Also, take a look at the Harding family from Alabama. Their older children started college at age 12.

I don't know anything about nuclear engineering, but you might try contacting the Robinson family (No flames or uproar, please.) At least three of the Robinson children are working on doctorates in nuclear engineering.

I missed this as well. So glad to hear that the treatments are finished. Praying for positive outcome for you!!!

You have gotten some great ideas and humor - TU Kareni & Swimmermom!! Honestly, high school can seem like such a slog at times. Ever though you might be on your way by now, I thought I would add a few ideas. Think of it this way. You have three months left of school. What works for three months? This might be just the right time to do a research paper. Use SWB's instructions for this. Let your son choose the topic. That would probably be enough serious writing. Then, you could have your son pick two or three books that interest him, and do something other than analysis with them. Look in the back of TWJ for ideas. Also, this might be a good time to work on college application essays. Or, if any writing beyond the research paper is just too much, help your son put together a book list that interests him and just let him read. Whatever you decide, collect it and what you have done so far, and call it good. Start planning next year.

Adventures in Philosophy (?) Smarr Publishers also has a philosophy course.

I would not go with lucky for Lukeion. They are too popular. We have always signed up for both semesters.

Wes Calihan and Roman Roads Media has Greek literature shipping and Roman literature shipping this summer. Not online, but it looks good. Mr. Calihan also has online classes.

Agreeing with the suggestion about A Midsummer Night's... Take a look at Ken Ludwig's book "How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare" as a teaching resource.

Take a look at Lessons for the Young Economist. You can get the student and teacher texts free as pdf downloads. The free teacher text does not have answers to the tests, but the version with answers isn't expensive.

We used AG for 8th and 9th. I wanted to finish it before high school, so dd could have 4 years of Latin, but it didn't work out. She will be doing three years of Latin for high school but wants to go further after high school. We don't do any grammar now that AG is finished. If you can do AG before high school, that is the route to go imo.

We could not do blocking for our rigorous classes - math, science, Latin, English. Since the work requires more focus and brain power, the amount of time dd spends; i.e. 1 plus hours, is enough. I can see blocking for some electives, which we have done in the summer, but I think it would be difficult during the school year because of the time needed to master material in core courses and everything going on.

The pounding makes the chicken breast cutlet thinness. Cut into as many pieces as you want. I buy chicken breasts at Fresh Market - two breasts attached at the center. I buy several of these at a time. I lay them on plastic wrap, pound them, cut them into the number of pieces I want; i.e. 4 for 2 breasts. Then, I put the 4 pieces into a square Ziplock container and freeze. Fifteen minutes to prep 3 or 4 containers. No chilling required.

Pound between pieces of plastic wrap for even thickness, which makes it easier to slice. Depending on what I am doing with it, I sometimes cook the pounded chicken and slice afterwards.

For the first time, we have a dark kitchen -- dark, almost black, cabinets, gray/black granite counters, gray/black tile, not like slate, but rustic. It shows no dirt. We have stainless appliances. Everyone says it's gorgeous and looks like a magazine kitchen. I would not have chosen any of it, but I agree. Just lovely. Elegant but not cold.

Since you seem to be interested in classical writing curriculum, you might consider Classical Composition, all levels but quick run though Fable and Narrative, for 9th and 10th, followed by rhetoric for 11th, with AP Literature for the senior year. Or, you could do LTOW 1 & 2 for 9th and 10th, rhetoric for 11th, and AP Lit for 12th. Fwiw, writing is difficult to plan years in advance. Sometimes you just need to begin with something, and see where it leads.

For the student and teacher, who want or need a curriculum, check out The Write Foundation. It has three levels -- Level 2 and Level 3 are suitable for high school. Those two levels cover various types of paragraphs and essays, style, and beginning poetry. TWF includes lots of concrete tools for students who need that -- highlighting, graphic organizers for brainstorming, and outlining.

We have moved on to other math, but we are reviewing Algebra I with MUS because I knew that last dc didn't understand the concepts even with high grades in an Algebra I course. MUS doesn't usually get high marks on this board because it isn't as rigorous as other curriculum, but it has been a good fit for us. Fwiw, it was definitely a good idea to review Algebra I, and I can see the lightbulb coming on -- so exciting to see this. Your idea to use an algebra-based physics course as way to practice Algebra isn't off target imho. I had been thinking the same thing and found Novare Science and Math. I talked with one of the owners of the company, and he suggested their Introductory Physics course as a way to get a good Algebra workout. Also, the math sequence you describe is definitely enough for a business major, and yes, in our experience, Business Calc wasn't that difficult but pre-calc was required.

Working through Algebra I and Geometry. Writing all of dd's writing assignments. Beginning to study economics. Planning to work on introductory physics (algebra based) as soon as I can order it.

Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum

So wonderful! Congratulations!!

Saute beef strips, then add sugar snap peas, sliced mini peppers, apple slices, cole slaw mix and Asian dressing. Yum!! Sautéed cabbage and apple slices with a bit of cider vinegar and honey. Add chopped apples, celery and toasted walnuts to regular slaw dressed with mayo for Waldorf Slaw. Add shredded carrots, raisins, diced pineapple and chives to cole slaw mix. Dress with mayo/sour cream/lemon juice/sugar. Add sliced mini papers, sliced grape tomatoes. Dress with mayo, salt and pepper. Ok, some of these are slaw. I had to add them because they are so good.

Colleen, I just love this. What a wonderful story of patience and faithfulness to inspire all of us.

What is EFC? With first two dc, paying for college wasn't a headache because we lived in state that offered a state scholarship based on ACT score. That scholarship combined with scholarships offered by the universities was enough to cover everything. Different story for last dc.

We are using Redwagon Tutorials (recorded lectures w/study notes, tests, syllabus) with Apologia textbook for biology. Dd really likes the lectures and says they help her understand the material. She is working completely on her own.
