  1. I'd like to know exactly what curriculum Michael Vick was matriculating in at Virginia Tech.
  2. With all that I do around here, and with the two race cars that I gave birth to??? No. Not at all.
  3. When I read it today while I was there, I couldn't figure out exactly what they meant. I just went to their website, and the statement there is just as confusing. It says they will "waive any fine over $10". (Is that the whole thing, or the part that is over $10?) Either way, the reason given on the website is because they "just want people to bring books back so others can enjoy them."
  4. Strangely, there's a sign in our library that says they forgive all fines over $10. Books are .10 per day here.
  5. This addresses your question. It can be found on the VaHomeschoolers website. "Option1 -Copy of your high school diploma or high school transcript (you may also meet this by providing evidence of attainment of a higher degree such as an associates degree or a college diploma if those are easier to locate)." ETA- If you sent his they will probably just assume he's teaching. I really think they want the diploma/degree from the parent who's actually doing the teaching, though. I'm not sure.
  6. Lynchburg isn't urban. The cost of living is low, and there are a lot of nice quite places to live. (But then again, I live in the jungles of Northern/VA.)
  7. My frig had a broken ice maker in the door for a year. When I got my new Amana French door w/ freezer on the bottom I threw a "fridge warming" party.
  8. A variety of word problems for kids in grades/levels 5-12 is here.
  9. In this case, I would have finally just blurted out, "The black kid right there! Good grief!"
  10. I just saw this being discussed on television, and a former teacher who supports the law said a parent not providing a good education is no different than not giving a child food or clothing. She thinks the punishment should be the same.
  11. When I think I may be harboring ill feeling towards someone, I just think of my own sin and how many times I've been forgiven.
  12. I've been off the board. Has this been discussed? (I didn't find anything using the search engine.) http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20009756-504083.html
  13. I couldn't agree more. In a church we attended as a teen, the pastor's step-daughter became pregnant. They made her stand before the church, apologize, and give the details of the event. My mother left for good.
  14. <<<Whispering>>> Mariann, did you just say you're a cougar? Or did I misunderstand? :bigear: First, I thought you were June Cleaver (my bad), then I find out you're a Talbot's type who drives a hummer, and now this :tongue_smilie:..........
  15. I am considering it, and am interested in opinions too.
  16. Well, this is just one more example of two trains of thought colliding. 1.)That schools should teach ABC's and 123's and that's the end of their job. (Except, addressing signs of physical abuse/danger) 2)That the government, through schools, should take additional steps when there is a "justifiable" social problem. The dilemma with this is deciding what is/isn't a justifiable concern. Personally, I agree with Ester Maria on this issue. (Of course, the reason I home-school is because I don't need/want them to do either 1 or 2. I do both myself.)
  17. It's a dark marker on white chair. I got one color off with a Clorox wipe(they don't contain bleach), but the darker color won't budge. I'm wondering if it's not washable marker, because the wipes usually work. Any ideas?
