    My daughter does the same thing. We used to do every subject, everyday. But over time i let her be more in control of her learning. She now chooses for the most part to work on one subject per day. It works for her. What program do you use for German? My daughter did German this year for about...

    My 9th grader uses time4learning. The leasons are a bit cartoonish/corny, silly is not my DDs cup of tea but the lessons are good. I like it and they also have a parent forum.

    Has anyone tried duolingo.com for foreign languages? If so do you have any comments about it? I heard about it on letshomeschoolhighschool.com. It is free and offers many different languages. I signed up my 9th grader today, shes thinking of trying German.

    I see you are homeschooling an 8th grader as well! My DD is now a homeschooler and we will start for the first time just after the winter break.

My DD is so bright and ready to get started, she wants to eventually be ahead of her grade level and we have even talked about year round schooling (ish). Im going to try not to rush choosing but she's anxious lol...

    So my DD was withdrawn from public school yesterday and is now in my hands. Since we are part way through the year Im not sure if I should start up differently than someone might do at the beginning of a school year. I have been looking around at some of the online websites and the curriculums...

    I just wanted to jump in and introduce myself, I typically don't read or post on the non chicken related threads but on occasion BYC is a great place to find other support, I agree with @DMRippy in post number one stating that chicken people are just the best so I thought this might be a good...
