoy 20-30 minutes on a playground. I will say that I have met some really great friends from CC. So this good has come from it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Really great ideas. Thanks Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I know of no leads. There are two homeschool groups in my area... CC and another coop that is so exclusive/hyper-conservative that we'd never mesh. There's taekwondo, tennis, mixed martial arts, swim teams, gymnastics, and the like but these, like CC, are not really for socializing. The kids aren't supposed to be socializing during the instruction or implantation of these lessons. I need my child to have a group of peers who meet for the MAIN purpose of socialization. I don't mind taking on a single course (book club, Art of argument, speech and debate, etc ; (this class would be serious /appropriately rigorous) for them to do prior to socializing but I don't know what course to offer (I'll have to advertise it). I'm not the only person in my area who's in this exact boat of not wanting to do CC and yet missing aspects of it. I have friends who can't join for finances; I have a friend who can't return because she's having her 5th baby in July and it wears her out to drag them all to CC weekly; then there's me who likes to choose the curricula that fits US, that doesnt want to add 6 hours a day of school to our 2-3 hours of pre-existing non-negotiables, and who wants to teach my own kid. Yet all of us who aren't returning will lament(.. This Verb has caught flack... So let's say "will be bummed") .... Yet all of us who aren't returning will be bummed about missing out on some aspects of the program. So... I've got opinions from 2 gals (other than myself) about what she'll miss and what she'd sign up for and wanted to get MORE imput... thus my post. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Exactly!! CC has done this in my community. It's pretty much CC or nothing here. Now that we're getting out I want to offer a single course that'd appeal to many that would provide the one subject (wouldn't take over one's curricula /time too much) and afterwards the kids and moms could visit/socialize for 2-3 hours. Wanted to pick your brains for what subject would appeal. I now am thoroughly convinced that I did so in a convoluted way. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

We're in cc now and aren't returning this fall Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Thank you for your kindness Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Not fair at all. Sadly, I think this will be my last post. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

All of your reasons are the exact reasons we're getting out of cc Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
