My niece is going to University of Scranton in Scranton, PA - 2 hrs north of Philadelphia. It is a small university but its business school is good and my niece loves the school She is a pre-med student. The business school has its own building.

Wonderful! Thank you! I did sent an e-mail to the teacher and did get the same response, using tablet mostly for classroom purposes. I have been sending many e-mails to the teachers and chat room and I must they all very responsive pretty quickly. I had a question on one of the college English class and the teacher thoroughly described her class and the amount of the assignments that was expected for the year. I am quite impressed with their responses.

I was wondering if anybody has taken the TPS math class? I am trying to find out how was the tablet and pen... "TPS requires pen input tablets in all of its math courses, and optionally in other courses. The Intuous Draw is currently the most affordable model in the line, but any of the Intuous models will work. Other companies make acceptable pen tablets as well, with Wacom being the safest choice." We are used to the paper and pencil and scan the document for grading. We are looking at the Calc AB course that requires it. My ds is worried that the Stylus pen will be too bulky and the writing too squiggly. Any experiences?

Bibsandmegs - I want my son to do TPS english and I am cringing about "the placement test" but reading your story is making me just bite the bullet and have him do the placement test. It's either TPS placement test OR DE placement for English 101......That and I just read their slide about "Is TPS for you?" That just wants me to do it, too!

Hello, I am thinking of using HS MAth LIVE, LAR did you go with Regina???

I am looking at the calculus math class.....Anybody have the math teacher for any of the math classes???

Also, King's College (Catholic) in Wilkes-Barre, about 1.5 hrs north of Philly. It is another college we are looking into, as well.

We went to University of Scranton in Scranton, PA (Catholic University) last week. My niece is there and my son wants to study Theology and Physics. We ALL loved it! PM if you want more specifics or any questions. I also had an interview with an admissions counselors. This is definitely doable school. You don't need DE/AP or anything like that. I asked about course description and she was "I don't think so, but hold on to them and if we need it, we will ask for them." My niece was telling us how safe it is at the school for her and how very welcoming it is. Light housekeeping in the dorms for 2 years! (Bathrooms washed, they will vaccuum dorm room and take out trash!) The university is about 2 hrs north of Philly. It fits everything you want AND she has the potential to get either Presidential Scholarship (Full 4 yrs) or the 50% tuition paid for 4 yrs.

I can't believe it....11th grade!!! For next year: Calculus - High School Math LIVE Physics - Homeschool Connections Foreign lang Honors English - Excelsior - Dual Enrollment ENG 101 American History - homemade Creative Novel II Finally, was able to figure it all out now.

oh ok, the Morning Message page on the website got me confused.....It said "asynchronous class" I got confused when she started to talk about her daily morning messages after that word😵. Thanks for the clarification....I am excited AGIAN! :)

I was excited but this isn't a LIVE class that meet weekly is it? I need a live class that meets weekly.....

Ok I am looking for an Online LIVE class for physics. Any recommendations?

We recommend Mrs. Nowell, as well!

I was hoping I did not have to pre-read but I guess those days are gone! SLAN looks promising but I think I need to pre-read, too. Thank you! Atleast I have some authors to check out.

Not all of Heinlein's book. I stuck with his younger audience or juvinile series. Isaac Asimov, he read the juvinile series but he did read I, Robot and Foundation Series. Does Asimove talks about s*x in his novels? I thought they were relatively benign?? I thought I was safe if a sci-fi book written before 1954-ish....

I was wondering if there were other kids who love to read science fiction novels? I am in need of more suggestions..... What he has read so far: Everything from Isaac Asimov Author - Robert Heinlein books author - C.S. Lewis (space trilogy) WONDLA Trilogy by Tony DiTerlizza H.G. Wells I want to make sure it is Young Adult status type of book, no s*x content.....

Thank you!

Help! The following is requested from a University for Dual Enrollment: a statement from a teacher, counselor, or principal in support of the student's enrollment at University Is this a one line statement OR a 1 paragraph or more???? I have no idea what to write. Anybody with experience with dual enrollment counselor letters?

Yes, that is the book. The site doesn't have videos. I saw the site. I am going to check out Study.com now. Thanks!

Ms Jann's site has a teacher teaching Live Pre-calc class at http://myhomeschoolmathclass.com/index.html We like her! She fits us very well.

Does anybody know if there are videos to go along for Pearson Chemistry?

I grew up in Philly so I am familiar what type of school Villanova is. I was very surprised to hear this from the mom. She got the info from a current student. My SIL went to St. Joseph's in Philly area and in her freshman year she had a cot in the cafeteria. My jaw dropped when the mom told me that about Villanova because it is a selective school. I really thought they stopped putting students in the cafeteria many years ago. Of course, that was like 4-5 yrs ago. My other homeschooling friend has a niece at another Pennsylvania school, when the school excepted too many freshman girls, the school did not have room for them (the niece) ended up in the boys dorm. That is a small school.

Thanks!! I needed this hack! I'm sick and tired of hard boiled eggs at hotel breakfasts.

Yes, I got this call years ago!! It's still around? You can report them to IRS website.

Having going through this with my mom, and knowing the injuries, your MIL is going to rehab first. From rehab, after she is walking again, then social workers will direct to nursing homes. They are separate places probably insurance driven. My mom was hospitalized for possible stroke/mild heart attack. After the hospital, she went to rehab to walk, at the same time developed a very deep bed sore. The rehab could not keep her for the bedsore, but still needed bandages changed daily and she was not swallowing, so she was tube feed temporarily. She was sent to a nursing home, until the bed sore completely heals, she walks on her own (they have been difficulties with this) and was able to eat and swallow foods again. She is doing better now that the social worker is talking about when she is able to walk to the dining rm and dress herself, go to the bathroom herself, to maybe move her to another floor of the nursing home, where more patients are self-sufficient but still need to take meds and have blood pressure taken, etc.
