Influencing a teen daughter not to cut her hair
Nature replied to Ginevra's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think that is great that she wants to give her hair to Locks of Love and I would let her cut her hair. Many girls do have short haircuts that look nice. If she doesn’t like it, she can always grow it out. I don’t necessarily believe that teens should be able to get any type of haircut, but a short could would be ok (in my opinion). I’d probably draw the line at a Mohawk or coloring it bright pink.- 188 replies

Awhile ago, my husband was diagnosed with a serious, rare type of cancer. There are no treatment options other than a bone marrow transplant, which he will need asap. He hasn’t been able to work for along time and financially, it is a struggle. I’ve hesitated posting because my husband is such a private person, but I need support. We need help with fundraising and I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve looked into some options, but with taking care of everyone and everything, I have little energy left over. Has anyone here been through this?

Homeschool Etiquette Dilemmas
Nature replied to funmamacita's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Several come to mind. The most frequent is “What about socialization?†and “How will they ever survive in the real world?†One time I had an acquaintance ask me if I could watch her child who was too sick to go to school. She said her job is really important and she can’t afford to take another day off. She said I was the logical choice since I’m home anyway. In another instance a family member asked my why I would want to “ruin my child†by homeschooling. -
The Great Courses, Mental Math deal....

Have you watched your Mental Math DVD’s yet? If so, I’m wondering what you think of them because I’m thinking about buying them also. Did you buy the transcript book too? -

Who are your favorite FEMALE authors?
Nature replied to JessMcG's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Sara Donati – Wilderness Series – historical fiction – starts in the late 1700’s. Jodi Picoult – Some of my favorite books of hers – Handle with Care, Plain Truth, My Sister’s Keeper (so much better than the movie), House Rules Jane Kirkpatrick -
I agree- those expectations are not reasonable. I don't have as many kids as you and no younger kids. I might have been caught up with laundry a year or so ago, but it's an ongoing battle. For me and my husband, homeschooling is a priority and cleaning is not. He does like to have dinner every evening, but I'm lucky if I make something four times a week. Having young children and homeschooling is much more than one full-time job. If a clean house and dinner are important to him, he should hire someone to help you or he should help out more.

I've never had holes in my shirt, but a friend of mine always did. She said she kept getting her shirt cut in her zipper. -

Questions about anemia
Nature replied to TravelingChris's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My husband has had chronic anemia for many years. Beets are known for helping to increase hemoglobin so my husband has beet juice every day. In addition to meat and dark green leafy veggies, kidney and pinto beans are high in iron. I am surprised that she was referred to a cardiologist instead of a hematologist. In can take quite awhile to feel better, so tell her to hang in there. -

Talk to me about workboxes and your special needs student.
Nature replied to rafiki's topic in The Learning Challenges Board
We did use the workbox system for a while and it worked great. We used two rolling carts with clear drawers instead of boxes on a shelf. What we liked best about it was: • Short assignments (each box took about 15-20 min. to do) • Encouraged independence • Expectations for the day were set and I wasn’t saying, “now do this.†• My ds liked getting up to get the new box, so he didn’t have to sit so much. -
Frustrated by yet another misconception
Nature replied to wy_kid_wrangler04's topic in The Learning Challenges Board
So sorry you had to experience that. I’ve had many similar situations with my ds. The public is not educated enough about special needs. I just wish they would ask about our particular child instead of jumping to incorrect conclusions.
