I agree that they seem almost classic now. As I was reformatting them it gave me a chance to reread a lot of them and appreciate, once again, all the wisdom that was shared on those boards. I hope many of you will go back to revisit the fabulous discussions - just don't get all caught up in a melancholic moment like I did...
Anyhow, as for Megan and public school - she likes it for the social aspect, but feels it is way too easy. All these years (in spite of reading all the reassurances about homeschooling) I still wondered if she was keeping up with her age level. I had NOTHING to worry about! I'm proud to say that she is not only keeping up, but she is going to take a couple more math classes here at home this year (Pre-calculus & Statistics) because she wants to go to a math camp at Ohio State later this year and those two classes (along with Algebra I & II and Geometry) are strongly encouraged. Alas, we didn't know that in January when she enrolled and it's way too late for her to jump in to the Pre-calculus and Statistic classes at her school now. So, there's yet another positive reason to homeschool. It offers your kids the chance to take additional classes on their own if they enroll in high school and can't get all the classes they want there; and yes, like you said, having that choice.
Well... I've got to go babysit for my nieces and nephews so I'll close now. Take care DMX, Giovanna, and everyone else. I'll see you around.
