    Thank you to the two ladies who responded so far!

    And thank you for sharing your school profile.

    I would welcome additional input if anyone else has any!

    :)

    I am wondering if I should include curriculum-type things.

    Does anyone include their curriculum outline or description

    in either the School Profile or the Homeschool description...

     

    I don't mean the whole thing, just something like "We used

    this online school, we used this university, we used these textbooks."

     

    Do any of you include textbook titles in either of these documents...

     

    I am still wondering how much detail it would be OK to include.

    Dear Friends,

    DS is a senior this year and we are very close to being done--but I am holding up the whole process!

    DS already turned in his CA, recommenders turned in their letters, and all

    the scores and transcripts are sent by outside institutions.

     

    I am stumped about what should go in:

    School Profile

    Homeschool Environment, Description, etc.

    and I don't know how much redundancy there would be.

     

    Is the School Profile a general description of our school?  How would it be different

    from the Homeschool Environment, Description, etc? Or is the School Profile more

    a list of course descriptions?

     

    I had two different admissions people tell me two different things, and one of them 

    said, "Oh, just put the same thing in school profile as in homeschool description."

    Then he changed his mind and said:  "You know what, just put the course descriptions

    with esoteric titles that we would not understand."  So I am very confused!

     

    I have been keeping records all along, so have all the information in Word documents.

    I just need to know what to put where.

     

    What are the ladies here doing as far as School Profile vs. Homeschool Env. & Description?

     

    Would anyone be willing to share their document?  (You can take out all your personal

    info--I just wish I knew what School Profile is supposed to look like.)

     

    Thank you!!!

    I know.

    It was a joke.

    Or more like a trap.

    I knew someone wouldn't be able to resist.

    :)

    :p

    Love you, Jean (your tackle posts make my day!)

    I believe you mean Sisyphus.

    These sorts of things are hard, but they can be SO character building. If he was nervous he learned something. If he was unprepared he learned something. And if he tried his hardest and did his best he still learned something. It's so hard, because we hurt with them, don't we? We want to shelter them from pain and disappointment. But those are the instances that help us develop, mature, and grow into empathic and hard working adults.

     

    I hope he comes back from this stronger than ever and pumped up to do better next time. And I'm sorry he is hurting now :(

    This.

    Honest answers are fine. Most were

    honest and polite.

    I didn't like being told I would criticize

    or judge. I wouldn't do that.

    I'm not

    offended, just a little chagrined at what

    I perceived to be a slightly unkind tone.

    Look, no big deal. It's not important.

    It was going to be something to help, not

    to make people feel bad. I completely didn't

    expect snappy answers. My bad.

     

     

    You could use words that are sweet as pie, it doesn't change the fact that I would see it as rude to have a simple spelling error pointed out in the first place.

     

     

    Wow! You asked how people would perceive your advice, and you get offended by an honest answer! But you want to offer unsolicited corrections to others, and have them Not get offended??????? LOL, hmmmm. Nope. Don't see it going well.

    I didn't throw any stones.

    I didn't criticize anyone.

    I didn't judge anyone.

    None of these things crossed my mind.

    I was thinking more of like a PSA thing

    (akin to the kitten siggie someone has).

     

    I didn't even point out anyone's mistakes.

     

    Thank you for using the word "gently" though.

    (And I assure you I didn't do anything!)

    Man...

    Quick way to get one's head chopped off...

    (not you Aimee!)

    Most of you were very kind and some of you

    were funny. (Sisifus was funny.)

    Thank you Arctic Mama and TammyK!

    :)

     

     

     

     

     

    She wasn't rude at all.

    I didn't read your post before you deleted, but I might gently suggest you certainly shouldn't throw stones about the grammar, general composition/formatting, and/or spelling errors that others make...

    I wouldn't judge or criticize, and I

    specifically said I wouldn't be rude. I don't

    appreciate the tone of your post when

    I was perfectly polite.

     

    Anyway, never mind. I erased the post.

    No nitpicking or judgment coming up.

     

    Geez, no need to get mean!

     

     

     

    <p>I wouldn't be offended but I would see it as very rude.

    ...

    If you don't understand what someone has written due to spelling or grammar, then ask them what they meant. Don't judge or criticize others based on your pet peeves. ....
