  1. FYI from the PLSA handbook: IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING SERVICES FROM FLORIDA PUBLIC SCHOOLS INCLUDING VIRTUAL SCHOOL: ï‚· If a PLSA scholarship recipient takes courses or receives services from a public school (including the Florida Virtual School), the student would need to contract for classes/services. Those services can be paid directly to the district using PLSA funds, or the parent can pay and request reimbursement. ï‚· If the district reports the student for FTE funding or other state funding, the student will be ineligible for PLSA and this would jeopardize his/her scholarship. ï‚· If a child is taking virtual classes or using services from any public school district, to make sure he/she is not dually enrolled and at risk for losing the PLSA scholarship, the parent or private school must have a contracted private pay for service arrangement with the district or FLVS and must inform the district or FLVS that the child is a PLSA participant. I don't think this is changing from last year.
  2. You cannot dual enroll like you can if you are in public school with this scholarship. You have to pay for the classes with the money. If you don't set that up, you, will forfeit the scholarship. Same if you use FLVS or any service through the public school system. They have changed the rules so you can get PT tutoring now.
  3. I would figure out what topic your child is most interested in.
  4. Just for fun - For homeschool, including OT, PT, tutoring, supplies, curriculum, books, and technology, how would you spend it? I have a feeling it won't go as far as I think it would. :/
  5. FYI, there is also this place in Palm Beach. http://www.giftedandtalentedyouth.com/
  6. And add a mind control beacon in the spine. :laugh: This thread has been so helpful. I have been wondering about 6A/B and where to go after. Now I think I can comfortably purchase my Math curriculum for the year. Thanks!
  7. When my dd was floundering with AAS (she did great on the lessons, but it didn't translate over), I switched to Sequential Spelling. She is doing so much better and actually trying to spell more on her own. A huge bonus for both of us is that it is so stress free.
  8. So is regular 6th grade math just more fractions, decimals, grafts, angles with bigger numbers? With a little variables thrown in?
  9. If you are uncomfortable, then make yourself heard. If you have documentation or work of hers that shows the scores are off, then show it. If you think she should be a lesser restrictive environment, then start making phone calls.
  10. Nope, don't sign him up. I would keep an eye on him in the years to come just to make sure it isn't really anxiety. My dd's anxiety manifests itself as defiance and excuses why it sucks or why she can't do it. If she isn't able to perfect something from minute one, she is out. It is defiance, it is her flight mode going into overdrive. Also, it sucks for the other kids if he is going to be negative. Don't waste other people's time trying to teach him character. Maybe a social group to teach him social cues would be the proper route right now.
  11. What is it? Is it considered pre-algebra? What is the normal progression HSers do? Pre algebra, algebra, geometry.....?
  12. I used it. I think it is pretty useless because it doesn't teach grammar so much as IEW Dressups. We stopped doing it mid year because I hated it.
  13. I bought a Go Math book to supplement because they do review each assignment. However, it worked a little, but not as well as I wanted for 5a and b.
