Bummer. No A-levels for our local language. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Yes. I will look at some uni reqs and those links. Thx. Also could a uni that offers higher ed in our local lang somehow give credit like DE or transferred credit? And are you saying that taking the NLE could give him HS level credi in some admissions officers eyes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Oh and we conform to CO graduation requirements. I have no idea where he'll want to go to uni. STEM. The where is beyond me right now so I have to plan on the more side I guess! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Thanks all for your responses. Wow, this feels really rather complicated to me at the moment. Feels like the pushing we did to start Latin early can now be looked at (by colleges) as a con. He does have reading writing any grammar ability to match speaking and comprehension in the local language. With all that he wants to do STEM wise in HS I cant imagine he will choose 2-4 more years of HS level study. And Biblical Greek isn't a spoken language, so does it count the same as other foreign languages? Just wrapping my head around this! I feel like we have a lot of language and we maybe have to really push on further! SAT II does not test in our language. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I'm wondering how others have handled the state requirement for a foreign language credit. My ds 11 has finished Latina Christiana and both of Dwane Thomas' visual Latin sets and is a third of the way thru Henle I now at the end of 6th grade. We also live overseas and he is moderately fluent in the local language. So how does that work for counting towards HS credit? Do I count each? One? Neither, since they were both completed before Jr high? He doesn't have a desire to do much more of either language, nor to start another one (tho he will probably do a little Biblical Greek sometime in high school). TIA!

Life of Fred with TT
karenmsta replied to karenmsta's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Yep, I have been getting that idea from several threads. And it's good to see it confirmed again here. I did order LOF and AOPS algebra today. Ds liked the AOPS samples and loved the LOF samples. I guess my idea is that LOF can be keeping math fun when the going gets tough with AOPS. I foresee some real challenges for his attitude and tendency to want to give up when it looks like it'll take elbow grease. I won't sell the TT. But I don't think I'll let him think of it as plan B either. I think I'll also get Lial to have as a reference as he learns to solve his own problems. Thoughts on that?

We have "painting" from Sister Wendy Beckett and "Art", so could I stick with those? $ is def an issue and those Spielvogel 7th editions look great to me at $10. Also get World history Human odyssey? Or just one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

My ds11 is doing pre alg TT now and it's not challenging him. He loves math and wants to go into a STEM career so I want to make sure the conceptual parts are securely in each foundation, from multiple perspectives even. We did Singapore K-5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Omnibus users, what edition of Spielvogel do you prefer? And do you use Jansens art book or something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
