Biology for 9th or 10th grade?
Reefgazer replied to abidnginhim's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I don't think it matters one bit, but I do think chemistry and physics first make much more sense. -
Best 1st CC classes to try :-)

Something they choose and that the student is excited and interested in. -
Anyone using American History Odyssey (Level 3)?
Reefgazer replied to Kassia's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We are using it now, and doing it over two years at a leisurely pace because it is too much for 1 year. I absolutely love it, and it is very comprehensive; I feel there is real learning to be had from a course as meaty as HO Level 3 American. WE also used HO throughout Middle School. However, I have one whopping complaint about it: It is tough to schedule because some lessons are ridiculously long and some very short, making it tough to schedule unless you have very "free-form" organization at home. But even with all that, it is really the best history curriculum I have found out there. -
Alternative sources for news and social media

I trust the National Review and The Wall Street Journal; any of the others get a quick perusal to see what the crazies On neither side of the aisle I thinking. -
I’m so sorry.

I tried to contact you about an item for sale but it says you cannot receive messages.

This is worth setting an appointment with the dean of the science department to see if this can be waived. Community colleges are very personal and work hard to facilitate student success and get their students graduated.

Failed an AP class-repercussions?
Reefgazer replied to ShepCarlin's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
They're going to find out about it; it will be on the transcript or the midterm report. The student must 'fess up now and if the worst happens and they withdraw their offer, the student will have time to make alternate arrangements. -
Hadn’t heard of this, either, but it’s worth a try.

I haven’t heard of it, but I’ll check it out.

We did physics first, and also used the Novare book. DS is very math proficient and enjoys physics and chemistry more than biology. I do not think it would work well if the student was not algebra capable. It worked out very well for us, and I wish I had done that for DD, who graduated earlier, because it makes sense as long as the student is algebra capable.

I have a neutered adult male cat that I have had for 4 years; he's a sweet and adorable cat. I also began fostering a spayed female cat a few months ago; she is also sweet and adorable and loves humans. But cats...not so much, apparently. We tried to do the slow introductions behind a door, with one in a crate, etc... It was mess - female foster cat hissed, growled and screamed at my male when he approached with a submissive posture. So he slunk away. But like a bad blind date, he can't seem to take no for an answer and keeps approaching her, she commences hissing/spitting/growling, then
