I am useless but the new microsoft commercial is totally amazing.
I have a nook. That suits my needs. I also have a 'smart phone'. I am not an apple person.

My kiddo has ASUS. I never heard of it until his old computer fried a hard drive and we were in panic mode over online classes and one laptop. :scared:
The man in the blue shirt - my love at best buy - lol, saved the day. More memory, a faster do-hickey, a huge screen. 2 hrs of updates . out. of. the. box. and he was ready to go. Because, of course, adobe was lacking, there was no printer driver, microsoft was upset, google was lost, sheezez.
My kid loves his machine, it goes everywhere, the internet is fabulous!
ASUS all the way!!

I am getting ready to accommodate DS and increase his CTY course load. He is 12 and until now CTY has been more of 'enrichment' and we have been going along with one class at a time. He started about 3 years ago, when he was in '3rd grade' and has worked his way up to Honors Geometry. He also finished all the middle school sciences and 2 computer science classes. Honestly the computer science classes are a PITA and we wont be doing any more of those (at least for a long time)
My question is, DS is asking for more classes. This is something HE wants. I am fine with him taking one class at a time. He is only doing CTY for STEM classes (didn't qualify for verbal). He will be taking Honors Geometry and Chemistry. *I* am the one starting to panic.
Does anyone here have a HG/PG kiddo who is taking multiple CTY classes (or something like CTY). I know I'm new to the 'hive' but I really need some HG/PG support. My kiddo seems to have taken another 'jump' and I'm having a difficult time adjusting. :banghead:

I have a STEM kiddo. I would focus on not only math and science but as much computer programming as you can. If you can design an engineering class that would be bonus as well. Or if you can find something like a Lego team, robotics team - something where your kiddo can apply his skills, that will go a huge distance for him.
Around here high school kids still do Lego competition.

We have a Brother model from Staples. Its not color but honestly, I don't print that much in color anyway. The printer was about $200 and ink is $85 but the starter cartridge has lasted almost 2 years. AND I print ALOT - like entire workbooks for DS online class. The printer is a 4-1 wireless. I love Staples and with the teacher card we are always getting coupons and rebates.

I know its a moot point but a 'good' contract will cover things like this. If your contract was reviewed by an attorney things like 'snow days, inclement weather, school closures' would be covered. Since 24 hrs was not given then bill BAU (business as usual).
I would revise my contract to include 'weather' and update as you see fit.
I would also revise my contract to include a clause for 'emergencies' when 24 hrs just can not be given. (national attack, school lock down, city closure etc)

Scarlet fever, my kiddo was sick for over a month when he had that.
based on the symptoms, I would take him to a Dr asap. (the ER won't laugh at you)

My 12 yr old has no set schedule. He does homework until late into the night - we keep some odd hours around here. If he stays up later, then he sleeps later while I'm at work. There are no limits on technology or electronics.

Well... if my 12 yr old is technically getting high school credits attempting to 'enroll' him in public school is going to be difficult. :lol:
I was advised at a very early age when I was getting consults and evaluations that DS was HG/PG and to never/ever even consider traditional school for him. I settled on CTY starting at 3rd grade and haven't looked back. We've homeschooled from the beginning. I have a child who is able to complete CTY courses in a matter of weeks, not months so I have no idea how traditional school would figure this whole thing out.

I have a 12 yr old.
He has no limits (I guess)
There isn't a bed time, some of his 'best work' is done between 9pm and 2am.
Last year he was able to take his bike 2 miles up to the library during the day while I was at work. 2 miles is the distance he would need to go to the public school daily, just a different direction so I didn't see issue.
He is responsible for breakfast and lunch while I am at work.
He is allowed to go with swim team kids to activities and meets. Most times I just drop off for practice, I do go to all meets that I can (again depends on work).
I started to phase out the babysitter when he was 9, and he was fully capable of being independent by 10.5 yrs old. I realize not all kids develop on the same schedule.

I'm a single mom. I do it all. My 12 yr old knows where the important binder is, who the important people to call are, that type of thing. He knows - loosely- what path he wants to take up til college and he has an idea what type of university he wants to attend. The right people can help him get there.
My ex isn't involved and has no rights.

Seasons pass to something (ski lift tickets, pool pass, whatever he and his friends like)
Movie tickets (and $$ for snacks while there)
I-tunes cards
Starbucks cards
Kindle or Nook type thing and $$ to load stuff on it (this will probably have internet access so keep that in mind)
*I have a kid who likes to go hang out at places with his swim team friends but doesn't like to use 'his' money. So $5 or $10 gift cards to places make great gifts.
My kid also gets pedicure gift cards, he has horrible 'pool foot' from swim team and monthly pedicures are a must. We live in the desert and he swims outside all year long. GROSS :D

YES.... what do you want to know.

Hi- Im new but have been lurking for quite some time. DS never had individual subjects. I know what needs to be covered (in the back of my mind) for the next couple years and make sure we are actively working toward those ever changing goals.
For example, reading a level appropriate book about French history then doing some type of project about what he learned. The counts as reading/literature/history/possibly art/writing/ foreign language and depending on the project maybe applied math skills.
I have a background in education so I know what to expect from not only his age level but his working level.
Clear as mud - right?

My insurance paid close to 2k for DS evaluation many years ago.

AHCCCS has cut funding for most adults but talking to a social worker at the ER is a good starting place as well. (mental health services are even fewer these days).

Dumb questions- is the subway system electric? If so, someone turned that off, right??
