There are a lot of free videos here - or you can pay to access more support materials. https://conceptualacademy.com/ Lots of supplemental labs and next time questions on the Arbor Scientific website under conceptual physics. https://www.arborsci.com/ I would start with all the free materials.

My son did a lot of work with Hear Builder phonemic awareness and it was very good for him.

6 schools with $50-75 fees. ACT fees. CSS Profile feed. Then there was the cost of actually taking the tests and visiting the schools....

I think one and done is fine IF you have already explored your other options AND your first choice fits financially as well as being your first choice. My son applied to several schools, but he applied to his first choice early decision. We found out in December that he was admitted and received his financial aid package. It was all good so we pulled out of the application process at other schools.

I used the direct retrieval tool last year and still had to upload a physical copy of our taxes.

Well, what I did with my high schooler was turn to online Brave Writer classes. They were expensive, but excellent at meeting him (and every student) where they were and moving them along in their writing. As far as I can tell, the grading is not against other students, but against your own improvement as well as turning things in on time and following instructions. Brave Writer takes my student's writing and gives them feedback so that they can tremendously improve, but does so in a way that they are not telling the student what to do. What my kids have learned through BW carries over to other writing and now into college for my non-writer.

Me too!

Hugs. No advice as I'm sure your decision is already made.

I just put on the form that my son had no income and did not file taxes. We did not get anything from the IRS.

My son is doing Latin through KET online. He is in his 2nd year of Latin. https://www.ket.org/education/online-campus/ It is self-paced even though it has a schedule laid out to work through. You can go at any pace you want. It is not intense nor is it the most fun, but it is well-done. The teaching is all by video lessons and mostly online homework. There are once a month mandatory help sessions and help is an email away for any questions - they are very fast at responding. It is reasonably priced for all and cheap for KY residents.

How so? I simply don't know what you are referring to.

I could make an argument either way. Generally, I'm in the camp of let the student follow their passions in high school. This would mean geology for your son. This could lead him down some different paths in college electives if he finds he really likes this. However, many students struggle with college chemistry for majors if they have no chemistry background. I think it would be very helpful to get some background in chemistry before tackling it in college.

I don't think all is lost. The geometry book is long and hard. If she can get through chapters 5 and 6, then she'll be able to keep going. I don't think you have to cover it all to call it a geometry credit. Most books don't cover nearly that much material. Looking forward, chapter 13 is hard to grasp completely. Analytic geometry is a great chapter combining algebra and geometry, but is not usually covered in a geometry course. The last chapter of challenging problems wouldn't have to be finished to call it a geometry credit. I wouldn't mind continuing along and calling it a geometry credit. From there she can move on and continue to work through the geometry book if she wants. If you want to look at something else, one of my kids left AoPS and went to Derek Owens - he started at precalc and now is doing calculus. (My oldest did AoPS all the way through).

I'd love to hear about the class and teacher, but I agree about the scores. A select group of students take AP Physics C, and even fewer take E&M. These are definitely harder courses, but since you already have to be in calculus it is taken by a more select group. This is also why the Calculus BC scores are higher than Calc AB.

We did meningitis and flu. I'd tell a college student about the pros and cons of HPV and let them decide.

I'd pick up where you left off and do a years work and call it French 2. As noted above, what is considered French 2 varies widely from school to school.

In general, colleges will want to know the last four years of coursework. If you skip her ahead to 9th grade, that is fine if your plan is to graduate her early. I would NOT ADD an additional year of high school. Lots of bright kids do "high school" level work in 8th grade. I don't think there is a right or wrong for your situation, but I would carefully consider the endpoint. You want 4 years of "high school". You can either set her up to be doing more advanced work in 12th or dual enrollment OR you can set her up to graduate early. While a gap year is a fine choice for some, I would not set her up to take a year off before college unless that is what your first choice is to do. In that case, you can take a gap year regardless of if she graduates early or not.

I agree that I would not rush ahead just to plan a gap year. I would keep on the course you've planned and not worry that courses in 7th don't count for high school. That's because she isn't in high school yet. When you start advanced courses early, you set up your child to be able to take either more advanced courses in high school or more time to pursue passions. This will make your student more competitive for scholarships going into college. That said, if you want to accelerate your daughter, your plan looks fine with maybe some tweaking in the later years as you know better what she wants to do.

My son dropped a planned AP class and substituted something else. He was planning on taking AP Physics Mechanics in the fall and AP Physics E&M in the spring. They were both listed as planned senior year courses. He dropped the spring AP course and took an online Art of Problem Solving course instead - a bonus math class. We simply informed the college in the mid-year report and it was not a problem.

Your situation is not normal. The number of appointments you are having is normal. Typically there will be a parent interview, followed by 2-3 days of testing of the child and then a follow-up interview to discuss the results. Oftentimes, all these appointments are scheduled on day 1 or at the parent interview. It is ridiculous to string you out and not be scheduling all your appointments in a timely manner. They also should have told you all of this at the initial appt.

I sent ACT scores to most the schools before the application and none had a problem linking them together. You can submit the student portion of the common app whenever you are done.

Well, you are the parent and ultimately in charge of her schooling. You have to decide what is best for your daughter to do, and I it sounds like you already know what she needs to do - miss science classes. When approaching a friend-teacher in this circumstance, I'd lay out my concerns first. I really don't want to hurt your feelings blah, blah, blah... It's no reflection on you as a teacher... My daughter really enjoys your class, etc. HOWEVER commitments to another class - Latin - are going to keep her from attending some of your classes. In addition we already had a vacation scheduled prior to knowing she'd miss these other classes... Ultimately, you are using this science class as one piece of her science education. You are in charge of how to educate her and her grades. For an outside class commitment, you should keep the agreement you made - pay the teacher, do any required volunteering, etc. Some classes like drama, it is more dependent on the student being there so that everyone can practice. Attendance requirements should be laid out up front for those classes. For science, I'd make sure it is known that you don't expect her to slow down or give your daughter special treatment. Also that her missing the classes is not a reflection on the teacher, but just due to other class and family commitments. It can be tough dealing with friends and dealing with homeschooling flexibility. Unlike other schools, you are not putting all the responsibility of educating your daughter in the hands of other teachers.

I think I added mine as an additional transcript last year. It all gets put into one big pdf file so I"m not sure that it would look much different if you add it as a transcript vs as an additional counselor report.

Derek Owens - it also has the advantages of help from him if you want and you can pay by the month and stop anytime you want if she gets back to teaching.

We like Derek Owens for math and he just opened up his Python class that he has taught live for years to online students. I don't know much about it as we haven't done it, but my son is interested in doing it.
