For surely if a thing is doable, it is likely to be done with great regularity. 04) Thou shalt not stress about the non-doable thing which thou doth not do (regularly or at all) 05) Honor the above commandments and make them foremost in the agenda that thy days as a sane HSer may be long. 06) Remember the Day(s) of Downtime and observe it(them) that thou may keep sane. 07) Thou shalt not kill the will to learn in your charges. Whether they be prepubescent, pubescent or postpubescent. 08) Thou shalt not curriculum hop frivolously (know when to hold 'em) 09) Thou shalt evaluate each week and seek exit strategies when needed. (know when to fold 'em.) 10) Thou shalt not covet a fellow HSers goals/journey/curriculum/schedule/accomplishments/approach etc. I originally posted them here. but that thread has been inactive for years and I'm not sure what the policy is on reviving old threads so I'm reposting this here (in a slightly updated version) by request of @JumpyTheFrog 25 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks Gil. BTW, is your username pronounced "gill" (like a fish gill) or "Jill"? For some reason it bothers me that I might be pronouncing it wrong in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 How about: "Thou shalt not buy high school textbooks when your student is in elementary, because they are used and a bargain, expecting to use them in a few years. You won't. It will sit on a shelf for 10 years and then you will donate it to the library." 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
