It's not too late to start homeschooling. It's probably just right because middle school is when kids get bored and get into mischief and don't learn as well as they could. If you want some oversight into what you're doing, look into Clonlara. They may let you do your own curriculum, but oversee the work for grading, etc. Oak Meadow is another group, like Calvert that has it's own books, etc, and you send the work and tests in to be graded. Unlike Calvert, I think it is a secular program.
gotta bail for now...
Clare and I didn't either, until we were watching the credits and saw his name. We had to go back to the beginning of the movie to watch for him. When we realized who we was we just howled laughing!
Not that that makes the movie worth watching...quite. But I admit it's WHY I agreed to watch it the time I did...
Is this our FOURTH Christmas holiday in the Hole?
Not quite. I just checked. The New Zealander thread started in January '02.
He didn't make that movie worth watching. But he made that movie a little less painful, anyway...
The show's ok. In small doses. Let's not talk about the movie.
I'm torn. On the one hand, the winter wonderland outside is beautiful. On the other hand, the roads are ice rinks, the temperature won't approach freezing, and I have to walk a quarter-mile with no shelter from the wind to class in a bit... do I like snow, or not?
Ahhh...
Three winter seasons together.
Where's OT? Still on vacation?
She's back. Just quiet.
Lunchtime!
Gee, I wish I'd cooked last night. I'd rather have leftovers than tuna salad.
I'm thankful that tuna salad exists, though, for the times I forget to plan ahead.
What's a good name for a young goblin - a nicer sort of goblin than Tolkien types?
Squabble. Or Lutefisk. A real word that sounds kind of silly. Origami.
Hi,2J! It has been lightly snowing here all morning, but it is not sticking to the roads, thank goodness. We only have about an inch and the weathermen said the snow should end shortly.
I was fixin' to come up there with a shovel!
Oh, wait...my car doesn't work...
Well, it's the thought that counts, right? LOL
;-)
'zat how JK Rowling got "squib"?
I think that's how she got a lot of words and names... but "squib" is singularly appropriate, don't you think?
Yep.
I keep forgetting that I'm allowed to make up words for my own stories.
Very nifty, that.
