Scholars Online. Great teacher - good sense of humor, works with the kids where they are, etc. The only issue I have with the course is there was no placement test and two (of the 4) students are constantly struggling, which slows the entire class. My dd does needlepoint, clears out her inbox, etc. during class. :glare:

Our little electric clocks didn't even work - they ran too fast! Heather, you can get transformers for your electric stuff, but they tend to be very heavy. I imagine the school has people coming and going all the time so you could probably buy electronic and electric items used from a student's family who is moving out the same time you are moving in. Most communities have American women's clubs which would be a great place to ask about this.

Help me choose which books to purchase for myself
readwithem replied to plain jane's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I would get just one Wilson book for now and see whether you like his style. I find him to be a bit dry so one book on my shelves is enough for me :) I have Recovering Lost tools. -
Has anyone visited/interviewed at Penn?
readwithem replied to Jane in NC's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
You might try Admissions advice, a calmer, gentler version of CC. Not all homeschoolers though. http://admissionsadvice.mywowbb.com/ -
Hi Jo! :) I'm sorry you are feeling lonely. We lived outside London for 2+ years and loved it. We visited Caernofon castel right after 9/11 - I remember the flags flying half staff. I suggest you join this yahoo group - it's free and you don't have to be using Sonlight to participate :) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sonlight-UK/

Do you live near the area where you grew up?
readwithem replied to Ellyndria's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I live about 600 miles from "home." I haven't lived there since a year after college. The only family left there is my mom. We still get with high school friends when we visit, but we're not nearly as close as we were 30+ years ago. -

So you're Scottish? I thought you might be ex-pats :) We're hoping to get to Scotland summer 2010, my dd does Highland dance and she finishes high school that year, it would be a fitting graduation present. :) -
Would you spend $65 to see

:iagree: That's where I thought the original question was heading :):) -
CollegePlus and Thomas Edison - diploma mill?
readwithem replied to a topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I know every experience is different, but when my dh's employer is hiring,they do look at where the candidate went to college. Not every employee is from a top 10 school, but they wouldn't hire from College Plus for professional jobs. -
Help! Dry, cracking hands....
readwithem replied to mom26's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't have anything to add - we've got the same problem so thank you for starting this thread :) I just wanted to give your sweet dd a hug and I hope her hands heal soon. -
This made me smile. I'm very grateful for the OLDER (not old,:glare:) children in my dd's life who love her unconditionally, speak the truth gently to her, and intentionally have developed a relationship with her outside of me. These women are truly living the gospel in my dd's life.

Anyone know a good way to teach kings & queens of England?
readwithem replied to mazakaal's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
How fun! We used to book a "schools visit" for next to nothing - maybe two pounds? Hope you enjoy your visit. :) -

We bought a ruler at Hampton Court Palace ;) -
Haven't looked for awhile but Michaels used to carry a very limited line. With a 40% off coupon, they were an even better deal:thumbup1:

Boo hoo - the sun hasn't made an appearance here all day, I doubt we'll see anything. :thumbdown: -
Gasp and choke. College tuition...
readwithem replied to Ria's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Your ds is my dd's twin! (oh wait, he already has a twin, right?) :) Throw in small classes and you've got her wish list. No way is she remotely interested in our state flagship (enrollment is nearly 50K) And congrats on his fabulous scholarships. -
Several of the (former) students at dd's dance class go to Southwestern and love it. It's a great LAC. Georgetown isn't far from Austin (about 30 minutes), still in the Hill Country. I wish I could convince dd to look at it but she's adamant about NOT going to college in TX (I guess the grass is always greener, sigh...)
