      We are hoping to be up to doing some initial Roman and Greek history in time for the girls to get to visit Greek and Roman ruins in Spain and maybe Italy while we are there so that they can get some tactile enforcement of the concepts and locations. We might visit Greece while we are over there, depending on our schedules.

        We did a lot of listening to pod casts etc. for multiple subjects.

        Was the enriching? Or did you also have hands-on work to do to reinforce the information for the pod cast?

        Yes we did we went looking for pod casts that matched what we were doing in a subject. It did help.

          Oklahoma is voting to potentially drop AP classes because they are too similar to the Common Core!

            I can't wait until we are learning about American rail history. We plan on doing some model railroad projects and riding the rails from Chicago to California to explore the old rail trails.

            Nerd alert.

            Kidding, I love trains, seriously, and when my youngest daughter said she liked trains, she became my favourite 😉

                    Sorry, meant for that to work, lol. That site is often used for testing of the NodeBB updates so it breaks more than the others.

                        We use the low priority communities for that 🙂

                            Maybe once there are advertisers and sponsors, but as long as the site is purely a community effort.... paying for extra capacity isn't in the cards I don't think.

                                    There's the one hand that wants to homeschool our daughter for all purely selfish reasons: I don't want to get up early every day, I want to go on vacation when I want to go on vacation, and I am paranoid about the types of kids/situations in public school.

                                    Then there's reality that says in no way am I disciplined enough to homeschool our daughter, I need me time without kids in order to function as a civilized human most of the time, and she is so excited about going to kindergarten that she can't hardly stand it.

                                    If I could find a situation where someone else could homeschool my kid, that would be great. 😆

                                      @NetworkNerdWifey there are kids that just NEED that social interaction at school. Nothing wrong with that. Not every personality is cut out to spend 24/7 with their kids. Every kid is different in what they need.

                                        @scottalanmiller As soon as I register I can see the entries anymore, apparently I don't have access. Also, ever consider combining the user system or linking them like StackExchange? That's what I'd do, and I'll do it if you pay me to 😉

                                          That's pretty weird. I think that I need the NodeBB guys to look at that one.
