Mine do a lot of chores. But not when they are studying. We don't interrupt chores for Study. And we don't interrupt Study for chores. But they all do both. A place for everything and everything in its place. Same for a time for everything and everything its time. ;) I like teaching them to be able to Run The House by the time they are 15. Includes cleaning, cooking, menu plan, shopping within target budget $, know who to call for repairs, laundry specifics, dry cleaner errands, bell schedules (okay, we don't have a bell, ha) but Wake-up time, shower time, in bed time, time for classes, meal times, etc. Including making dentist appointments and similar by phone (consumer skills), registering themselves and doing the payment procedure for classes, seminars, etc. We use a lot of lists, both for tasks and for Finding Info. Toilet's leaking? Call so-and-so Locked out of the house? Need a locksmith Call so-and-so Need to take a Taxi, Call so-and-so Just need to take the bus? Call so-and-so Break a window? Call so-and-so Want a Pizza? Need a Notary? To receive a fax? Rent a mailbox, etc. Bike repair, on and on... But chores, sure. Those advertisements for Maid Service that list each task they do make for Good Starter Lists for both Tidy up, and Deep Cleaning. :seeya:

Better link now But you need to sift through the grade levels to see the list for each grade http://angelicum.net/curriculum/curriculum-book-list-2/

No, not a thing. :001_huh: :seeya:

We do both books. It's never any fun to Hit The Wall in Algebra in Chapter 5. It doesn't matter which publisher book is used, it always seems to be "Chapter 5" If it's "that easy" the student can do two lessons a day, six days a week and finish a book in less than three months. Nice review. If it turns out it wasn't So Easy After All, then you can slow down Student's Pace :) :seeya:

No. Yeah, probably, but only for a few ;) :seeya:

:iagree: :seeya:

Trig is taught here. It could be included in the other "course names" Sin, Cos and Tan are alive and well. :seeya:

I was trying to think of the name of this publisher to recommend it. I didn't realize someone had posted it already :confused: So, I second the suggestion. :seeya:

Even if they did, there are a lot of Advanced Math materials available on the used market. :) I wouldn't worry. The "Teacher" product has been published already. http://www.mcdougallittell.com/store/ProductCatalogController;jsessionid=N8ccfB816lC53168Ghp4bnz8Rc4h0tWxw3TBZQ3qdbg3VmQbpRDb!-1421068580?cmd=ProductDetail&recordReference=1270928&nextPage=McDougal%2FProduct.jsp&division=M01&frontOrBack=F&sortEntriesBy=SEQ_NAME&sortProductsBy=SEQ_TITLE&hierarchyID=1007500000075607 :seeya:

http://www.pass.leon.k12.fl.us/ Parallel Stragegies aka the PASS books. Very inexpensive too. Seems their site is down for now, but there is a contact email :)

It's happened here. We just backed up and re-assigned the assignments to re-do. But that was more of a sequence-of-school issue. I can't remember any particular punishment at all actually :confused:

This has been our experience as well.

Zero, actually. There wasn't a option.

Same here. :)

That type of arrangement would not interest us. :)
