No idea. But I'm not going to complain! :D
I have to say, I didn't like it! I especially didn't like that they swiped my card, pulled it out halfway and left it there while they walked away. It seems a lot of credit cards are vulnerable to theft.

We recently returned home from our road trip and we were in the NJ area a few days. I was caught off guard at a gas station because I had no idea you can't pump your own gas there. Why do you have the law that one cannot pump their own gas?

I guess we won't find ours out until tomorrow, but for those of you who know the score and it was a 4 or 5, what prep/practice book/resources did your student use?

Mine isn't really a weekly wrap up, but a final thoughts post on our almost month long American History road trip, so still a wrap up of sorts!

You should be able to call Customer Service at the College Board tomorrow and get the AP number.
Great, thanks!

This was ds first year taking an AP - He took Biology. We can't call because the local school didn't return his yellow booklet to him. We don't have his AP number :(

I think RR business has gone down.....I think many years ago they were the "best game in town" but the last few years may have them hurting. They are always at our big convention and this year they were not there. I am only speculating.

My little guy has listened to all the Fudge books on CD. We haven't read "Tales..." yet. We won't be reading the books aimed at pre-teen/teen girls.

I disageee with this guy's assessment. I am also pretty tired of other Christians saying, in so many words, that Christians that enjoy the Hunger Games are somehow bigger sinners than they are and we should be ashamed. I had one friend say, "..whatever sick and twisted soul wrote the Hunger Games needs an exorcism..." Really??

Family Jewels and Hardcore Pawn. I may have to stop watching Hardcore Pawn because the sheer number of morons that go in to the pawn shop doesn't give me much hope in humanity.

Cool! Does the zoo have a special program, or did he just approach them?
They have a volunteer program for teens. The teen goes through the interview process and then a training program.

My son volunteers at a local private zoo. He hauls feed, scoops poop and he gets to feed many of the animals. Last year a Kinkajou bit him. He likes to tell that story, because it isn't everyday you meet someone that was bit by a Kinkajou.

I haven't used chemistry, but have used other Thinkwell courses. None of their science programs have labs, so that would be the other supplement to look for.
Okay, good to know. For some reason I thought there were virtual labs!
-
...what do you think of it? Does it need additional materials other than an AP prep book?
I am considering the AP Chemistry for next school year.

You can try doing literature with movies and books on cd. If he dislike the physical act of writing, maybe he could type his assignments or dictate them to you.
What about something interactive on the computer???

I'm trying to get my school room together. I've never had one and I'm so excited to now have the space for one! I've decided to go with this system b/c I can get my growing boys and my little one all around it. BUT please tell me about that little caddy in the middle of your table??!!!
It is the Desk Apprentice from Staples - $25 !! I love, love, love it!

I have one like that. I found that humor helped us all through it. When he gave me an eye roll, I would tell him that it just wasn't his best work and to give me a better one. When he would get irritated over nothing, I would get all dramatic with him and tell him he "gives me great woe." This has been my not-so-subtle way of telling him that he is behaving badly while not escalating. Now it has become a joke between us. He gives me an eye roll and I rate it Olympic style. It usually cracks him up and defuses the situation. He is 15 and his attitude has improved tremendously.
Oh, and I delegated driving to his dad. After 40 hours of practice behind the wheel, I can now let him drive and casually watch the scenery instead of stomping on that imaginary break:).
It does get better.
Love this. I try to use humor to help my ds's attitude. Sometimes I start singing and dancing and I threaten not to stop until he adjusts his attitude. He has become a lot more aware of his attitude when his friends are around, since the last thing he wants is mom breaking out in song in front of his buddy.:D

I redid mine in January - all IKEA. I used a combo of Expedit, Vika Annefors and Vika Amon.

What???? I am emailing them right now!!

We love Liberty's Kids too. DS just begged to watch an episode before taking his shower.
What? Homeschooling in prime time tv

I thought the portrayal of homeschooling on the George Lopez show, when Angie briefly homeschooled the daughter, was pretty realistic. LOL
