Small Christian Colleges with Classical Ballet Major
pmeilaen replied to pmeilaen's topic in The College Board
I think it is working well. She has made friends and is taking a class in Russian Literature this semester. All her other classes are dance related. She complained about a teacher (stage manager) teaching a stage practicum class. Apparently, he was not very organized, but that was last semester. She prefers Russian ballet (Vaganova) to American methods and Mercyhurst does not offer that. The professors seem to be very caring, though, and invest a lot in their students. They do get to do a lot of ballet, although she would probably prefer all her classes to be ballet, but she also has to -
I get a lot via Bookdepository and IBIS.

Yes, those two are wonderful. There is also "Das fliegende Klassenzimmer."

My daughter ended up at Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA. -
Here is a bit about German Bibles. There are differences between protestant and Catholic Bibles.

Major high school math mess up
pmeilaen replied to jeandh's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks for the tip. My daughter is about to finish Saxon Algebra 1 soon and wants to do Algebra 2, but I am sure she will never reach the Advanced Mathematics book because of her slow speed. -
Major high school math mess up

Did you use this? If so, how long did it take you to get through it? Is it helpful for the SAT in combination with Saxon Algebra 1 and 2? -
Lingua Mater (gr 7) and Lingua Mater Americana
pmeilaen replied to Mom27kidz's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I am using the first book in grade 7 with my daughter now. She likes it, but it is not so easy to grade. I have to read the texts/assignments carefully myself to be able to correct her work. -
No, she does not like science. She does not care so much about being good at something. She is good at art, she reads a lot, but still more or less children's literature, she likes to read the newspaper (sometimes), and loves to travel. Miquon Math was perfect for my two older children, who are very different. She also does not know what she wants to do after school so far.
