Capt_Uhura Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I know it's only been a short while but I was reflecting on the new Logic Stage subforum. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I think it has fostered more focused discussion of logic stage issues due to the pages not moving so quickly. But I also still read and post at the K-8 board since my bookmark goes there first so I quickly scan the first page to see if there is something of interest to me or if I can aid someone else. I can quickly determine if I need to click the 2nd page. Then I move to the Logic subforum. I give this new forum two thumbs up!

Saille Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I can already see that it's going to be extraordinarily useful, and push conversations in a new direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keniki Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I don't do a lot of posting here, just a lot of reading, but I too really appreciate this subforum. My children are 6th grade and 7th/8th grade so this has been really helpful to have "one stop shopping". :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J'etudie Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Love it. I've been reading/planning/looking ahead to the logic stage. This subforum came at the perfect time for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It is now the first place I go on WTM forums each day. It is so nice to have some collective wisdom concentrated on this age group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Roller Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 But I also still read and post at the K-8 board since my bookmark goes there first so I quickly scan the first page to see if there is something of interest to me or if I can aid someone else. I can quickly determine if I need to click the 2nd page. Then I move to the Logic subforum. I give this new forum two thumbs up! Capt_Uhura :iagree:I do the same thing! I think this is a great sub-forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Because I have just the one child at home (a middle schooler), being able to come to this subforum is a great time-saver and resource for my particular needs. So, YES! I love and appreciate it. It's been especially nice to open threads about writing lately, knowing that the conversation taking place is happening between people that are probably having the same joys and concerns I am having. At the same time, I can't help but think that splitting the forum somewhat must simplify things for the other ages/stages, as well. After all, "Talk to me about writing" usually warrants a different response in grammar stage than logic stage. Also, just like a grammar stage poster pointed out, she can poke her head in here to help in her planning, in the same way that we logic stagers poke our heads into the highschool threads. If nothing else, it's always good to know when and why to start panicking, right? ;) Thank you to all who are continuing to make this board better all the time. We are muddling along just fine right now at our house, but I promise I'll step in when I have a question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I too think it's great and that it has allowed for more indeapth discussion. Fantastic addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Love it! I still pop in both places; the subforum format allows that easily. This board feels like "home" now though, really relevant and feeds my brain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiobrain Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It is PERFECT! I do the K-8 first, then come here... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It has slowed down the pacing of the K-8, making it more accessible again for those of us who are not as fast as we used to be. The new forum allows time for more conversation and not just curricula reviews. Thanks again to SWB and those members who lobbied for the new forum.

Capt_Uhura Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes Swimmermom!! I didn't know if it was just my perception or if it had slowed the pace of the K-8 board, but it's a good thing! Posts aren't getting buried and lost. The conversation has been outstanding! I feel so lucky to belong to a community of such bright, intelligent women and men who care about the education of their children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have so enjoyed the discussions on this sub-forum. I quickly scan the threads on the main forum and then come here to breathe in deeply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I really appreciate having this subforum available. At long last, others who are interested in discussing middle school physics over and over and over...!:tongue_smilie: (I'm still undecided, but narrowing in on a short list!) Thank you for providing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellieMI Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I am also excited about this subforum. I've been a lurker for years and now that my oldest is 10 (I know, not really that old!) I feel he is able to produce some of the recommendations in WTM. Of course, I've been ready since he was 5:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisabees Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Loving it! And it came at a fabulous time, with ds11 coming home in January. I think this subforum will help forge stronger connections between the parents who use it. I'm looking forward to that. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I love it because I need the most help w/my older two. And I certainly don't need to be buying any more curriculum for my youngest even if it's the newest and shiniest curriculum out there.

Jen the RD Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Love the fact that I don't have to weed through pages and pages of threads to find the few that appeal to our stage of learning. And as other posters have mentioned, I think that it has helped the K-8 board as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
