Just Dx with Hashimoto's. What do I need to know?
threebyme replied to ScoutTN's topic in The Chat Board
Every persons journey is different. What works for one won't work for another. I cut out gluten and that has helped me tremendously as well as dairy. I follow https://thyroidpharmacist.com/ I find her information very helpful. It will take time to figure out what works for you to manage it, and it may change over time. Be patient and really listen to your body. You may also need to be your own advocate as well, if something feels off and you need to talk to your doctor they may not quite listen to all your issues or be dismissive. But, some doctors are quite open. Best of luck! -
I've used them for about 10-15 years and no issues. They offer the same brands my eye doctor recommends.

AP classes: opinions, how does it work?
threebyme replied to Teaching3bears's topic in The Chat Board
our district has the classes open to anyone who wants to take the AP course. Of course I think with math there are pre requisites I'm not sure about the other AP courses. -
It does vary, usually I don't see prices like most so I was curious. But, I spent enough money today and got a free one so that worked!
-
I am wondering in your area (HCOL or LCOL) what is a good price per pound for a turkey? Right now- HCOL, if you spend $150, free turkey OR spend $50, 0.49 cents a pound. Another store- up to 15 lbs/ $6; up to 22 lbs/ &8 So, what's it like near you?

I agree with what's been said- glancing through it. It is interesting because both my kids took Spanish at the high school- one teacher offered extra credit, the other nothing at all- she was a very strict teacher. I think most teachers offer something in regards to extra credit though- and I've never heard of a teacher offering too much extra credit either.

Anybody been to Disneyland *and* WDW Florida?
threebyme replied to PeterPan's topic in The Chat Board
We've been to both and we prefer Disneyland. It could've been my kids were entering their teen years when we made it to Disney world and had been on a long trip already, plus hot weather!! We enjoyed both and both were busy, but honestly we were done with Disney world by dinner and we easily spent two days at Disneyland. -
AP or College course?
threebyme replied to threebyme's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks everyone! Yes, I was talking to a friend and she felt there was an 'oversaturated' amount of students taking AP courses at the high school. I'm not sure if they are well done, but from what I heard a push from the school for students to take them so made her question the classes themselves? She was asking about comparing the AP classes to the college course. Money is not the issue and the student can take an online course college course. So mixing in with lather college students at this time is also not an issue. My oldest took a few AP classes and passed the exam but in the end did not count for college credit, so I didn't have much thought to compare. I guess only to say I'm not sure the AP classes paid off for her as she hoped, and she didn't go to a competitive school or anything like that. i was trying to get a comparison of pros and cons I suppose, and I'll take a look at those links Lori D.! -
I am wondering what people's thoughts are on students taking an AP class at a high school versus taking the (or like) class at their local college (online or in-person)? I know a lot factors in with the student, but in general if you felt the student was capable of either one- which would you prefer and why? Thanks!

MUS Geometry to Algebra 2
threebyme replied to threebyme's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thank you!! 😁 -
Hello- I am wondering about anyone's thoughts on having a non-mathy student go through MUS Geometry and move into a regular Algebra 2 course. I am not sure if this is a 'dumb' question, but I, myself, am not a mathy person!! So, have no clue how Geometry affects ones ability for Algebra 2.😕 A little background: 9th grader, we pulled out of high school right away (her request) and she takes a couple classes at the high school, rest at home. We have to use accredited programs and this year we chose American School quickly for Algebra 1, as they suggested. It is fine- uses a regular math textbook. I am not sure we want to use this route again for Geometry though. We see her continuing home school through next year with we will see for 11th grade. I am just wondering with MUS Geometry (described as light) do you think a student could move into an Algebra 2 class at the the high school just fine? (I found Bridgeway Academy offers MUS as accredited, that's why I'm asking). Thank you, thank you!

All of the above and in addition to K-LOVE, radio station Air 1 is pretty good for up beat I think.

Well, I never knew you could cash out the rebate!! I like that idea! Maybe next year- and I will go ahead and count my total spent before rebate towards my food budget for now! Thanks!
-
I have a monthly budget and I cannot remember how I handled this last year. My question is I received my Costco rebate and used it today when I went shopping- so do I count the total I spent in my food budget or the amount spent after the rebate was applied?? what do you all do?? Thanks!!

