  1. I am very interested in this curriculum and I have the 1st edition text book. I am looking for the solutions to the questions in the book.

    Does anyone has any idea where I can buy it?

    I have tried Amazon, ebay, search the internet...

    All that is available in the market is the 3rd editions.

     

    Can someone tell me if there is a teacher guide/ solutions for the 1st edition of Harold Jacobs Geometry ?

     

    Thanks.

  2. Money is a huge motivator for my 14 y.o. son. I am willing to cough some up because it would cost a fortune to hire a tutor (cheapest around here is $50 and hour and it goes way up from there).

     

    If she is motivated in classes outside the home, can she take more? Where I live there is a program at the local public college for highschoolers to take college courses-- free- for credit. They just need a minimum PSAT/ SAT score to be enrolled.

     

    She put all her effort in the outside classes. It is just the classes at home that she is not motivated. Yes, I am looking into the local college classes for her next year.

  3. Dd has completed her 9th grade. It was such a pain to get her to finish her school work. She claimed that she has no motivation to do her work for the homeschool classes. On the contrary, she was very motivation to keep up her grade for the classes she took outside of home :glare:

     

    So, what are the motivations of your highschoolers to complete their school work each day?

    How independent are your highschoolers in completing their daily assignments?

    How involved are you in their highschoolers education?

  4. Unfortunately, I am just like you... I am not good in handling rude situations and felt angry for days after that.

    Does the 9 years old do all these out of bad intentions? Or just oblivious?

    We do have many acquaintances but no close friends. Then someone told me that my kids are blessed to have each other, friends come and go, but families are forever.

    Don't give up in searching for new friendships. But on the other hand, don't forget to enjoy whatever you are blessed with.

     

    :grouphug:

  5. Whatever the parents do, there will be some experts coming along to criticize it.

    And whatever the issue the kids face, it has to be something the parents did not do right.:glare:

    Homeschooling or not, make no difference.

    And for those who claim the homeschoolers are too sheltered, I don't see them leaving their kids to live on the street to learn about the hard "reality" of life either.

    Probably my kids are too sheltered ( from the junk of the school). But by the fact that we live here in the N America, we are already living a very sheltered life compare to the rest of the world.

  6. I would not be worried, but I would not ignore it either. My response would be your dd doesn't have a problem interacting with people~she just interacts differently than her 16 y.o. cousin and other young people her grandma is accustomed to.

     

    For Pete's sake, her willingness to be away from her family at 14 for four weeks says a lot about her self confidence.

     

    I would also affirm dd as much as possible, telling her how proud I was for her patience with difficult relatives and tell her the choice to come home is hers but showing forbearance to people who are less than gracious is character building and I would be ridiculously proud of her.

     

    Totally :iagree:

  7. Whem my DD's hamster died a few months ago, I ran out and bought a replacement one that looked just like it (last one at the pet store). Then I snuck it in the cage before she found out. THEN...I had the talk about how "Bob" wasn't going to live forever and he will die someday (only now he was a she but DD didn't know it!) Now she will be prepared better for the enivitable. I just felt she wasn't ready yet.

     

    You are so creative! Never have thought of that. Good idea.
