Do you have suggestions for the best high school health text/book to use for a semester length course? Thank you!
-
did your ds/dd have to take at least one class that year to be eligible for scholarships? I just heard this from someone, and it sounds right. -
Thanks, I will ask about the doubling-up. They say nothing on their site about SAT subject tests, but I know they take up to 32 credits with CLEP. I just wasn't clear as to why one would do the SAT subject tests. What is the advantage if you pass the CLEP tests of the same subject. Doesn't CLEP show that the child actually knows the subject matter and didn't just get a pass from mom?

We are pretty sure we are going to do a gap year after high school. If so, when should my ds take his SAT? Can he take it after his senior year?
-
Is it worth it to take the subject tests for SAT also? We are planning to take as many CLEP tests as possible.

I just saw your message from Aug 31st. I haven't been on! I'm so sorry about your broken foot. You, right? or is it one of your kids? I hope you are doing much better. I understand about all that must be going. It feels good to be able to be flexible with school when life is that way. How are the plans coming for the wedding? Is it proving to be an enjoyable process for her and you all?

Happy First day of school. We are starting later this year. Too much wedding, broken foot and children moving across the country, in our life, this year to have it together already.

Hi Cheryl, I'm doing well, thanks. We have had a good summer. I am presently planning history and have a few more subjects to do before we start on Monday (31st). When will you all be starting?
-
Hi, How are you? How's your summer? This summer has been pretty packed so far for us...just stopping by to say hi!
-
Congratulations to your daughter and family, Cheryl. What a story about her dress/designer! That is so wonderful. Have they set a date? Are you having fun thinking through all the plans? Has she decided on colors?
I have posted some new photos of recent cakes in my portfolio on line: cakeartbycathy.blogspot.com
If you still need a cake artist, just let me know. I'd love to serve you and your family.
Are you all off for the summer? or do you do year-around? We are thoroughly enjoying being off-schedule, however I can't believe how much is on our calendar for the rest of the summer....always goes by so fast.
I enjoyed getting into Drawing With Children more in depth. I appreciate your tip on using good-quality colored pencils; I think we will do that.
Have a wonderful time planning!
Kind regards,
Cathy

Well she got engaged on Friday...I am already feeling like the snowball has left the hill and we are starting to roll at an uncontrollable speed. She is a nurse and one of her patients the day after engagement is a very-famous dress designer. He said, "you are beautiful, I want to design your dress." She has been in pageants and the woman that did all of our alterations for her dresses is the same one he uses. I am pretty blown away. :)

I can't really speak to the other factors, but I definitely understand your concerns. The thing I will share is that my ds seemed intelligent, but always was very slow with his work too. He needed my assistance & supervision much more than was normal. We finally got him tested and found he was struggling with auditory processing disorder. I had no idea how much this affected his whole person until we started seeing incredible improvement in school work and his personality after the ed therapy. There is so much to it that I cannot go into it here (PM me if you want to talk more), but at the foundation was a disorientation that kept him feeling "lost" in a world of sounds and instructions. I mention this not to alarm you or worry you, but just to share in case there may be more going on than what meets the eye. When you describe your frustrations, they sound very familiar to my own for years. Our guy was very mature, sharp and got excellent grades, so it was hard in some ways to believe he was struggling. But the other indications finally drove us to get him tested, and now I can't express to you our gratitude that we were lead to this educational therapy he received b/c it literally changed his life. God bless you and your efforts to figure this all out.

Transcripts of successfully admitted students?

I love this idea. Thank you! -
Best logic curriculum?
Cathy in SoCal replied to Faithr's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We used Canon Press with Nance and have been very pleased. I especially appreciate the supplementary DVDs, which allowed my ds to learn from Nance--took more off my plate and allowed me to learn with him. The DVDs were expensive, but well worth it. -
That is so fantastic! Hoooraaahhhh!