8th or 9th grade best time to start public school?
threebyme replied to Srtepe's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think there are pros and cons to either way- as people have shared. My kids ended up in public school because I had some health issues going on. My older one home schooled through 8th and entered public school in 9th- he transitioned well. It helped that he knew several people and joined the cross country team which starts before school did. In 8th grade he took a couple of online classes so he could get use to another teacher and different expectations. My younger one did 7th and 8th at a middle school and socially it was hard. But we learned she is also easily influenced. She went to high school for a couple days found it overwhelming and so she goes there part-time and home schools part-time too. This is working well- a balance we have enjoyed so far. It might just depend on your student- I think the more independent they are and if you can try to outsource some classes for 8th grade she might be fine to enter 9th grade. Or you maybe she can try first semester 8th grade and if it does not go well pull her? Also maybe do some research in your community to see which classes, if any, could count towards high school, or can test out of for credit etc. as people have pointed out- I think that is by area and if that is important to you. I think there people have posted too about what 8th graders should know before entering high school- such as, name/date/class period on assignments, etc. -
We homeschooled for 6 years and enjoyed sick free years mostly! 😄Then enter school a couple ears ago and off the bat my younger caught something bad! Coincidence? Maybe! But, we probably experienced more colds the last 2 years then all the 6 years at home. Now my youngest is part-time at school and part-time home. 3rd week in we are all good so far!

What chores do your children do regularly?
threebyme replied to DesertBlossom's topic in The Chat Board
Mine are 13 and 16 so quite a bit. Dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, laundry, dust, wipe down counters, etc. we take turns in the bathrooms to clean it thoroughly. Then of course they take care of their rooms and help with making dinner once in awhile, that I actually want to integrate more into our routine. That's regular, then we also ask for help with deep cleaning a couple times a year. -
My daughter has mild scoliosis and yes if she stands or sits too long she can have back pain. She has seen a physical therapist who prescribed specific exercises, suggested a pillow to sit on (when she was in school sitting in hard chairs) and more recently as a young adult she has chosen to see a chiropractor- she said this has helped like nothing else!

When I started looking into this a few years ago, I almost took an online job with a smaller program than you mentioned and it paid by student as well. I figured it out, even with a full load of students I would barley break minimum wage. I seriously considered it though becuase I felt I wanted to do online teaching, but after really considering the time and work I figured even the more well known online programs probably won't pay too much more, I chose to find part time work with my district and get paid well. Have you considered teaching English online, like vipkid? The pay seemed decent to me. Good luck on your research and job searching!

Thank you everyone! There are several questions, thoughts and ideas and different experiences shared. I really appreciate that! The seperation would be two years, so honestly it will likely be too long. Again the opportunity came sooner than we expected. If it was a year or less I feel we could do it, but I am going to pose some of these questions to my husband so we can further discuss. I do believe it would benefit our younger but the older one would benefit from staying. thank you again!

I am not sure how to title what I am about to ask- and I'd rather not go into a lot of the detail and it may sound like an odd thing but am wondering... Would you be willing to split up your family so that each spouse takes one child with them for job/ family...? Basically, my husband and I agreed that in a certain number of years we would move to be closer to extended family, but a job opportunity may be opening up for one of us there in the next few months. The other one has a job opportunity opening up here in town this summer. (Of course, nothing is guaranteed). One kid would stay to graduate from their high school- the other one would transfer (freshman). When we discussed this the one with the job here would stay with that job when the other moved anyway and the nature of the job would allow travel to the new home. The job opportunity near extended family is a rare opening, so with this new information (just found out yesterday) we are confused, so just wanted to throw it out there. And no we have not said anything to the kids, but will if we decide to pursue this further. (I won't add details but basically, the younger child has had some issues and we are trying to address them but for certain reasons, we cannot in this town- and starting fresh while getting the assistance also sounds wonderful). But, we are also torn about the idea of not being together.

I've been to Oahu once with my husband. We loved it- warm, beaches, etc. Pearl harbor was good, Diamond head was fun to hike up and watch the sunrise as well as snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. We were there a week and drove around the island- it was wonderful! If we go again I'd like to explore another island. So, why not? GO!

Glad you are all okay up there, down here in southeast Alaska so we didn't feel anything.

Okay, great thanks! I will look on ebay and may consider an mp3- I'm sure between them they would be able to figure out how to download the music from itunes.
