Night Elf Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 if you are beyond that level yourself? Sometimes I go to the K-8 boards and see something I might weigh in on but with my kids in high school, I feel weird trying to participate. Not to mention that some things have changed since I was teaching at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yeah, sometimes, particularly if it's about Saxon or SOTW and how we used it. It makes me kinda sad, lately, tho, since we aren't homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You should still post if you want. My kids are a range of ages, so I probably sound schizophrenic when I post. I have a middle schooler, an early K-er and a couple in between. I'm used to seeing BOB Books stacked next to my daughter's prealgebra textbook. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't even homeschool anymore and I still post on all the boards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have a harder time on the K-8 board. So much curriculum has changed or what I used has been updated. I don't post much about curriculum. If whatever experience we had would be helpful, I will post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Yes, of course. I have the Experienced Homeschooler badge. I get to participate. :D Me too. :) I have homeschooled for 17 years--my children and other people's--and I was a PS teacher for several years before that. I have graduated a student who went on to excel in college, and I have another about to graduate and go to college. I have dealt with all types of children (and parents) through the years, so I consider myself qualified to answer some--but not all--questions and make certain recommendations.

Karen in CO Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I post on high school board sometimes because I have graduated one, but I don't homeschool my current middle school dd so I tend to stay off that board. Nobody wants to hear about how fabulous our Latin teacher is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Yes. Just because my kids are now in high school does not mean I can not answer specific questions others have about curricula I have used. I restrict my postings to curricula I am familiar with, or to topics where I feel my subject expertise can be helpful. There are mothers on the high school board whose children have graduated; they are a valuable source of knowledge and I am glad they decide to stick around and share their wisdom. ETA: Sometimes the perspective of somebody with older children is even necessary. For example: if somebody is seeking to start a math curriculum series in middle school, it is relevant to know how the series continues in high school, and how things work out. The people who are all just starting with the series' pre-algebra program do not have this insight. Or, as another example: a person seeking to prepare a student for high school sciences needs the advice of somebody who is familiar with high school level science, not just the viewpoint of others with kids in middle school. Just like I, with high school students, appreciate the insight mothers of college students can share about college prep and application process.
