  1. But, why??? How did they earn that spot? SWB gained it through publication of a popular homeschooling how to book. Memoria Press and Classical Academic Press and veritas press all have full curriculum lines.
  2. I’ve read on Facebook about Circe refusing to update links in the latest printing of a Cindy Rollins’ book. Explain Circe to me in general. They only publish a single writing program (that we used one year and I thought was the worst homeschooling purchase I’ve ever made). They host very expensive zoom calls for people wanting to classically homeschool. They host very expensive apprenticeships. What is their claim to fame that makes people want to pay them for training? I just don’t get it?
  3. We used it in our co-op this year and the experiments... whew. Several years ago, I used Quality Science Labs for biology with my oldest for high school. The kit included everything and it was easy to implement. They sell a middle school physical science set. I haven't used it and can't vouch for it, but that's our plan if we use Novare Physical Science again!
  4. There is a homeschool graduation ceremony that we are planning to attend and you can wear whatever color cap and gown you want. We are kind of stuck on what color to get. We belong to a co-op that has used black and orange for colors. So, we thought about getting a black gown with orange tassel. We've alos thought about going a bit wilder with an orange cap and gown. My daughter also likes light blue. I figure that's about as good a reason as any to pick a color. Ravenclaw colors? I feel like blue and silver might be nicer for photographs than orange or light blue. The college she's planning to attend has purple as one of their colors as does the community college she currently attends. And she likes purple. I don't know! Help me make the important educational decisions here, people!
  5. I did levels 1-4 of Nancy Larson and it was probably the most successful science program we ever used at home. It is pricey, though. Even replacement worksheets for consecutive kids are pricey.
  6. We started with the Old Testament and had made it all the way to Ephesians. I then realized that the pdf download I had has huge white blocks covering the majority of the books post Ephesians. I went to the link in my email to attempt to download it again. I guess they did away with their old website so the link no longer works. I contacted twice. Second time I got a response asking if it was the new or old version and worst case scenario they'd send me a new link. I asked them to please send me a new link. They never sent it. It's just incredibly frustrating that we've worked on this for so long and I guess it will never be finished. And it wasn't particularly cheap for a pdf download either.
  7. I’ve been listening to “This Week in Virology” since the pandemic began. They think there is evidence that this needs to be a three shot series. They don’t see good evidence for the bivalent booster.
  8. I'm doing a talk for my co-op on homeschooling high school. I'd like to end on a positive note of why homeschooling high school is a worthwhile endeavor. I've come up with a few things I would say personally, but thought I'd toss out the question and see if anyone has anything else to say!
  9. Sorry… should say college algebra. She’ll have algebra 1 and 2, geometry, and college algebra. She also has two years of Bible. I’m trying to think if I’m forgetting anything else.
  10. We are finalizing classes for 12th grade. My daughter has taken the following dual credit classes: Spanish 1 and 2, psychology, government, and archeology. She has taken the following sciences at home: biology, astronomy, chemistry. Next year she wants to take the following: English and World History at co-op Algebra, Geology, Environmental Science, Texas History dual credit at our local community college. She will have 4 years of English, speech, art appreciation, 4 math, American history, geography, modern world history, world history. Do we need a normal physics and economics class in there somewhere? She wants to major in English.
  11. I've looked at this a couple of times from mentions here. Is it mostly all lapbooking? We have quite a few students who struggle with fine motor skills and tend to get super frustrated with too much crafting. And, we also have an art class where they are forced to do some of that already.
  12. How many lessons are in mystery science? Is it something we could only use for one year? Or are there multiple years of lessons?
