Feel free to continue to the next level, that's part of the beauty of homeschooling, the dc can learn on whatever level they happen to be at on any subject. :)

Here's a link for Meet the Masters, http://www.getinvolvedineducation.co...ram-Manual.pdf

People do that? Really? :tongue_smilie: Most of what we're currently using are on shelves and then I have many lovely cardboard boxes full of the others.

My 10 yo ds sounds very similar to yours, I don't know anything that would help, just letting you know you're not alone. I know how frustrating it can be. It helps me to remind myself that all children have their strengths and weaknesses, for my boy his weakness is spelling. I 've always been a natural speller, so its hard for me to understand, but we just keep pushing forward.

Our rate is somewhere around that number, as well. It really makes you wonder.

:iagree: It's sad, really. Here's to a great year!

:iagree:

:grouphug:Doran:grouphug: I can't think of anything to say that would make you feel better, but I wish you and your family the best.

How sweet! I bet that made your day. :)

I thought I was the only one who thinks like that.Nice to know it's normal, I was feelin' kinda weird about it. :001_smile:

Me, too. Thank goodness for the "edit" button, huh? :tongue_smilie:

Just reading that made me tired. Well at least it all ended well, huh? ;)

:grouphug: Mom to Aly:grouphug: That's just wrong on so many levels.

Best wishes and peace to you, mom. :grouphug:

I'm right there with ya, this is a scary election isn't it?

Best wishes to you, your dad and the rest of your family.

Yes and I should have mentioned some background info in my first post, that would have better clarified my comment. I did add that info in a seperate post. So :iagree:

You are assuming a lot of negative things about me. Did it ever occur to you to assume anything negative about the school? For further info, you can see my other post.

Ah, but this school wouldn't do anything like that because they don't teach geography in elementary school. My understanding is that what happens on all the other days at this school doesn't amount to much. I'm all for fun, age appropriate supplemental educational activities, too. :)

I agree, that would have been great!

Maybe I should have prefaced my original post with a little background info. This school is the school my dc would attend if they weren't homeschooled, it has never been on the front page of the newspaper for any reason. According to a teacher I know who frequents our store there are no children on the honor roll because none of their grades are at that level. This school is just barely meeting the acceptable minimum for the "no child left behind act", etc... So when I noticed it on the front page I was really expecting a story with a bit more to it, I was surprised that this is what got them on the front page, it just didn't seem front page newsworthy and so taken with the above mentioned info, is why I made the statement I did. As I stated it is one more reason, along with others that I didn't mention. I'm really surprised by how many of you seemed to have taken my post personally, that was not my intent as I have stated several times throughout this thread.

Great ideas, thanks, Mindy! :)

:lol: Yes, it is fun. :)

Sure! :) Thanks!
