  7. I found several different years of Modern Speller Dictation Day by Day online and love the idea of daily dictation, but I am afraid if I try to use something on my ipad I will quickly give it up. Are there any tricks to using this digital version for someone who really prefers an actual book but doesn't have the money? For example, just scrolling through it, I am already overwhelmed with how to plan it. There is a section for dictation, and I can't tell how I'm supposed to use the review words. Then a section for copywork or dictation but not numbered, so not part of the daily dictation? Then there is memorization. I feel like if it was an actual book I would have sticky notes all over it to help me.
  8. http://www.testprepreview.com/accuplacer_practice.htm http://www.brookhavencollege.edu/studentsvcs/testingcenter/accuplacer_prep.aspx http://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/students/accuplacer-tests I also found a sample test on my city library database called Learning Express Library. I had to create an account but it was free.
  9. I'm curious about this too. I like the looks of The Learning Box and the price of Carol's. I wish I could see a sample of Carol's. It looks much more affordable.
  10. I have a hard time getting on the computer on a regular basis to update everyone's completed assignments and print out checkoff sheets. What I have found is that I need to have blank assignment sheets (from Donna Young's website). I fill them in by hand a few weeks at a time. On HS Tracker I have the lesson plans that have most of the assignments. For example, in our CLE workbooks, it lists each assignment. I only keep grades for quizzes and tests. I don't worry about if they completed the assignment on the actual day assigned. For Apologia Science, my son takes a co-op class, so I just list each module for the date it's due and enter the entire module grade once the assignment has been graded and returned. I've tried keeping up with every single little thing on tracker, and it did not work well for me. I'm too busy for that. Better for me to have a stack of blank assignment sheets for me to list out their next assignments quickly while I'm sitting at the table with them.
  11. The nerve of him! <grin> I would love for him to be able to pick whatever he wants. I'd love for him to take piano lessons, but we don't have a piano or the money for lessons. He says, "They're my electives. It's not fair. <whine, whine> I should get to pick which electives I do." I chose Spanish for him because I've taken it and am somewhat familiar, and we live in Texas. He has also taken health and drivers ed this year. My oldest two kids did dual credit at the community college starting in 11th grade, and that's what I plan for this child as well. I know from experience that he really needs to know his way around Microsoft Office, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This means I will be picking his computer elective because he needs it. I'd like him to do Logic, Bible, and whatever else I want (LOL). I have to teach these myself or buy self-teaching curriculum as inexpensively as possible, so I am somewhat limited. How do others handle these situations? After all, I got to choose my own electives, too, in high school.
  12. We started out with Bob Jones Health in 9th grade, which I used with my two oldest kids. It wasn't getting done this year. It seemed like an old book. We switched to Alpha Omega Health with the lifepacs. It has gotten done. I'll probably use Alpha Omega from now on with the rest of my kids.
  13. I've heard so many stories from my friends about how Teaching Textbooks made their kids stop crying over math. I decided to get the Geometry for next year. I have read pros and cons of TT, but I think it is more important to me for my son to understand and hopefully even enjoy math than for him to be a math major. I also hope to hear some TT success stories!
