As a pharmacy tech, I see people take much higher doses of those medications. If you're dizzy or have any changes in vision (or generally if you're just worried about it), call your doctor or a nurse help line.

I apologize, as I know that this question wasn't directed towards me, but I would love to suggest the Liddell-Scott Lexicon. I'm a junior at a college that requires every student to take two years of Attic Greek, and the Liddell-Scott is the dictionary to which everyone turns. It comes in three sizes, affectionately referred to as the "Little Liddell", the "Middle Liddell", and the "Great Scott".

Yes. In 11th grade, AP biology and physics; in 12th grade, AP chemistry and environmental science.

Aw!

I'm very, very impressed. What a lovely piece of news!

I just wanted to point out that Candide was the highlight of my sophomore year of high school and that I think everyone should read it at some point in their lives. It's one of the greatest satires ever written, IMO.

Ditto. I would have given anything to be homeschooled, though. I went to a classical secular high school and loved essentially every person in my class, but I would have benefited from being able to work ahead at my own pace. I also wish that I would have been able to study Greek in high school.

I'm guilty. But I'd been given coffee since I was three. I'm 6 feet tall, so it definitely didn't stunt my growth. :-)

Thanks for posting this.

A great deal of my education/life has been focused on linguistics and language acquisition. In my experience of teaching languages, I believe that young children learn languages faster simply because they are less afraid of making mistakes and embarrassing themselves. It's also much more difficult to learn to speak any language without an accent if it is begun later in life. In short, the sooner, the better. Just keep it fun.

I find that it really helps me to visit the person's resting place, if that is an option, and let yourself me sad for a few minutes. Talk to the person if you feel comfortable in doing so. It's a huge relief for me, although it might not help everyone. All of my best, K

...cold and hectic. Educational, though, I suppose. :001_smile:

Suggestions: -Hamilton's Mythology instead of Bulfinch -Antigone instead of Oedipus Rex -The Odyssey instead of the Aeneid, unless you want an epic that was written in Latin rather than Greek -Maybe read just Inferno or Purgatorio instead of the whole of the Divine Comedy? It seems to me that otherwise that's going to eat up a quarter of the school year. -Perhaps Macbeth or Hamlet instead of Romeo & Juliet -I adore Swift, but perhaps also consider Voltaire's Candide. It was the highlight of my sophomore year. -Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle or Slaughterhouse 5 instead of Asimov and Bradbury -The fantasy category seems superfluous to me. JMO

My suggestion would be to read as many books as possible without feeling as though they are being superficially covered. Move at a quick pace, but be sure to digest each book. In my experience, the difference between high school and college literature classes was that, except in the case of courses with very narrow focuses, e.g. , a preceptorial on Joyce, college class expect the same depth with more books in less time. Perhaps it would be best to ease into this philosophy so that it won't be a shock later in your child's education. Just my two cents.
