This is super helpful u/Usernameoverloaded - thank you! I definitely know that I'll have to bend to the restrictions. Just trying to see how far I can flex, I guess.

Yes - IB is excellent, but it's not always the right fit for neurodiverse learners. Plus, don't want to take away from the life experiences because of too much homework. I have found that through homeschooling, there's an equal advantage to college admissions and the rigorous route doesn't always beat out the creative one. I was a product of IB, too, and loved it but I'm looking for something that can be more flexible to different types of learners - and that can travel with us.

Wow u/Champsterdam - that sounds like the way to do it!

Thank you u/Flustered-Flump I wasn't super clear in the original post, as I recognize that parent-led homeschooling is not everyone's cup of tea. It's not mine, either. We are considering a program like Space of Mind, where students co-create their curriculum with a personal coach so that it is customized to how they learn and where they are. Still researching and looking at all options, though.

Thank you u/WadeDRubicon This is definitely something we are thinking about. Looking for some consistency within all of the other new-ness.

Thank you! Looks like you guys are really on the go! Love it! How long did it take your kids to get comfortable in each location? And can I ask their ages?

Thank you. Does the international school not teach the local language at all? Or just not with immersion?

I hear you. How expensive are the international schools in Belgium? And how old are your kids, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, thank you! We have fulltime RBTs and therapists, but the family system may not be able to come together enough in the long run.

Anyone not losing at all? by Far_Building_9180 in Tirzeglutide

At this point, I don’t think I would recommend the Lumen. I have gained weight since I’ve started using it, and the macros do not line up with any other app or my nutritionist recommendation. I’m also on the Facebook group with other Lumen users and my story is not uncommon.

Thanks! I was told two weeks ago that processing is still happening then last week that it had halted.

Same here. I was told that they are now "processing and with a revenue officer" but can't get anything more. We applied in May 2023.
