luuknam Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I think I'm dying of death. Which is why I've been on ITT all day instead of doing all the things. All the things can be done tomorrow. Argh! I agree. Though I'm not sure what the dying of death thing is about. Are you not feeling good? I hope you feel better soon? I just wasted an entire day on here (and on YouTube, and on Buttershots... wonder when I can drive to B&N... I'm pretty sure I'm below the legal limit, but I'm not sure I should be driving), but I don't have kids this week, so this is definitely the time to waste time. Though maybe not on here discussing next year, lol. Edited because I wrote discussion *again* instead of discussing. See, I need to waste more time before I'm safe to write, at least.

Ellie Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Some places don't have a minimum age/grade, iiuc. I haven't memorized the details yet, other than things are really variable across the US. In California, it's up to the individual community college, and it varies widely even in the same geographic location. My dds attended one that accepted students as young as 14; they were not dual-enrolled, either. They were "student under 18 not enrolled in high school." They paid the same tuition as adult students (which is crazy inexpensive in California) and they earned college credit. Dual-enrolled students at this c.c. did not earn college credit; they earned high school credit. Once they graduated from high school, they didn't have to repeat the classes they had already taken, but they had to take classes that equaled the amount of credit they had earned for high school, IYSWIM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 That sounds awkward. Mine just have quadrupod or immature tripod grips that aren't quite right, iirc. Basically, they're normal grips, just not age appropriate. Of course, they're not here to check. Quad grip is a valid grip, and there are two tri grips if I remember correctly.

luuknam Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Okay mom, I went outside and played. Okay, not really. I walked to the playground we spotted on the way home from camp though. It's actually quite close - I'm not sure why I hadn't spotted it on Google Maps, but I'm not going to bother to look it up right now. The only problem is that the kids would have to cross a fairly busy road to get there, so I can't send them alone (but I could potentially walk them across the road and then go back home and wrap up some things I needed to do... not for too long, of course... not sure it'd be worth it). If my almost 10yo wasn't on the spectrum I *might* consider letting them go without me... but he *is* on the spectrum, and while he has been going to the playground alone crossing quiet residential roads, he hasn't been in charge of Broccoli while doing so, and being together could be a big distraction. Maybe a year from now (though we plan to move when our lease is up). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then sometimes I think I'm making this huge old mess of it and why not just leave it as is. I have the original I bought as a PDF and then I'm just copying and cutting and pasting and I have about 5 copies I tweaked..... somebody save me from myself.

I'd want to know why it was corrected the way it was, not just get it right because it sounded better. Well, I think they do tend to teach it before expecting kids to correct it. But, I want them to be pretty solid in knowing the right thing before exposing their brain to fixing the wrong way.

AMJ Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Actually, make some videos of yourself for your loved ones (you can still write letters also). Also, you should write a will now and just update it on a regular basis. About videos meant to be kept and viewed a long time from now: Revisit them every 5 years or so to see if they need to be moved to a new media or format. Technology changes over time, and long-term storage and retrieval methods change, too. When I was working data management part of what we contended with was data stored on old media. It does little good "archiving" material to disks that will last 50 years when the technology for reading those disks is no longer available and supported after 25 years. This phenomenon has sped up over time, so it is worthwhile to look at how all of your treasured documents, pictures, videos, audio files, etc. are stored and make new back-ups on the latest media and in the latest formats. Keep the old archives just in case, but update to maintain your ability to read/see/hear them again in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Let me tell you why I'm not participating in the educational posts. Dd started out the year healthy and strong in mind and body. And then her health started to go sideways. And what started out being at least five productive hours of school ended up being one or two hours by the end. I couldn't push her more because she didn't have more to give. And so now we're in summer and she's in camp all day and we still aren't done with last year's stuff. Also- I was doing a lot of juggling my Aspie's first year of college this year and so I wasn't as free as I thought I would be to give her all my attention. Right now I'm doing a marathon grading / monitoring session (which will go on for days) just to see where we are and where we need to go just to finish up last year. So I'm not in a place to think of next year. I'm actually giving myself lots of bonus points for not just going back to bed and pulling the covers up over my head. Five gajillion bonus points for that. "Tain't easy, that's fer shur! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
