Sad, but I want them to know the other theories. <br /><br />Thank you for commenting - I LOVE talking to you!<br /><br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-42624644206560191222018-02-06T09:32:10.785-06:002018-02-06T09:32:10.785-06:00Ohh, love the key fobs love them.

Are all the home school science things big on creation stuff? I never knew that.

It just doesn't make any sense to me. The schools were one of the reasons we left the Lone Star State, actually. It's not that they are bad academically, in fact, some are excellent. It's the culture which they breed within the walls that disgusted us--from the top, down. Fit in or get out. <br />Our state is excellent in working with homeschoolers, at least in our district. I'll be honest, my eldest is not much of a student. He detests school, and he's a junior. I really didn't see him graduating--do you have any idea how hard that is for two college educated parents to stomach? But, when I asked if there was anything at all we can do, do you know what the administration answered? "Yes, there are HUNDREDS of things we can do." And they are doing them, with my son. They're not punitive, they are custom made ways to keep a bright, disinterested kid involved. They really don't care if he gets his education under a bridge. They just want him to get an education. Because of them, he is finally thinking college might be an option, if only dipping his toe in at the community college.<br />I love the Episcopalian key fobs! (My church, btw.)

If you homeschool, you cannot go to public schools for anything, not even extra - curriculum. Good idea with the college bookstore. I will check that out.<br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-33961505262177006822018-02-03T11:31:15.470-06:002018-02-03T11:31:15.470-06:00What kind of embroidery machine do you have?

Like you, I found it was very hard to implement. My suggestion: If using the public school is not an option, go to the local community college's bookstore, and buy one of their lab manuals. So, if you're teaching biology, buy the first 100 level biology lab manual (Bio 101). For chemistry, it would be Chemistry 121, probably, something like Principles of Inorganic Chemistry, or Chemistry for the Health Sciences. You don't have to purchase it at their bookstore, you can get the information, and order it online. That would give you experiments you could do, with calculations, to supplement the theory you are teaching.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.com
