lots of little ducklings Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 My super-smart highly-trained long-lost faraway friend is driving all of her Barton stuff (every single level, every single dvd, every single everything) up to me at the end of the month. And here I've been stressing for months about the next steps for my Maybe Dyslexic. God is so organized. I really should stop worrying. :thumbup1: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 :iagree: There are some things I'm sure we'd all agree on as having great significance, but that's just not one of them. For some reason people here like to be brutally judgemental. I imagine it's because we can't talk to people like that in real life. I talk on here the same way I do in real life, meaning areas/topics that I come across brash or judgemental on here...yeah I do in person too, because I write how I speak, mostly...I mean I swear less on the board than I do in real life and I can not tell a person on the board when they are acting like a psycho hose beast the way I would irl without getting banned, so yeah. My board self is actually nicer than my real self....hmmm, I may have to consider the ramifications of that... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining Pineapples Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, I've never made scones. But, I can do breads and cakes - banana nut, banana without nut, pumpkin bread, apple (or other fruit) coffee cake, wheat breads, other breads, other cakes, etc... Can I still come? Yum!

Renai Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I thought the same thing. So was she asking about something called Google Now? Is that a thing? (Yes, I could google it but it would defeat the purpose of asking here.) Yes, apparently there is such a thing: Google now That's right, they use the lower case "n" - which my grammarOCD can't handle. It will bug me. I'm twitching. Oh, hold up. I totally misunderstood. I thought she was asking if anyone used google now, as in right at the moment. I had no idea there was such a "thing." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Great idea about the LEGOS! I never thought of that, and I'm pretty sure my dc would get possessive as well.

AMJ Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 WTMCassandra e-mailed me her transcript. I took out her names and put ours in plus our grades of course. I'm about two years behind though. I mean, I have the grade books but I need to make it official looking. We follow basic high school / college prep type class choices though with the exception of continuing the 4 year history cycle so 9th grade has Ancient history and then Ancient literature; 10th grade has Medieval history and Medieval Lit. etc. Plus a few electives. Well, that all sounds manageable. Do you give class grades, or just list the courses on the transcripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You need help. You sound indecisive, which is the worst problem to have, IMO. Once you decide and plan, it is easier to implement. Stuff happens and things may not go exactly as planned, but it will be close enough. We can help if you want to get all specific. We love to be bossy boots about other people's lives. :D It's more a problem of still figuring out this whole homeschool thing. I've got down what I'D like to cover and how, but my DDs keep changing in how they best learn and so I end up having to switch strategies. Top that with things like deaths (and the associated funerals), getting sick enough to go to an ER, and other unexpected life events and I often find many of the alterations I make are in order to adjust to unexpected interruptions that don't always finish in just a day or two. I'm really detail oriented, too, and I have to be careful not to let myself get too caught up in all of the nitty gritty planning or I will ONLY plan and not get anything else (including teaching the current material) accomplished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well, that all sounds manageable. Do you give class grades, or just list the courses on the transcripts? Most classes like math get grades just based on how many right/wrong on assignments and tests. Straight percentage. Classes like history and lit. still get grades based on assignments graded with rubrics. A couple of things like Classical guitar are pass/fail or just don't get a grade as such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Ooooo, those old paper-strip calculators! I love those! They can be very handy when you have to handle a LOT of numbers because the strip records what you typed in. Your answer doesn't agree with the key or your friend's answer? Examine the strip to see where you went wrong. I want a scientific calculator (especially if it's RPN) that does this.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a "thing" for me, okay? :confused1: :confused1: :confused1: How do you twerk someone else? I thought it was a "dance" move. Did you twerk at her, or .... Twerking (shudder). Just say No. Good grief. Now my brain went to the "Erk Off" concept (yeah, sounds bad in that way, too) in which one "dancer" twerks and one does the Jerk, and then Stephen Erckle pops in.... *must sanitize brain* What has been seen (even in imagination) cannot be unseen.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
