    YEAH!! Roomonthebroom, YEAH! LOVE it! So glad to hear you worked through it and decided yes. Glad she is liking it as well. Some do better at CC than in High school. Taking one class gets their feet wet. I liked that mine got their sciences with labs done at college. Challenging? Yes...

    For my first one, Algebra was not an issue. Second did ok. Third and fourth didn't like it! And it was really a ton of work to get through it. Both of them still struggle now at community college as their other scores weren't high enough to just take any course-math and others. They may just...

    hrfrds and chicken pickin, You are wise and smart to let them/her choose. As long as it gets done, don't fret the small stuff. If one subject isn't her favorite, try to find a way that makes it better for her. Even if it's unconventional to you but it works, go for it! Mine hated doing their...

    Sorry, Arielle and Roomonthebroom!Go to plan b or c or d or ....or just stop, grin, get everyone together and quit for the day to get out for a field trip.
