We don't have Prime because we do not use the video or audio or electronic books, we never get anything in two days, Prime prices are not necessarily better because they price shipping into the purchase, Amazon Fresh or any other delivery service is not available where I live, Whole Foods did not give us 5% off (only for people with an Amazon credit card). If I buy more than $25 or $35, I get free shipping anyways. What I purchase most are used books from 3rd party sellers so I pay shipping for those anyways. Quite a few sellers do not ship to our location at all. Therefore, no reason for us to pay for Prime.

I had those issues and it at east it got much much better after my vitamin D deficiency was dealt with. Obviously it could have been something else but 2 years later I very rarely have those symptoms anymore, usually only when I am overly stressed.

From an organizational point, both classes are fantastic. My kiddo who took Jetta's class last year and is currently in the chemistry class has a number of mental and physical health issues which can make an online class difficult. Both classes make it not only easy for the student to stay on task, they also make it easy for me as a parent to insert myself when needed because I can easily follow the plan. I also like/d the pace and the workload of both classes. There is time for a student to independently review or take longer without the class crawling. I always liked the set due dates but yet flexible nature of the classes but this year the two week due date schedule in Connie's class is a godsend for us. My daughter at time loses several days per week to feeling lousy, appointments or hospital stays and it is much easier for her to keep up within a two week time frame rather than one. That's a special circumstance though.
Both are great teachers, both are very supportive of the student and the parent. I would have had no problem signing up my other kids at younger ages had I known about either class had they existed or had I known about them. Both classes are rigorous and fun and I feel lay a solid foundation for those who wish to go on in those subjects.
I am comparing those to Blue Tent English which are good classes for my kids, but staying on task or checking what has been submitted and what is due/late is somewhat of a difficult task for me because of the website works.

After our old cat passed away, we adopted a two year old male from the humane society. The second cat, also a two year old male, we adopted from a rescue because they knew his personality. It is working out pretty well, they have their moments but overall they get along fine. Our previous cat never tolerated any other cat and was fiercely protective of her territory.

My husband's best friend from elementary school and all the way through high school now lives a block away from us, 7000 miles from where they grew up. My previous dentist and I attended the same elementary school in Germany at the same time (not military) and met again in Japan two years ago.

At 19 my kid is an adult and I would not expect to be asked. I stay out of my adult kids' lives unless asked for advice or input.

My son voted via absentee ballot in our home state. As far as the address was concerned, he had to put down his permanent address in his state of residence, not his school address.

Not necessarily. Your daughter may have something entirely different but I may be something for my son to pick up on. He is also seeing a number of different specialists who all see their own little are whereas your daughter might receive more integrated care. My son also has asthma and HIT which may confound the whole thing. Neither one should lead to the frequent passing out and blood pressure changes he is experiencing but I do think they play into this. I am looking into autoimmune disorders as both conditions are autoimmune issues.

I am very interested in the outcome of this because my son has the same problem. He has so far seen every specialist in the book and no one has any ideas what the cause is.

Cream like our dining room, living room, study room and entry hall because they are all one room. I really really dislike this concept because right now the TV is on, the dishwasher is on, someone is on the phone, the kitchen is dirty because I just made dinner. Everybody is frustrated because it is hard to hear anything or focus and my friend, who just walked through the door, is welcomed by a huge mess of dirty dishes in the kitchen.

Last Monday was the first time I ever got a fly shot (never had the flu either). I have been having massive head aches since, I'm nauseous, fatigued and feel like vomiting. I am running a temperature, my arm is still swollen and I can't sleep. I have never had issues with vaccines before and rarely get sick (my youngest son and hubby had the flu three weeks ago and I did not pick it up from them). I wonder if this year's shot is somehow different (more potent after last year's didn't seem to be too effective).

We have Spectrum (only provider though I think they just changed names because they were bought out) and pay $110 per month.
Edit: This is just internet, we have neither phone nor TV.

Ouch! I had a teacher like that for calculus in high school (11th grade), also from India. I can't remember how often we heard that we were inferior to students in India, that we were not working as hard and he had to dumb down the class for us or none of us would pass. This was in the late 80's at a private school in Germany. Part of the problem was that his accent was so bad, that most of us could not understand a word he said. I did encounter the same attitude again in college in the US in the mid-90's(calc 2) including the heavy accent. The difference was that in college there were several lecture and recitation sections and so I attended the lectures with a professor I liked and switched to a recitation that nobody wanted (Saturday mornings at 7:30).

#2 son wanted to do something with computers since he was four. He is now majoring in computer science.

Hits for us are Clover Valley Chemistry, Algebra2 and Biology with Wilson Hill, Blue Tent English and Psychology with Athena's Academy (probably my son's favorite class this year). My daughter is not fond of history so for her the Great Courses lectures are a necessary evil. My boys and I though thoroughly enjoyed Philip Daileader.

LOL, I am mean and we will do some problems from Zumdahl because I suspect it all went into short term memory. Some topics I would let slide but not stoichiometry. I am really happy with the class though.

We feel the same way.
I will add that’s it’s a looooot of work.
Ahem, had my daughter read the "due dates" handout, she would have known that the homeworks, labs and test were not due until 30 September. Since all of her classes are/have been due at the end of the week, it never occurred to her that chemistry might be different and yes, this last week was a little tense, I don't think she did anything but chemistry. Lesson learned for the next chapter.

We have not gone but we also live close enough to go when ever needed or wanted. The university also does a great job of keeping parents in the loop concerning issues that are important.

Hm, I did not have to take the TOEFL because I took the SAT (it's been 25 years though). On a side note, a friend of mine was from Great Britain with a Master's in English from Oxford. He failed the TOEFL the first time around and barely passed the second time.

That's strange, when I log in, I see all fields BUT I can only see my oldest son as a student. My daughter just finished a summer class and her info is not there, neither is her other brother's info.

Kolbe should be on PT as they are based in California. AOPS is late but only chat based. We are also in Hawaii and were in Japan before that, I feel your pain. My kids usually watch the lecture later in the day and base their forum work on the lecture. We have done Lukeion, WTMA and WH that way.

What is everyone doing for science next year?
in High School and Self-Education Board

Well, we have done Clover Creek Physics and are now doing Clover Valley Chemistry. I keep ignoring the issue because someone (not me) has exactly 8 months to come up with Clover ... Biology.
On another note, I am looking at a couple of biology classes for my daughter and I have no idea for my son. He has done physics, chemistry and is now in biology. His favorite subject is physics but he will only be in pre-calc next year. I am trying to remember how much calc I actually needed for physics but it has been 25 years. He is interested in engineering and suggested an engineering class but I am also coming up dry with that (he is not a kid who does well with self-paced study, otherwise I would look at the MIT courses).
