Dangerous Book For Boys/Girls. Favorite Books of ours. Teaches all kinds of surival skills; fires, morse code, just so much good stuff in those books; Paper airplanes, just off the top of my head.

I have a minute and would like to add some info. but can't address questions right now. Ideally she would like to take some classes at one of our alternative high schools and I have met with the counselor there twice; however, they are changing their structure and now require all students to be referred by their local high school, which she has zero interest in going to. We still may be able to get that referral, we shall see. She has lots of friends here in our community and is very involved with a few peers in our circle of friends. We have recently had a major change in our home structure (abuse related) and she is in Australia right now for a visit with my sister to get away from here for a few weeks. In the meantime I need to figure out some things with her. We have talked extensively about her future and we are somewhat close. She is a good kid. But she is dealing with a lot right now. She is almost done with her counseling sessions and.....I dont know. We have talked about her future and she is not sure. She wants to travel and is consider college in Australia since it is an option, though we haven't really looked into that. She does have an interest in Nursing but is reluctant to start with cna certification because she doesn't want to work in a nursing home. Right now we just need to keep her options open which means getting through 3/4 years of high school math successfully. And of course the other core subjects. Also, the other part of wanting to take classes through the alternative high school is that they will pay for dual enrollment; a major plus. I think outsourcing for math and a foreign language will be our 2 best options this year. We have met with the local CC and can possibly just handle dual enrollment on our own with them but it will be pricey AND I am not sure how well she will do in her writing to gain entrance there. Thanks for all the input. I will be mulling things over for the next few days.

I have gone through the placement test for Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1 and I think she would be able to pass with nearly 100%. I think going into Algebra 1, I would really like her to have a "teacher" or a "class" or at least something like whatTT offers. She just wants to be done with school so maybe TT Alg.1 would be fine and she can finish it as soon as she likes then move onto Geometry then Alg. 2 at her own pace. On the Other hand, I am afraid that if she is too bored with it, she will not see the need to finish and loose motivation to go on. She has done really well with CLE since 8th grade but I know it changes format now into a textbook and working on your own paper. Im not sure how she will do with that. She does pretty well for the most part in whatever she does, as long as she can stay motivated.

Please Ignore my signature. It does not accurately describe us. Anyhow. My 16yo DD is starting her 10th Grade Credits. A Mix of ACE, Notgrass, and not decided on math yet. We are of the get er done philosophy. Especially since she is "behind" and should be starting 11th grade credits this year. She has just finished CLE 700 and is very grounded now in her basic math functions and I am sure she is ready for Algebra 1, maybe even Algebra 2; which is where my question lies. If she takes a placement test and places into Algebra 2, how do we give credit for Algebra 1 as it is required. (Going by state graduation requirements which are according to career path/college chosen. We are not sure of a career path, maybe nursing. Probably college anyway. ) So I was looking at Teaching Textbooks for Algebra 1 and I really think she may place into Algebra 2. How do we give the required math credits for Algebra 1? Thanks.

If you like to hike, come to Carbondale. Mount Sopris is a full days hike. It is beautiful here. You could stay at a KOA?

I am, but I need to figure some things out. I am starting a sugar detox soon. Maybe Monday. And I understand that carbs are basically sugar once they are broken down. But I dont understand why some avoid beans. I do not enjoy a lot of meat, but I like eggs and beans. I have a hard time getting the protein and avoiding beans seems impissible. Is it because they are starchy? And I thought that because they have fiber that makes them low on glycemic index. I guess Ill keep reading. Now to find a good pair of walking shoes, any suggestions? Should I care whether they are a true walking shoe by design or will any running shoe fit the bill.

Are there really only 3 choices for the top loaders? And they are all the same 3.3 cubic feet? Do you find it sufficient for capacity? Family of 7, We Do laundry daily.

I do have support. But not from family. And Thanks.

I will be very vague. And speak in general terms. It really bites that certain tragedies/ crises are so taboo. Had there been a death in the family Im guessing I could speak more freely. But facing the loss of a family member (dh) because of other reasons leaves little room for support. Anyway, I would just like to chat. Vaguely, and in general terms. BTW. My DD will be 16 on Monday and I really dont want her birthday to get lost in this mess.

Just sitting down to re read your post. AND Taking notes. The biggest reason for ps would be to avoid cost of DE. Thanks for your help.

I will try this. I was at their site earlier today. Thanks for the suggestion. Sent from my SM-G530P using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick reply. I have to confess....we are non reporting and its really bugging me now. I feel like I have nowhere to go for help. No high school counselor to ask questions. Yes thats why I am here. We have considered DE, there is a CC in our small town, easily accessible and we have met with the admissions counselor there. It is a good option but we would be paying tuition. Thats the biggest reason I am looking into part time ps. Anyhow. She is getting ready to take the accuplacer soon and is doing pretty well in the practice tests so far. I have a hard time helping her to be motivated. SHE IS EXTREMELY DISCOURAGED b/c she is just now finishing her 9th grade classes. She should be a junior this fall. I am at a loss. But hopeful.

I just finished reading the Colorado Revised Statutes concerning equal access. The wording states "activity" and is defined ..."Activity" means any extracurricular or interscholastic activity, including but not limited to any academic , artistic, athletic, recreational, or other activity offered by a school." To me this says we can take core/academic classes? I will go and talk to the school on Monday. I am just apprehensive since we have homeschooled completely in house since Kinder. However, I am willing to give a little if this is what she needs.

BTW. My WTM book is packed away b/c of a possible move. Guess I need to go digging. Sent from my SM-G530P using Tapatalk
