Ive read comments on a few blogs that state the child will not have learned the necessary geometry in time. I guess most of geometry isn't learned until the Advanced Mathematics course. I'm. not certain of this, so I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge or experience with this. Also, my daughter really dislikes Saxon so I was considering my options anyway.
So many people (even here) have said Saxon is not enough, That it is just procedural, not conceptual. My youngest was well known in her math department for having a deep understanding of math. She was a math major and graduated with high honors. And geometry is finished in the first part of the Advanced Math book, much is learned in Algebra 2. You could always use the separate geometry book if you are worried. But if she doesn't like Saxon you could change to something else. But would she like it any better?

Where are you reading this? My children did Saxon and did well on the SAT. Of course, none of them did the new digital SAT, but two of mine had almost perfect math scores. I do recommend doing a SAT practice book -- not so much for learning the math, but for learning how the questions are stated.

I had never heard of this before, but a child I was tutoring was talking about it.

I am confused by the choices made. I am not familiar with Saxon, but I thought advanced math was supposed to be precal??? My kids have never taken college alg but I thought it was alg 2.
The Saxon Advanced Math is Pre-Calc. But I am not certain what college algebra is considered, but I don't think it is pre-calc.

I just want to say that unless you are walking in gardenmom5's shoes, you cannot know what she is feeling. I have my Christmas stockings up and all 4 children's baby ornaments up. I have also lost a child and have one that has gone no contact. Some years I can; some years I can't. Regardless of how you think you will react, until you have been through the situation you actually have NO idea. Hugs gardenmom5. I do know the pain.

I love your cake! We are always our own worse critics. And frosting and piping always look good on bought cakes because they do it constantly!
You did a great job!

Just a few of the things I have been working on this month. We actually emptied my craft room to paint it and most of my time has been spent organizing it. The pink shirt I found in my craft room. It was my youngest daughter's when she was about 10. I repaired it to give to my granddaughter (her niece).

And they have so many other people, they don't care. It doesn't matter to them if my one doesn't show up.
This makes me sad. Because I would actually care. Our group is very small. I cared about each and everyone of those kids. I asked parents. I wanted feedback. All I got was the looking at all kinds of stuff on the phone and total disengagement.

Any thoughts on this?
Actually if you child has a disability and tech was the only way he would be comfortable at youth group, I would make an exception. BUT you would have to talk to me as the leader and explain. Exceptions can be made. If he was using the phone only for his Bible that would not be a problem. It the texting and looking at everything else that is a problem. I would never want anyone to not be there because they could not use a print Bible.

I will answer from the adult perspective. I have been involved with ministry to youth for a long time. We quit for a few years when my youngest went off to college. Missed it so went back after three years. Never going back again. Two years of trying with youth so addicted to phones they could not put them down was so frustrating I decided never again. It was never a problem before. I think shutting everything down for Covid has made this a huge problem even in the schools.

In our school district you must take the PSAT at the school you would be attending. Of course, if you can find a private one that still has openings you could always go there.

Play it safe. Someone my daughter knew took an unpopular stance on a subject (Christian at a non-Christian college) and received an F on the paper. Don't remember the reason given, but she could not recover from that to pull the grade to an A. Up until that time she had a 4.0. This was here junior year. And she pulled the grade to a B, but still it was hurtful.

I feel like my youngest is just now coming out of the Covid lockdown fog. She had some extra challenges. My oldest passed away at the end of her junior year of high school. They were 14 years apart but very close. Her senior year was awful; she isolated from everyone. She was finally starting to interact with people and do things at college (sophomore year) when Covid hit. Thankfully college was close so we could bring her home, but she shut down once again. After a year at work she is finally doing things with others again. Just a few weeks ago she told me her college experience was awful.

What makes them so great??
The dishcloths are fun to make and I can try new stitches. They make up fairly quickly. And the "bumps" from the stitches help with scrubbing.

I have been crocheting for a long time. Crochet dishcloths are the best! And hats, scarves, blankets are always being collected for something.

So this was finished earlier, but finally took pictures.

Have you seen the Ravelry site? If you search patterns for toy, free, crochet, and bulky yarn there are many patterns she can use. It might help make a comparison.

It may just be time to move on for him. He can play on rec teams as an adult.
My youngest was in choir and did solo contests for years. Her voice is amazing. She also played piano and competed with it. BUT senior year in high school she decided she was majoring in a STEM field (totally did not see that coming) and did not want to do anything musical in college. I tried to encourage her to do at least something since it had been her life for years. She was adamant. She graduated college over a year ago and just now wants to do something musical and has found a community choir to join.

Just a final update. Baby was born this morning at over 6 pounds. The family got to hold him and love on him for two hours before he passed. The doctors said it would be minutes but we were blessed with two hours. Beautiful baby.

Problems with CC- Is this the New Normal?

Actually I would say using a graphing calculator in high school and the entry math classes in college is indicative of a weak math program. After tutoring at a public high school for two years even the students taking the highest level classes and getting A's rely on the calculator and do not understand what they are doing.
