I am a Christian and I have a legalistic background that I am slowly coming out of right now, so that colors my perceptions. I have been thinking a lot about this type of issue lately.
What it comes down to for me, is that many times conservative Christians take a standard or preference and make it a dogma. Within that, there is a judgment made about the other person. Usually that judgment is the idea that the other person is not Godly or holy enough because they do something or don't do something. And that is when they are comparing themselves to other Christians. Imagine the consequences when they are dealing with unbelievers! That attitude will certainly not win anyone to Christ.

I hate to sound like a broken record around here, but I would try All About Spelling and start at level one. It is not babyish but it would start him out "easy" while filling in the holes he may have in his learning.
My 8 yo is currently halfway thru the first level and I've been very pleased.

I don't know, I think in some ways, we're always scheduled. In college, the classes will be at set times. In the workforce, her boss will expect her to start work at a certain time.
On the other hand, it is valuable to learn how to budget one's time. I think for us, that will come in the form of having projects to complete and needing to do that efficiently.
I do know some hs families that give their high schoolers a schedule of work to be completed for the week and they do it at their own pace. I just don't know if I will ever do it that way.

I would just have her sit and I'd hold her. But we really didn't go out much then and the girl is a camel. She could hold it very well. :D

Yes, we take the day off on a birthday. :001_smile:

Sounds fantastic...I want to come to your school! :D

This year it's sort of open-ended for us. It depends what the subject is, too. They will all finish their math no matter how long it takes (prob into June). They will not finish LA and I'm ok with leaving it undone. They are doing something different next year for LA. They will finish history and science. My youngest will continue AAS and reading thru the summer. So, we're all over the place! :001_smile:

That is just heartbreaking. :grouphug:

I do 1-3 loads a day and that keeps things running smoothly. I just got a huge washer and dryer set that makes my life much easier. Are you able to do super large loads with your machine?

:grouphug: I don't have any first-hand experience with this, but you've gotten some great advice here. Why don't people control their dogs? :confused:

:grouphug: I am sorry. I hope you can get some (real) answers soon.

Oldest DS (6th grade) takes about 3-4 hours to complete his work. I expect the time may go up next year, but only by maybe an hour or so.

I voted "other". I don't give a hoot what other people name their babies. I may have an opinion about a particular name, but I wouldn't go so far as to agree with any of the statements in the poll.

I've been at this thing for over 8 years now. I no longer respond to such comments. I wait just long enough for the uncomfortable silence to creep in and then I change the subject.
:D
I usually agree with them that it is hard work, but that the payoff is worth it.
-
Thank you to all who responded. I am looking into the other tests mentioned. I think a largely oral test would be best.

Can't he do that CAT5 again, but have it adjusted for being in second grade?
Can you clarify what you mean? I could give him level 11, but it is still 1st grade, and he is in 2nd grade according to our reporting agency. If that will work, great! I just don't want him held back or anything.

I am trying to figure out how to test my youngest who is not reading yet. He is in 2nd grade. Last year he took the CAT/5 level 10, which is for a non-reader (1st grade). He has made progress this year and we have found some things since January that have really clicked, namely AAS and the I See Sam readers.
He needs to score 40% (composite) or better on the test. I have to use a national standardized test. Can I read the 2nd grade CAT to him? I wouldn't read the reading part, of course. Or what other test could I use that is oral? Would it be better to bring him to a testing center and if so, how do I go about finding one in my area?
TIA!!

Wow, there seems to be a fairly large gap between not believing in PH (I don't) and not liking America.(I do:))
Ayup.

Definitely sounds like an eating disorder. The child needs to be seen by a professional. Why the concern over "possible scrutiny"?
-
I agree with the others. TT has been worth every single penny.

I will be using Vol. 2 for my 7th grader next year. It looks very good and I think it is meaty enough. They give lots of info for beefing it up if you need to, as well.

Welcome! :001_smile:
All About Spelling would be worth a look. It is based on OG, too. We love it.

Well, if a fellow Christian told me that she won't read a certain book because of her convictions, that's one thing, but if she says "Christians shouldn't read this certain book", that's entirely another thing. Kwim?
