Thanks! Your response was very helpful! I just got the letter today and was wondering if I should fill it out. I guess I should take the chance. She turns 18 this summer, but does not have all the credits she needs. 😩

Does anyone here have experience requesting their child’s Social Security survivors benefits to continue after 18? Everything I read sounds like it’s hit or miss for homeschoolers. I was curious if anyone had experience. Also, when it’s discontinued, how does that affect the amount our family receives?
Thanks!

I’m wondering if there exists a government course that is Christian, but not overly conservative? Every one I’ve looked at is extremely conservative, and my daughter is not. I feel like it’s one subject I’d like to have God included in, but I also want a program that is politically neutral or even left leaning. Does such a thing exist? A tall order, I know. 😂

Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.”
I read that article like 5 times trying to find that information. Apparently I need to get my ADD checked out. 🙄. This is exactly why I generally avoid online discussions like this...and usually stick to the k-8 or general homeschool page. 😉-

So why would he bother clearing out places that need it just to send it to someone else's door, if he's not making money from it?
According to the numbers he stated, he was making a small profit from each sale ($4). I assume everything I buy online is marked up many times before it gets to me, as a consumer, so a $2 item with a $4 profit doesn’t sound ridiculous.I do think he’s a jerk for leaving people without resources—I’m not praising his actions at all. But everyone is saying he sold them for $70, and I don’t see that anywhere in the article. In his own mind, he is reselling the item for a small profit, and I’m questioning whether this fits the legal definition of price gouging. Either way, I think he is in the wrong from a moral standpoint.

$70 for a bottle of hand sanitizer isn't a huge profit? what do you consider a huge profit?
This is the part I was thinking of:Mr. Colvin does not believe he was price gouging. While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each, he said people forget that his price includes his labor, Amazon’s fees and about $10 in shipping. (Alcohol-based sanitizer is pricey to ship because officials consider it a hazardous material.)
Current price-gouging laws “are not built for today’s day and age,” Mr. Colvin said. “They’re built for Billy Bob’s gas station doubling the amount he charges for gas during a hurricane.”
He added, “Just because it cost me $2 in the store doesn’t mean it’s not going to cost me $16 to get it to your door.”

Just now, mom2scouts said:
He bought hand sanitizer at the dollar store and sold it for $70 a bottle and you don't think he was making a huge profit? He even called it "crazy money". The other guy said he made $35,000 to $40,000 in profit on face masks.
I thought he said $20, and it cost him $16 to list and all. I must have misread. That is quite the markup! 😱 -
He wasn’t making a huge profit from it, after shipping, listing fees, and all...but it does bother me that he left those areas with no sanitizer and other supplies. It’s hard to feel bad for him.

I just started a loaf of bread in a brand new machine. After starting it I noticed it says to run a bake cycle for 10 minutes then wash it out again, before the first use. 😩 Would you eat this bread? throw it out? I think it’s something about residual oils.

I’m using it with my kids, all ages. You can do as little or as much as you want. I mostly just use it to guide our outdoor nature time. We use her mini lessons and schedule and skip the extras. Once in awhile we do an activity. We are also using SCM’s Journaling a Year in Nature.

Novare would be a good curriculum to consider. Earth Science or Physical Science would be the best bets for 8th grade.

My daughter had complained that we've only covered ancients and pilgrims (which isn't quite true, but maybe not terribly far from the mark). We also switched curriculum or joined a co-op where we were limited by the time period. Two weeks ago I switched us to Modern Times. 😊 We are now studying the Civil War and everyone seems to be enjoying it. History will always have gaps, no matter what curriculum you use, you can't cover it all! I think this is one of the safer subjects for curriculum hopping! Math is another matter.
I regret switching curriculum as often as I have over the years, but sometimes it's made all the difference. It's a fine line. I always say I've switched for the last time, but here I am again with a new curriculum two months onto our school year. 🙄 Technically this time I switched back to an old curriculum that I've previously used.

I'm so excited about this site that I just came across. It looks promising!
