  1. I really need help finding a 4th grade reading list/curriculum. I want to buy a years worth of 4th grade, whole books with comprehension questions for each chapter, reading schedule and vocabulary (if possible). Sonlight would be great, but I don't want to buy the Core IG just to get comp questions. Heart of Dakota book lists are great, but do not include comprehension questions. I Do Not want integrated LA, lap books, writing projects, notebooking pages, etc.... Just comprehension questions for each chapter I can ask my child to make sure they are understanding what they are reading so I don't have to pre-read the books! I have no interest in buying a lit guide for each book, that cost too much $$. It really doesn't matter if the book are secular, Christian, combination or what time period the books cover. Does anybody sell this product?
  2. I don't know. When I used a nurse-midwife, there was not doctor there either, but they did have a supervising doctor who came in to do circumcisions once a month. You would also see that doctor if there was a medical emergency during delivery. I never saw him while pregnant. Maybe there is a supervising doctor at a different location.
  3. I stopped playing with barbies around 12. That was when I noticed boys:-)
  4. Has anyone heard of this? http://www.teladoc.com I was with Christian Medi-share. They were doing a pilot program allowing their customers to use it for free. I never tried to use it, but it is ...... ummm.....interesting. I would rather go to a clinic than call and video conference a doctor.
  5. But if a family is low income, but not low enough to qualify for Medicaid, they would qualify for the 60/40 Bronze Plan (which would possibly be free if their income is low enough). 40% of the $90 clinics fee is $36. I would find a way to borrow money to pay the clinic rather than have the ER hounding me for $$$$. Maybe most people don't feel this way, I don't know.
  6. But Medicaid patients don't pay anyway. So if the Medicaid patents went to the clinics instead of the ER, it would save the gov. $$$,
  7. Mon – Fri 8:30am to 7:30pm Sat 9am to 5:30pm Sun 10am to 5:30pm I pasted this from my local CVS clinic hours, so they are not just after hour clinics. I have had 10k deductible for the past several years. I do not have a primary doctor because I don't go unless it is an emergency. This causes me to end up at Fast-Med which cost about $250 a visit. Being able to walk in and be seen for $90 makes me very happy. I really don't care who I see as long as I can get the proper meds for my sickness. This will be a very good option for young adults and people, who in general, have been skipping seeing the doctor when sick because of the cost. I think it is a good option.
  8. I posted this in the other post, but I thought it might deserve a post of it's own. Has anyone noticed the minute clinics that Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Target, Kroger+ more are setting up? Google it, it is quite interesting how many big box store are going to provide walk clinics. I think this is what the ACA is wanting to take over regular 'sick' doctor visits. Then you would only see a doctor for speciality care. The minute clinics charge about $90 a vist and you are seen by a Physicians assistant or a nurse practitioner. I'm in NC and these clinics are popping up. Here is an article about SC Medicaid being accepted at the clinics: http://www.postandco...ssues-out-of-er Here is a list of what you can be seen for at the CVS minute clinic: http://www.minutecli...s/minorillness/ Honestly, I think, after people discover these clinics, they aren't going to go to a doctor unless it is a true ER emergence or they have a special need. This type of care will prevent people from using the ER for minor sickness. It will be convenient for people to get to the nearest CVS or Wal-mart or where ever. It will be a one-stop-shop for your sick-visit and your meds. It is a win win situation for these big box stores. All they have to do is hire a PA or a NP. They will be no doctor trying to pay rent, the store is guaranteed that the patient buys thier med form them and probably the patient will buy something while waiting on their meds to be filled. How convenient! I may be a tin foil hat wearer, but I truly believe this is what the government is wanting to see happen. I don't think the government wants to tell people this is what they want, but they want people to discover the clinics themselves and think it was their idea for them to go there for care! If it is the people's idea, they will be happy. Problem solved! This would make regular sick care affordable. Unfortunatly, this is bad news for general practitioners.... maybe.......or maybe people who have good insurance will keep seeing their regular doctor and low income people will have care too.

  10. So, I'm looking at the Bronze Plan and it says that is covers 60% of your health care cost. Does that mean if I got cancer and had a $500,000 bill I would owe $200,000? Is there no point ($$) at which the Bronze plan picks up the rest of the bill? Say like a $10,000 out of pocket max per family or something? I can't find any info on how the 60% works and that is scary! Is there a website that tells the detail of each level not just a %?
  11. I think I might have been misunderstood. It doesn't have to teach LA through literature, but rather use real books for the reading/literature study portion of the LA program. I thought Spalding was a phonics program. What spin-off programs are you talking about. My biggest problem with using individual curriculums for each skill is that each curriculum thinks their skill is the most important and wants to schedule a full lesson every day 5 days a week. This creates a LA mammoth that takes over your homeschool! LOL! I need balance in my LA program and I feel like an all-in-one program might be better at achieving this.
  12. ~other than LLATL? LLALT is the only all in one LA curriculum that I can find that uses real books and not basal readers. Surely there are more. Please! I feel so disjointed using a separate program for: spelling writing literature poetry vocabulary grammar Christian or Secular doesn't matter to me. Just all-in-one with real classic literature!
  13. My dd was required to by a $100 graphing calculator for Algebra 1 in 9th grade (public school). It had to be a specific name brand and model. That was 6 years ago. It was expensive, but she has used it all the way through her last math class in college, so it did get a lot of use (5 years of classes).
  14. My kids are loving VP Self Paced History. I love that it has constant review, learning games, people talking in costumes and multiple choice quizzes. Are there any other online/computer based curricula for any other subjects similar to VP's Self Paces? Mostly looking for science.
  15. Well, actually, I sat throught their presentation at a homeschool convention, so it does have to do with a homeschooling convention. Wasn't trying to fool anyone. I think it was the GHC in Greenville, SC two years ago.
