II may be wrong, but my impression was that the $250 is a flat rate, no matter how many children use it?

The Ron Paul Homeschool curriculum is being launched. Dr. Tom Woods and Dr. Gary North are heavily involved in it. It will be free from K-5, and something like $250 a year after that. Supposedly it will cover everything the students will need to learn (science, math, phonics, etc). More info at www.RonPaulcurriculum.com Obviously this won't appeal to everyone, but I figured I would share the info.

My daughter sees odd things in her mind...

She explained to me tonight that the thickness of the lines for the different songs corresponded to how "old" each song was (ie, how long she had known the song). -

Thanks everyone. I had no idea so many people experience some form of synesthesia. However, after reading a bit about it, it still doesn't seem to be what DD6 is experiencing. She doesn't seem to be blending or crossing or whatever two or more senses that I can tell... Am I just missing something? -

I saw synesthesia, but she doesn't seem to associate sounds or letters with certain colors. More like, when she thinks of things to choose between them, her mind makes some kind of colorful graph or chart that she bases her decision/preference on. She will say things like, "I know I like X more, because the line is thicker/brighter/longer/a certain color." Edit: for what it is worth, she is an artsy girl. -
We like the ESV Grow Bible, and it would probably be good for an 8 year old. For a 12 year old, I would probably be recommend with the ESV Student Study Bible. http://www.amazon.com/ESV-Grow-Bible-Esv/dp/1433528746 http://www.amazon.com/Student-Study-Bible-Bibles-Crossway/dp/1433523043

A few months ago we were on a beach at night, before we left Hawaii. I showed DD6 the ocean, the city skyline, the trees blowing in the wind on the sand, and the stars. I asked her which was her favorite, She paused a second and said that the buildings (skyline) were her favorite. I asked her why, or how she was able to answer so quickly. She replied that in her mind, she associated the buildings with a bright green line, and the other views had shorter lines, that weren't as bright, or were different colors. So, she knew that she preferred the skyline. Since then, there have been several times where she has described similar things. She and I had visited two different churches, and I asked her which one she liked better. She pondered for a moment, then picked one, explaining how it showed up differently in her mind (a rising green line vs a flat red line, I think). Then tonight, she mentioned three songs she likes, and that in her mind Song A has a fat pink line, Song B has a medium brown line, and Song C has a thin brownish-gray line. Has anyone else heard anything like this before? My Google skills are not having any success.

Another term you may have heard for "God-given rights" is "Natural Rights" -

Just for fun: what famous person do you resemble?
tntgoodwin replied to unsinkable's topic in The Chat Board
Your half-sister is Keira Knightley?? :tongue_smilie: I have been told a little like Jeremy Piven, a little like Ryan Gosling, and little like Nathan Fillion.... I don't see any of them though. -
