Ah hah! Now I can find it on Amazon. Release date of September 18th. So do I understand this correctly that this takes up where FLL leaves off? Grammar for the Well-trained Mind would be like level 5? Does anyone know?

Pardon if this has been discussed. I did a search but didn't find a discussion newer than Jan 2017. Has anyone heard when Advanced Language Lessons will be available for purchase? I checked Amazon and Peace Hill Press but nothing is there. Thanks! Jill

Fantastic! Thanks for the suggestions. (Just watched It's Okay to be Smart video about CRISPR) The link to the dear science doesn't work.

So my 10 year old and I just sat and watched 2 episodes back to back. Thanks for the recommendation!

What are your favorite science podcasts?

Isn't so interesting! A Wall Street Journal article is where I first read about Crispr. Podcasts are a great idea, too! Thank you!

Okay, now I have to look that up!

This is a class with 12 students. And I too love genetics and brain research topics...I'm trying to branch out from my own personal leanings. Thanks!

Ahh good idea. I'll keep an eye out in those publications.

So pleased. Finally have a course to follow with my LAST child...all four children before was trial and error for grammar... :)

I'm teaching a high school level Biology class this year, and there's so many areas that are fascinating and have real world, high tec applications right now (using Crispr to genetically modify organisms after a short training class is one I came upon in the Wall Street Journal.) I'm just trying to think outside the box (and the BORING textbook) to make biology really come alive for these kids. Thanks! Jill

Farrar-Yes. I would love to approach it from this angle and I have in past years. Unfortunately the timing of this change hit at a hard time (I coach varsity volleyball and our season is about to begin. And I'm starting from scratch since I had planned on enrolling him in the online school again.)

I have a 7th grader who is different than all my other kids have been. He thrives on peer interaction and outside accountability. He detests "traditional" school where he's required to read something and take a quiz or write a summary. He needs projects, discussion, something LIVING for his assignemnts. We have been fortunate to be part of some awesome part-time private schools that complement our homeschool and amazing online schools, but now the funding has run out and we are back to traditional homeschooling. He's not excited. I have been out of the curriculum hunt for several years now since our school has been so different, so I'm sure there's some great stuff out there I don't even know about. He enjoyed SOTW with it's interesting reading and then lots of project options. So please share what has been working for your hands on kids!

Thanks so much. I had no idea about generic Chalkdust!

Hi there, I'm trying to purchase a used copy of Chalkdust Basic Math (6th grade) and the seller has posted pictures of the DVD's. They don't have the typical Chalkdust cover on them, but instead have a cover that is exactly like the cover of the textbook. I asked the seller if these DVD's were put out by the textbook publisher and not Chalkdust (with Dana Mosley teaching) and the seller replied it is Dana Mosley but it is just an older edition (8th edition and not the current 9th edition on the website.) So my question is if anyone has experience with the older version of Chalkdust and if they did indeed sell their videos like that. Not a word of Chalkdust anywhere on them. The weird thing is that Chalkdust mentions the 7th edition on their website, but no mention of an 8th edition. Thank you! Jill
