I think that homeschooled student should be able to participate in public school sports because the public school students need to learn how to work and play with people from different backgrounds and people who have had different experiences and those who may have different beliefs. Remember school is all about socialization. :)

my son has been taking byu is classes for 3 years. I agree that the math could be better, but the classes have been improving in that area. He enjoys moving at his own pace, also the electives have been great. :001_smile:

I was reading a news article about one of the candidates and it talked about his contributions to his church of stock he owned. I thought "this is news?". Then I remembered a event when I was a teen. I went to a friends church and they 'passed the plate' during the service. I was very surprised by this and some what confused because this is not something we do in my church.
So I was wondering how other faith-communities ( ie. churches, mosques, temples, fellowships etc.) hand collecting donations? Do some members give stocks?
It would be great if you could tell what faith community you are talking about.

Please no bashing. A friend made a comment to me tonight that had me saying , and wondering why she would say it. She said Mormons aren't Christians. Why? What am I missing? If you are Mormon, do you consider yourself a Christian or not?
I am a Mormon and I am a Christian.
I am a follower of Christ, at times not the best one but a follower just the same.
I have faith in Christ and believe that though His atonement I can be saved and return to live with My Heavenly Father again. I believe He died for my sins. I believe He is my Savior. I love Him and try each day to be more like Him. I grow in my faith when I read the scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price as well as the words of living prophets.
As to why some people do not see us as Christians, Well....
1. We have additional scriptures beyond the Bible.
2. We have a living Prophet, who receives revelation for our day.
3. We have a different understanding of the God Head ie. we do not believe in the Nicene Creed.
There are other reasons but I think these are the main ones, or at least the ones I hear most often.
Thank you for you time and questions.

2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.''
I find the Book of Mormon to be all that. I find it to be inspired of God, profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness. It helps me daily in my quest to do good works. But I am afriad the perfect part is still a long way off.
My testimony of and faith in Jesus Christ have been greatly strengthen by my study of the Book of Mormon.
I am sorry you have not found it so.

We have a Rottweiler and a two year old son with autism. The dog is wonderful with him. My son sits on the dog, pulls his ears, tail and anything else he can grab. The dog just puts up with it.
He is also very protective of my son. When he was crying because he did not like what his ABA teacher wanted him to do, the dog came upstairs and growled at the teacher. He was fine when I came and told him the teacher was okay and so was my son.
NOTE: we took our son with us when we checked out he dog. So we could see if the dog would be okay around him. Great dog, wonderful with our son.

Backstory- I have been homeschooling my son(16) and my neice(16) for 11years or so. We have been planning and saving for a big family/ graduation trip to Disney world for many years. My problem is that my dn is not on track to graduate next year, She has not been doing her work. she has the ability but just does not want to do it. So what should I do??
note; she does not live with us, most of the time & she has been to Disney 10x with her mother. DS has been twice with family

Trying giving him choices between something he likes and something he doesn't like. With my son I give him a choice between a apple slice ( he likes) and a pickle ( he does not like), the one he picks is the one he gets. It helps him to look and think about what he is chosing.
Just an idea. :001_smile:

I am going through Chemo and have had to skip one of my drugs because of it was not avilable. Not good. It makes my chances of beating this cancer that much slimmer. Not good, not good at all. :glare:

My DS is nonverbal. In the last 6 months he has lost the use of the few words He had. He is recieveing ST, OT and special Instruction from early intervention. In addition to language issuses, he has some sensory needs. He seems to be Hyposensitve, and needs lots of input. I am looking into a ADA program in our home.

I am glad that not all guidance counselors are as useless as the ones I have worked with.
What are the qualification and job description of a Guidance Counselor? When I was in school it seemed to be a place to put burned out teachers.
-
Has anyone every had a positive experience with a guidance counselor? Back when i was in school they were useless, my husband describes his the same. The guidance counselor we spoke to when we looked at the local public high school seemed, well, dim and uninformed. In our homeschool we have given the job of Guidance Counselor to the cat. She does the job as well as any person, we have ever had experience with.:confused:

Why?
Because I don't have time, money or energy for it.
I ware the clothes I have, I don't have the time or money to go shopping for new clothes.
I don't ware makeup again because of both time and money.
My hair style was chosen for utility in the hospital not for esthetics.
Note: I am dealing with a lot right now, Chemo, caring a parent with dementia, setting up services for a SN child..and so on.
Sorry if my lack of attention to my appearance bothers you, but I don't have the extra energy to care.:confused:

Somewhere peaceful, quiet with space to move, beautiful views and trees. Safe, no gangs and no shootings. A small town I think... NOT IN NEW YORK.... nice to dream about. :)
Seems like it's time for a roll call . . .
