I have never had to wait that long for a new appointment. I agree that I would try to get on a cancellation list or ask for an emergency appointment, if need be. I will also add that the first time I went on antidepressants, my GP prescribed them. So, I agree that that is also another possibility.

Do you recommend the DVD or the print version?

Wow, there are shockingly few test centers in California. Our closest one in San Diego is an hour away. Also, do you guys enroll by actual grade or the grade level at which they are working?

I also posted about it on this board. For level one students, the second edition of the books combines everything into one volume.

I would love to hear your secular experience with TPS language classes after your dd is done.

DS5 was 2. He read them with a Montessori movable alphabet. We did Reading Eggs at 3 and started formal reading instruction with Progressive Phonics at 4.

This. It's my worst fear. Puberty and late adolescence is a critical time.

I had the exact same experience while living in Russia. Communal societies are interesting that way!

I would echo a lot of what has been said here, but would add SAM-e 400 mg. to the list of natural supplements.

Bumping this topic with a related article from the New Republic: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119321/harvard-ivy-league-should-judge-students-standardized-tests

Thank you so much for sharing all of your experiences. Sacha is doing well in Singapore, so it sounds like it makes more sense for us to keep plugging along into at least SM3 before considering Beast. I really appreciate the input.

If you did BA with your 6 year old, how did it go? Was it a gentle intro to AOPS-style learning? Did anyone have a rough go of it at first or was it a welcome addition/smooth transition? My DS5 and I are currently working through Singapore 2 with just the TB/IP/CWP. I have Zaccaro, Borac, and LOF/living math books for additional enrichment, but I think we may end up hitting Beast this year regardless, and I'd would love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Did you see this thread? http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/516909-elements-of-mathematics-could-this-replace-aops/

Following because I would love to know as well. I haven't seen much point either. We have a group of gifted kids that get together here locally for activities, and have found it to be beneficial.

Rose, I looked at it more closely and decided to go for it. Thank you! I added Write From History -- Level 1 Medieval Manuscript -- to coordinate with SOTW2. They are running a 40% sale on ebooks and 20% off hard copies. http://brookdalehouse.com/

I looked at this, but wonder if there is a lot of overlap between it and ELTL. Do you have any idea?

Awesome. Thanks. I think Friday brain burnout has overcome me. :)

We like Operation Math, Math Museum, and Sushi Monster.

I am looking at second grade. Is it really $85 per test?
