High School English Credit

Starting 9th grade in the fall, I'm concerned about the Rod and Staff Building Securely portion of Grammar credit. I love Rod and Staff BUT based on Rod and Staff's Scope and Sequence Chart it is a 7th grade level program, not 9th. Which I believe will not be an approved core course for our college-...

Re: prayers please

Thank You for the prayers and words of encouragement! I had my 1st IV fluid replacement in the ER yesterday, doing a bit better today than earlier this week. Just wanted to say thank you- it's great to relate to others

prayers please

Haven't been on the boards in a bit! I am just asking for some support prayers. I am 12 weeks pregnant with my 5th baby and have hyperemesis. I'm sure somebody had had it. It is much more than normal morning sickness. Starting at week 6 I was vomiting at least 5 times daily, losing about 2 or more l...

Help me not give up! NOT doing well

I have written before here about how hard it is to hs my family. I do not feel respected by my children- they seem demanding, angry and throw fits about school. This is all day. I am so busy with all the character issues I cannot even focus on what needs to change and how to change it. To make thing...

Reviews and Assessments

I am curious as to how some of you assess the information being retained by the kiddos. Math and Grammar are easy as the skills build on one another. How about all the other stuff? History and what not? Any ideas for reviewing and testing? What do you all do? We never really did anything but now tha...

teaching/learning style ?

I am in a bit of confusion here. I absolutely love HOD's layout and vision. However, I have been struggling with teaching it to my Preparing student. She has always been "difficult" and I am in need of help discerning whether she is being defiant and not actually understanding the material and it's ...

need HELP with the attitude sin

I have a 9 1/2 yr dd in Preparing and man she is difficult. that is the best word I can come up with. We are very similar in personality so I can relate very well to her (although I don't always let her know this) because i want to help her strengthen in those areas. She is a perfectionist, very lit...

Re: HoD vs MFW

annaz said it best "it would depend upon your beliefs or needs. I realize MFW works great for some people. I feel HOD is completely Christian and it shows it is their main focus. As MFW uses bookbasket, you could do the same with HOD for money reasons, just like instead of using a library you could ...

additional phonics needed?

We are in unit 5 of The Reading Lesson and loving it! My son is finishing K (almost 7yrs) I am curious about phonics? Is the point of "phonics" to just learn how to read? And I know it helps with spelling too. But is TRL enough phonics teaching? I think some programs go way overboard with all the ru...
