Interesting. My friend has a daughter in 10th grade at the local public high school. She says her daughter is a straight A student, but shouldn’t be. Our state awards scholarship money for grades and ACT scores to every child. She says the teachers are giving out all the A’s they possibly can so kids can get more scholarship money.

I was very attracted to DH and wanted to date him the first time we met. :drool5: It was at a church function. I was 15 and he was 20. We had one conversation that day. Saw him one more time later that same week at same church, but we didn't speak at all that night. He actually left with another girl closer to his age. :crying: After that I didn't see him again for 2 years when I was 17. It wasn't until then that we had our first date. Within a month or two I was sure he was it. We married a year and a half later.

I wouldn’t go.

What is your “fancy†stuff that sounded so wonderful, but never got done? AAS- I’ve tried to make it work more than once. Started R&S 4 at the beginning of January and it’s getting done after not doing ANY spelling for MONTHS!!!

2006 doesn’t sound that old to me...

Where do I order these? I'm been reading a few threads about these. Do I need just the readers? Is there a placement test? My daughter would start at the beginnng but my son is a little trickier. He knows short and long vowels, vowel sets, consonant blends. He never wants to sit down and do a phonics lesson. He just wants to "read a story" as he says. Would these be for him?

xtramath.org! I forgot to include this in my list of hits. We are doing this everyday and I'm amazed at how much it has helped with math facts in just a month.

This is basically our first Latin class. We dabbled in the first few lessons of Prima Latina last year, but my grandmother got sick and I was traveling long distance to help care for her. It was the first thing that got dropped. I didn't want to get derailed again this year, so I signed up for the online class to hold us accountable. I think it will be just the right amount of challenge for her. We like it so far, but as the other poster said its still early in the year. Today was the 3rd class.

My 4th grader is taking Latina Christiana through MP online academy this year. She's the oldest so this is our first online class ever. We just started the 3rd week. Yes, typing would really help. She is keeping up, but it would go much smoother if she was a better typist! She is also in a Lit class and it's easier bc they utilize the microphone more. I plan on adding a typing program if not sometime this school year or over the summer. And I forgot to add, the 1.5 hour Latin class passes quickly. They spend a lot of time answering review questions and practicing grammar forms. It's not just listening for 1.5 hour. In my daughters class there is also a 10 minute break.

Yes, and it hurts worse than childbirth. :crying:

My 8 year old son (2nd grade) is just now learning to read. He's a late bloomer and was not ready at 6yo. He wasn't even ready at 7yo. I cried, worried, and wasted a lot of $$$ on Curriculum. He just needed time.

Okay, am I the only one who spent a long time trying to figure which denomination INTJ stood for? 🙄

I agree with everyone else. It's possible I had it done every year from the ages 13-18ish. Expensive though because to do it right it will take FOREVER to roll. My hair was close to waist length. You will basically be their only client for a day and are paying for a whole days work.
