Thank you!

I would like to try a piece of wall art but not deal with a huge return hassle if it doesn't work out.
It doesn't have to be as painless as zappos, but not too much worse.

My rising 9th grader will be starting German with CLRC. The class meets for one hour twice per week.
We have no experience with CLRC.

I am so sorry. That sounds so difficult for you. I don't have any advice to offer. This does not sound like your fault.

This is 3.091 and does not cover typical freshman chem. That would be in department 5. I took a quick look at the ocw site and did not see any chemistry classes there that cover what you are looking for.
However, I think 3.091 is a great class, and the ocw version of it is with a fantastic professor. It is worthwhile in its own right.

I had the initials wrong in my original post.
Here is the link for Classical Learning Resource Center's German 1: http://clrconline.com/high-school-german-i/
Do you recommend any other online German course provider?
-
Does anyone have experience with the German offerings there? This would be the student's first German course.
Thank you!

Ooooo. Thank you! I see I don't have my Waltons straight at all.

I don't think the Corabeth character was a Walton. I think she was the snooty woman married to the storekeeper.

Do they look like blisters? That's how a pock starts.
I have never heard of chicken pox at this time of year.
My daughter's mother pock was on her upper arm, a couple inches below the axilla.

If that is where they are going, they might as well enjoy their high school years a bit more. :)
I have a student who doesn't want to go to college at all. I pay more attention to the content and skills offered by this student's education than to what the college-bound kids are getting. If high school is the end of the line, there is a lot to get done.

Once I sat in the front of the car for an overnight trip. I thought I would enjoy the extra space. However, I found sleep very difficult there due to the light that stays on all night near the front door and the traffic to the bathroom and out of the car. The next time I ended up at the back of the car. I thought the seat back would screen the light and noise, but the back was only a little better than the front. I think mid-car is better than either extremity.
I wore a zippered sweatshirt backwards with the hood over my face. It was cold in the train, and the hood worked better than a mask to keep the light out.

A week day. Two adults, two girls (very young teen, old teen), two boys (teens). Varied interests
We will be at Carnegie Hall in the evening and leaving the city right after the concert.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

In other words, vent away here. You are right to be unhappy about this. But try to turn this into a positive for you instead of a negative for her (since it almost certainly won't change the situation long term). Get her out of the equation.
Excellent, excellent perspective.
Sorry about the slap from your MIL.

I also would never have put my older 2 kids (ds's) into organized sports, for a variety of reasons. I corrected that with my younger 3 kids - never did organized anything, really.
Is there a reason for this that you could share?

Yes, he's local. Are you guys local? Not sure if he's logged into their 2020 facebook chat yet - I'll ask. <<
Looks like a banner year for Brandeis's admitting local homeschoolers.
When we arrived for our tour, we saw a homeschooler that we knew through my husband's work. We hear that he was admitted but is going elsewhere.
-
Do you mean pestering as in asking lots of questions because they are curious? Or pestering as in being a bully?
Between those; a disdainful tone as in "really?! how could that have been a good experience?" when she writes something positive, in a humble vein, such as "It's not for everyone, but I enjoyed it."
-
That's nice to hear. Is he local?
My daughter says one of her fellow incomings is pestering her about being homeschooled on Brandeis 2020 facebook chat.
My good friend's ds is also headed to Brandeis, homeschooled all the way through. :)

My daughter is happy to be heading to Brandeis University.
She is undecided about a major.
Brandeis was not on her original list, but I urged her to do the tour/interview routine at Brandeis--and Wellesley--last year. These are local schools and let her see two really different campus cultures at similarly selective schools and practice interviewing in low-stakes situations. She liked them both--Brandeis a lot more, though--and completed their applications.
She really likes the collaborative campus vibe, the exchange program with Korea University, the music opportunities on campus and in Boston and sees a place where she can continue activism she has been working on in high school. There is a high level of participation in debate--another one of my daughter's high school EC's--in the student body. In addition to a cousin alumna, my daughter knows other homeschoolers who have graduated from Brandeis and report very positive experiences.

The $400 is actually trivial compared to the cost differential between the two colleges, but it is out of her pocket. Her final choice is much more expensive than the big OOS U, and most of the different will come come from Mom and Dad, but we did allow her the choice.

My children weren't vaccinated for that and all had the disease at young ages.
Our neighborhood elementary school, where all of the children had been vaccinated, had a chicken pox outbreak a few years ago.
Also, close friend of my daughter got the pox (not immediately) after vaccination.
-
This is a fantasy of mine. I didn't know anyone actually made it happen.
-
My daughter was admitted by ten--eleven?--colleges.
She said yes to the big OOS state school on time but just started notifying the other schools yesterday.
Meanwhile she received an email from the school she is having remorse over rejecting--and only that school--asking her to please confirm that she is not accepting their offer.
So, she called and they gave her til midnight to accept, which she did do.
She is so happy and more relaxed than any time in the last n months, where n takes us back to application time.
However, she is out $400.
