  2. Environmental science has many opportunities a chem or bio graduate can explore.
  3. You can also try changing IP addresses through an online site or software.
  4. Aside from checking if he's washing properly (important parts, duration, thoroughness, etc.) you could also consider diet issues. Sometimes certain foods and chemicals in them might affect body chemistry like body odor. Just a thought.
  5. Oh my goodness. Just the homepage is so quiet, simple, and impressive. Thank you so much. Although I'm young, my mind feels at home with the Syntopicon age. Thanks for this!
  6. For 5 years old that's pretty impressive writing. Hope you find what you need for this bundle of talent!
  7. Math gets a bad rep in pop culture. Plus, whereas Nobel winners in literature and science are lauded, math geniuses are portrayed as 'eccentrics'.
  8. Thanks for these links. Will try them. There's a good site with free ebooks, XPMath I think. New and unique perspectives on numbers.
  9. I agree with you BlueGoat. Most people assume that teaching lessons is a very simple job. I had a guy tell me one time when I was a part time teacher that "Your job is very easy. You just need to move your arm to check papers." He was a boxer. I could've punched him myself. Really, a lot of factors go into lesson prep and high school lessons are theoretically the hardest to prepare of them all. Just writing the detailed lesson plan will take much time. Then you have to think about the approach, the method, the strategies: and these may differ everyday (this sort of thing can't be planned during the summer, believe me, unless you're going to have the same classroom dynamics everyday). You have to keep the flow of the lessons smooth, and even if you've only got five (I had eight) it's all a different battlefield, so to speak. Add to that all the other tidbits - checking papers, communication with parents, preparing daily materials, classroom management, school activities and memos - and you wonder why teachers spend lunch just recharging.
  10. I understand. Does he have younger brothers/sisters? And can the older ones help you out?
  11. *Additional* I had experience with Calvert's homeschool curriculum (2nd grade and 7th grade) and it's pretty impressive. One advantage is they have a partnership with Brainpop, which the kids love.
  12. Wow, nice anecdotes here on the daily adventure of home schooling. =)
