How come it won't let me post anything for sale?

Same issue here. Been a member since 2008! :D -
Would you buy a T1-84 calculator used?

Is there any reason I shouldn't? The used prices on Amazon are half the new, and since our first one was *ahem* misplaced, I'd like to save a little money. -
what we're studying each week. Some of the titles are self-explanatory ("Victoria's England") while others are completely vague. Would anyone be willing to help me out by telling me what we're studying for the following titles? The Great Game (chapter 3) Two Empires and Three Republics (chapter 7) The Sick Man of Europe (chapter 9) The Iron Outlaw (chapter 11) Thank you!

Not a problem here, either. At 16 I had a job 30 minutes from home that ended at 11. My dad didn't want me on the road after 2 a.m. since that's when the bars closed and unsafe drivers more likely on the road. My curfew on weeknights was after work got out (musical theater, in case you're curious what job for a teenager would be so late) and 2 a.m. on weekends. My responsibility and trustworthiness matched the privilege, though.

And this is what is so frustrating! I was lured by the subject matter covered in SL 300, the scope of reading, and the (assumed) organization. I was seeing it as something a high schooler could do primarily as a self-learner, something we expect by the sophomore year. My current sophomore in particular needs more hand-holding than others, so all this prep on my part rather defeats the purpose. Bummer. Guess I know what I'll be doing all summer.

This it totally, completely, and utterly discouraging. I was looking to SL to be a plan I could present to my 10th grader and just oversee it. There are 7 other children in this house who need my oversight ;) So... would anyone be willing to share any work/planning you've already done to enhance SL 300 so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? Please? ~Kendra

My math-headed 6th grader reads LOF books "just for fun, before I go to sleep". Whatever. :laugh: I'm so NOT a math head, but I think it's great. More power to her, and she thinks LOF is fun.

This will be our first year using a Sonlight Core. I'm looking forward to it, but I've gotta admit that I don't think there's an easy way to organize the binder so that my son can use it with as little daily direction from me as possible. I love the weekly schedules and plan to follow them, but if my son has to flip back and forth between sections instead of having everything right there behind each week's tabs, he might be tempted to throw the binder at me ;) Complicated by the fact that the nifty "how to organize your IG binder" video on the Sonlight site shows the sections color-coded ("the yellow pages are science", etc.) but Sonlight 300 pages are all white... Further complicated by the fact that I'm assuming they sent me the wrong binder tabs since mine say "read-aloud study guide" and I'm not thinking Sonlight 300 has read-alouds... So, this is a plea for help from anyone who has hit upon a logical way to organize their IG. Thanks! ~Kendra

Tested her today and she tested into TT Math 7. We'll be making the switch on Monday! Thanks for your thoughts.
