Dd is 9 and her permanent molar is coming in but it's bleeding when she brushes where the tooth meets the other molar. Does bleeding happen in older kids or maybe her teeth are crowded?

Yes, perhaps moving him to the team might help. If you and him are ready for it. The coaches here try to do all they can to keep the kids moving so they aren't freezing.
If it weren't these young KIDS teaching this class, I could just talk to them and say he can you have him do this extra thing while he's waiting so he's not getting cold, something to keep him moving... I just hate to fluster young kids. They're more there just barking orders than anything. They're not really being creative like the adult teachers are.
And I don't know if that would help anyway.

Not sure there is anything you can do other than to keep him moving. Are there long breaks between sets?

Thank you! Mastery approach is what I'm looking for
Besides AoPS, you might also consider MM7 (Asian style, mastery), Dolciani's Prealgebra, An Accelerated Course (not because it's "like" Singapore, but because it's solid, straightforward, mastery, and fine prep for algebra), and Russian Math 6.
I feel like I'm forgetting something.... maybe Jousting Armadillos.

I have been googling and sifting through threads but have yet to find answers! My Ds completed SM through 5a. He is taking Saxon 7/6 through a co op. He is acing all the tests and is bored with Saxon. Saxon induces much eye rolling from him. He loved Singapore. Aops is on the list to consider but while my son is good in math, it's not something he really enjoys. Any ideas?

Dh drives an hour in the morning if he leaves after 6:30am. Afternoons range from 1-1.5 hours on a regular day. He has been doing it for 10 years. It's the worst part of his job but it pays the bills. Podcasts and audiobooks help

Aleve...that's about it besides not using it

Anyone give to them? I'm trying to find a secular charity to give to as a gift for my brother. I can't find any ratings for the organization.

Thanks for the suggestions! Also will check out the author list. He has read most of the books mentioned but there are a few I can add to the list

My 10 year old has read tons of books and classics and I am running out of ideas and book lists. Finally I started pulling from my own collection. He read to kill a mockingbird yesterday and is reading old man and the sea today. He said, with much enthusiasm, "can you find me more classics like these?!" I don't know what to look for... Any suggestions?
Meant to post on education board but oh well😊

Under $100.
Thanks!

How old is the baby? Goat milk is NOT a good choice. First of all, it's protein load is too much for little babies and it is deficient in folic acid.

I was you, exactly,last year. I enrolled my 3 in school last January. I was really conflicted BUT I needed the mental break. I brought my oldest home again this fall and he attends a homeschool academy one day a week and it's fabulous. The other two are doing great in school BUT I will probably bring them home for next school year. I hope I am refreshed enough to give it another go with all 3. Putting them in school did allow me to see everything we were doing was over and beyond enough. They are quite academically ahead. Yes the ps work is tedious and at times seems pointless but i am not questioning it since my plan is to continue with homeschooling. All in all, a good decision for family at the moment. Seriously, more than likely they will be fine. Recharge, be happy, and make changes later if necessary.

Found her original email and if it's something you want to pursue looking into let me know I'll send you her details of diagnosis

This is only based on the symptom of hearing your pulse in your head. It was symptom my friend had and after lots of searching led to a diagnosis and surgery. I can't find her original email detailing everything but this is the foundation she now supports with info. Hopefully this is not what's going on with you but maybe something to bring up with your dr if you continue to have problems with no answers.

In my state a 9 month internship (with corresponding graduate level classes)through An accredited university program is required to become an RDN registered dietitian nutritionist. You then will need to apply for a license. It is my understanding you need this in every state. This is all in addition to a bs in nutrition.

My son doesn't complain and doesn't seem to have a problem with tedious checklists. I see it as tedious but after reading your responses, I understand it's purpose. I am still not sold on the whole thing but time will tell. Now, when my dd reaches the age for the co op writing class, iew may be a different story for her. She is a natural writer so she may hate it.

I guess I'm not understanding how the program will work in the long run because it seems to require no creativity at all. Perhaps once my child is writing papers for other classes, I will see the fruit from IEW. That is my hope

My 5th grader is taking a class at a co op using iew, specifically the medieval course. My question is: is iew always so formulaic even as it progresses through grade levels? I really want my son to learn to write well but the classes only teach iew and writing is not my strong suit. The assignments have so many rules and I don't see how that is helping. I find it very stifling almost like its writing in math form. Am I not seeing the big picture?

In the elementary years, reading, write a little about your day or what you are reading and do math. That's ALL and let your kids enjoy thier free time. Honestly I came to that conclusion after putting my 2nd and 4 th grader in public school for 6 months. I wasn't sure how they would do, but they were at the top of thier class. Now I can relax and enjoy homeschooling again and not be so uptight about what they may not be learning.

Thank you! I don't know why I still don't get how it's worded In the book (guess that's why it's called problem solving😉)Your explanation makes perfect sense though.
They are asking how many cubes would be needed to make a 3x3x3 larger cube.
Saxon Singapore DM or NEm..which has more depth
in High School and Self-Education Board

Here is my dilemma. We used Singapore through 5a and loved it and the explanations. I felt like We really understood the reasons behind the problem. Ds now does math at a co op and is using Saxon 7/6. He is doing great, but he doesn't like Saxon.I don't teach anything because it is so easy for him; however when he has a question, I don't feel like Saxon gives enough in depth information to explain the why. It seems like it just provides the short cuts. So now we are at a crossroads between Saxon 1/2 or maybe Singapore DM or nem. Saxon 1/2 would be taught at co op and will probably be less work on my part but I feel like he is just blowing through Saxon without understanding the why. Would Singapore prepare him well for Geometry and algebra 2 if he went to public school or maybe we just stick out Saxon.
Any advice?
