  1. My daughter needed to work orally for awhile too. You can assign each discussion time a certain number of points and then grade based on his willingness to participate in the discussion and how well he seemed to know the subject matter. It is still pretty subjective, but at least you can choose how much weight the discussions should have in the total grade. I feel rather strongly that daily work should be worth something - especially for kids who find testing difficult. Happy teaching! :bigear:
  2. My dd - now entering college - couldn't do Saxon Math at all in Grammar school. Math U See was a PERFECT fit! But by 8th grade, she was doing Algebra I in ... Saxon Math! Puberty especially seems to bring on major brain reconfiguring, so wait awhile and see. Good luck!:iagree:
  3. Hey! My status just "upgraded" from "Just Visiting" to ... um... something else... :blushing: Anyway - guess that must mean it has to do with number of posts. Thanks all! :D
  4. That's okay -- I'm well-acquainted with peri-menopausal brain! :) Thanks for the info though -- I'll keep an eye on my status and see what happens.
  5. Um... I've been on and off this site for some time. Do I need to do something to request an account?
  6. Aha -- Thank you all for the info - that makes perfect sense! I grew up in a small community, and despite living in a bit bigger city now, I tend to forget how careful people must be. (including me.. :S) :tongue_smilie: Two more questions occur to me now. 1 - When I look at my messages, it lists me as "Just Visiting". What does that mean? How does it change? 2 - There is always the option to "Reply to Thread" and a "Quick Reply" option at the bottom of each post. What's the difference? Thanks again for the advice. It brings home to me anew the privilege we enjoy in America of often being able to trust total strangers - whether it be on Ebay, or a forum like this, or just out and about. It really is quite unique in the world! Peace, Judy :seeya:
  7. Hi - I'm relatively new to this forum. I've only used it to look for curriculum to buy so far (and ask questions about that!). Some users update their listings with "sold" when items are gone, but probably not all. I've recently expressed interest in several items from different sellers. I have generally posted a reply, as well as sending a PM (unless they requested one or the other). I haven't gotten an answer from anyone. So I begin to wonder if I'm doing something wrong. :confused: Do people just ignore "buying interest" messages if the item is already sold? If so, how long do I wait before moving on to find another possibility? I don't want to express interest to 10 people and then have to go back on 9 of those, but neither do I want to take a month to order one curriculum item because I'm not getting answers. Does anyone have info or advice for me? :bigear: Thank you! :001_smile:
  8. Hi - Just wondering if you're still out there somewhere... I'm wondering if you've long ago sold the slide set you listed and I should move on to another source... Hope all is well
