Oh Jenny I am so sorry. If it were me I would call the police and have him arrested. I know that sounds harsh, but that would get him into court ordered counseling and teach him that he can NEVER put his hands on you.
I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly. This is really serious. For his sake, and for the sake of any women in his future, please get him the help that he needs.
I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I can imagine how heavy your heart must be tonight. :grouphug:

Absolutely!!

OK, what is this one from?
It's from an episode of The Twilight Zone. :001_smile:
And here's an amusing bonus:

<<Just as he bends down to pick up the first book, he stumbles, and his glasses fall off and shatter. In shock, he picks up the broken remains of the glasses he is virtually blind without, and says, "That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I needed...! That's not fair!", and bursts into tears, surrounded by books he now can never read.>>

Hey Anj!! :seeya: Long time no see!!!!!!! I didn't realize you were a TOG user. We're starting our journey with Y1 in the fall and can't wait. :party:
Hi Jane!! :D Yes, we're going back to Egypt this fall! :auto:

Have you looked at the book replacements at this link? It looks like they go back as far as books going out of print in 2006.
Yes, but thanks for trying. I think that those books must be the replacements for the replacements. :001_smile:

I don't know Anj, but definitely in that northeast corridor!

Yay, Jeri! Any idea which state? Hint-Hint!

Is there anyone here who has an older copy of TOG, Year 1? I'm trying to figure out which of my old books can be used again, as I suspect that some of them are no longer in print and have been replaced. I'd prefer to use the old ones that I already have, if possible.
(In case you're wondering, I owned Y1 before the digital version was released. I sold my old print copy because I knew I'd want the digital version. Now I've come full circle. When I purchased Y1 for the second time, I bought the digital/print combo.)
Thanks!

Karen, I know. You, Stephanie M., and Alison were three of the people whose absence I regretted most.

:iagree::iagree::iagree:
I agree, too. This really felt like a professional in-service. They spoke to us as if we were intelligent people. There are some speakers who treat these types of workshops like pep rallies or something. I wasn't looking for rah-rah, I was looking for practical information and a sharing of knowledge. I was not disappointed in the least.

Opinions on the new literature guide?
First off, I've really enjoyed reading the responses from others who attended the conference. I would like to respond to each one, but time does not permit right now. Nevertheless, yeah. Yup. I know. Absolutely. :D
Now, about the new literature guide: I was very intrigued by it, so I bought it. I like the idea of having prompts throughout the book to remind us of poetics and to have succinct definitions of some of the vocabulary words. I'm especially excited about including The Wind in the Willows, because my two younger children attempted to read it this year, and both gave up in despair. I think that this will be a gentler approach, because I really want them to read this book.
I have to run out right now, but later I can look at my notes to tell you more.

...you should be kicking yourself right now!
It was really fabulous. I am so glad that I was able to be there and to glean so much knowledge from two people who have really helped me to shape my vision for homeschooling. SWB was great, it was such a pleasure to hear her speak. She may not feel like talking again for another week, but she shared such a wealth of information with us! MCT was just amazing. Now I completely understand why he can't be videotaped. You have to see him in person to get the full effect of his presentations.
And last (but by no means least), it was so great to be able to meet a number of WTMers, especially some like Cleo and OsmosisMom with whom I go waaaaaay back on these boards!
If they ever do a conference like this again, do not hesitate to register. In fact, make your cousin reschedule her wedding or let your family eat beans for a month or skip your local convention...whatever it takes!
And a special thanks to our own Capt_Uhura, for all of your hard work. We are all so grateful for your efforts! :grouphug:

What an awesome conference!! I am still just floating and thinking about all that I learned. It was great to meet so many of you, and just to be with a group of people who understand why it's important to teach grammar, LOL!
I had to pull some strings to attend this conference, but it was completely worth it! Thanks, everyone, especially Captain Uhura and SWB for bringing an idea to fruition! :001_smile: :grouphug:

Okay, there's a 24-hour Dunkin' Donuts.

There's a place called The Steel City Coffeehouse, and it's only five minutes from campus. Sounds like a plan!
Wait a minute! They don't open until 8am!!! What is that all about? Okay, back to the grindstone!!

This is the first time that RFWP has done anything like this. I really think that they are a very small company that operates with a skeleton crew. For instance, Dr. K and his wife are the reps who came to our homeschool convention both last year and this year. And incidentally, that convention was held this past weekend. So I'm thinking that they bit off quite a bit with this conference, and this is their busy time of year (filling orders, going to other conferences, etc.)
I'm looking at this as teacher in-service training: small, cozy, casual. And I am really excited about going there and soaking up all of the wisdom!! :)

Aren't you all planning to wear denim jumpers?

Hey Anj, did you see all of the discussion here?
http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/group.php?groupid=144
Just in case you're interested :D
Yes, I just found out about this group today. I haven't looked at everything yet, though. I'll have to read through some of the posts. :)
X-post: Homeschooling High School against student's wishes?
in General Education Discussion Board
Posted
Hi All,
I'm posting this question on behalf of a friend. (No, really!)
She homeschools her K and 4th grade kids, but her 8th grader attends to a Christian school that only goes through 8th grade. They are now in trying to plan for next year.
Her son is truly an advanced student, and definitely needs to be challenged academically. He is in the process of applying to a few area private high schools, but will need a pretty significant scholarship to be able to attend. They haven't totally ruled out the public high school, but among other issues, it really isn't a great school.
My friend would like to homeschool him, offering opportunities for advanced online courses and eventually he would be able to take college-level classes. He is not at all interested in being homeschooled.
So now (in the event that the scholarship doesn't pan out) his parents are trying to decide whether they should just say "Look, we've considered all of the options, we think that this one is best." and let him deal with it, or if they should let him go to the public high school and deal with the accompanying issues.
Do you know of anyone who has brought an unwilling teen home for high school? How did it work out?
Thanks! :001_smile:
