My 11th grade son has been struggling through Algebra I for 3 years. I’ve tried different curriculum and a tutor. I am not sure what to do as our state requires Algebra 1, 2, Geometry, and 1 other math to graduate. He does well with Geometry. Any advice?

Seconding Power Basics and also suggesting the Key to Algebra series. Similar set up. It's hard to tell from your post if the issue is a lack of continuous, regular, thorough instruction or maybe an issue of organization for him or you, or an issue of a struggle with the material - or maybe all of those. If he has had really regular access to someone helping him and has been working on it for that whole time, I would say it's time to consider seeking a diagnosis for a learning disability. Long term, even later in life, it may be something that is useful for him.

What is the really sweet math curriculum you used in early elementary? I remember you talking about it on a thread years ago. I think it had a color name in the title (maybe?). I have a friend who might homeschool K and I am helping her pick curriculum.

Hi Farrar,
We have so much in common: I love cats, we have twins and I at least wish I lived in DC. 🙂
I'm wondering if I can ask you for a favor and if you're slammed right now, I totally understand if you need to say no. I'm a travel writer and in a nutshell: wrote an e-book that will go onto my website that's called SAVE: 30 Deep Dive, Actionable Ways to Save Bucks on Your Next Family Trip.
My website -- JellyfishinJuly.com -- is about creating a safer, saner, cheaper trip when traveling with kids. Yes, I know I need a better elevator pitch!
My bottom line is that I don't have the money to pay an editor. I was wondering if. . . you're interested in the topic. . . whether you'd read the copy and give me feedback on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Dh and the kids got tired of reading my stuff years ago. 🙄
Anyway, if you have too much going on -- I really understand!!

My 14yo told me I sound mad in my texts to her. Apparently putting periods at the ends of my sentences makes me sound mad.

No, DS9, Sudden Onset Math-Induced Fatigue is not an actual condition.

I always give up most of my social media for Lent, but with the election, I finally got fed up with Facebook, so for the tail end of Lent, I'm giving up Facebook and hanging out in this lovely, civil, election free social media zone with all of you wonderful people instead. Sanity now, please.

Usually I like FB. It's low commitment, which is why I stay on. I have some online friends on there and do a couple of groups, but mostly it's a lot of high school and college friends and family so that's nice. It's just gotten so weird over there. First time ever for me getting really fed up with FB and politics. I've been through many election cycles without it getting to me. The world has clearly changed though.

Hey, guys, I took a forum break and then came back. I just can't quit y'all, I guess.

How is it that my kids are only just now hearing "I'm a Lumberjack" for the first time? I'm a bad parent.

I believe in the restorative power of popcorn. Four minutes and less than a dollar for a new kid.

If someone gave your 3-year-old a harmonica, would you consider that an act of aggression?

The owl pellet dissection kit we got from Home Science Tools has a choking hazard warning. Ew.

Whine. I don't feel like teaching co-op tomorrow.
