We used Hewitt's Conceptual Physics for 9th grade. I believe the college one. My dd, not a science lover, did very well and enjoyed it more than she anticipated.

Many people we know use trac phones and buy different amount of minutes. You can get phones for 20 to 30 dollars. They have many options at Walmart. How many minutes depends on each individual's use. One of the phones comes with double minutes.

Many children are in school all day and have homework in the evening. It has to get done sometime. We have this problem as well because the kids did so well in elementary grades we could be involved in more things. I don't have youngers and am trying to reschedule. You can give it a try and see how it goes. It might be worth it to him to work hard and have the time off.

Guns were part of everyday living when I was a teen and there were accidents and almost accidents.

Her self esteem is really at issue here. You might need a wee bit o family counseling along the way. My dd finally quit a church group do to bullying by other girls. It was awful. She was accused of causing the bad treatment, not being forgiving... It took a good year of prayer and counsel to pull her together. To put up with abuse is just not ok! We are with you.

I believe he is still responsible for the PA's care. Could you insist he review your treatment from time to time?

:grouphug:

I can't help it but what comes to mind is empty boxes. :lol: Okay, now that I've amused myself I agree with a picture and a nice card.

I was a school nurse in an elementary school of about 350 children. It was very interesting watching the shy 4 and 5 year olds become 8 and 9 year olds. Most of them while not extroverted had a strong sense of self. Keep giving him support. :)

Children do things they are told not to do. Children do not go about turning things on and off, opening them etc like adults. Children have gotten into every fence put around a pool, managed to shoot guns that had a safety... Guns belong locked up and ammunition separated from the guns! My teens were in Alaska and many people had guns. I don't have to tell you the stories. :(

I was told not to wear my old glasses while getting used to the progressives. It took longer than I thought it should but like the above poster one day my eyes made the change.

Check out the nicer toy stores. We've been tucked away for so long I can't remember names.

My ds had a tooth knocked out when he was 4 and I'm sorry we didn't get a spacer. Hope all goes well for you.

Maybe everyone is still in line.:D

We've used Jacobs Algebra and Geometry. For the most part dd has been able to learn without much help from me. I did take a break and do a general math review in the middle of Algebra. (No, we don't do all of the problems.)

Our ds loves his gadgets. He can't live without his leatherman and a pocketknife.

Yea!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Nadia I hope you are feeling better soon! I get migraines and back pain so I feel for you! I don't know much about meningitis but short of that it sounds like it comes from your neck.

No. We get together with friends for a book study from time to time.

My dd 15 says cancel with the friends. We go by the policy at our house that if you can't be nice to your family you need to spend more time with them. :) Good luck! I know it's hard.

Whew!

24 hours and fever free for 24 hours. I don't think a sinus infection is that contagious unless she still has a goopy nose.

My ds can't stand to look at a page of math problems. He quite cheerfully takes the whole day thinking thoughts. :tongue_smilie: It goes better if he only looks at a couple of problems on a page. Sometimes I've even written them out for him. Sometimes I think I should have done math in short spurts twice a day but what a pain. It works best for him to do a problem. I check it and if it's wrong have him "fix" it. Not to worry this is still going on at 13. Yikes. Well it is a little better. He enjoys figuring things out but doesn't like to take the time to do basic math. You might not want to push things too far ahead until he really masters the basics with accuracy and speed. He has plenty of time to move on. Just a few thoughts as I look back on our math journey.
