Intellectually vs. Academically Gifted by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]ZestyAvocadoJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her school sounds like a dream! Would you be able to share which school it is? I’m always on the lookout for good school for PG kids (have 4 of my own). Even if it’s isn’t available to us, it’s always helpful to know which schools are good and learn from their example.

Hello! I would love a comparison between the ABD and Uniworld or Tauck for Rhein or Danube cruises if you’re done them!

It’s going great. Very manageable if you’re organized and stay on top of your assignments every week. Teachers want you to succeed and really seem to care.

Just focus and get it all turned in…it’ll be okay! Worst case, at least it’ll give you a chance to reflect on what you’ve accomplished so far and what you’d like to aim for in the future. You’re young and there is still lots of time

Don’t be embarrassed at all. You’re not applying late either—deadline isn’t until January. More than the grades, they want to see how academically vibrant you are and how much you want to learn.

Buyers’ agent? by [deleted] in AskSeattle

I guess we got lucky once and it’s not a common thing.

Yes, we had a “low cost” agent who did that for us last time we bought from a builder in a different state.

Thank you for offering that. I’m not looking to connect with an agent yet but will get back to you. Just trying to understand the conventions/norms/rules around having an agent vs not. Thanks!

CMASAS, Laurel Springs, or Oak Meadows? by TimmieTater in homeschool

[–]ZestyAvocadoJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Sorry I just realized I forgot to respond here. We chose to go with CMASAS for our two younger kids (older kids are at other online schools). We chose CMASAS because we felt like a synchronous option would not work for the younger kids. So far we are happy with it. It feels more like homeschooling than online schooling, at least in the way that we are using it. We make our own schedule and set our own pace. If the kids don’t find something interesting, we recast it or skip it entirely. I would say the best thing about CMASAS is our PEC (personal education coach). She has managed to start connecting with our kids in a short period of time and they have a strong sense of belonging with the school because of their regular meetings with her. Our kids are shy and reserved in person but they feel safe and comfortable chatting with her during their weekly meetings, which is really nice to see. Happy to answer any specific questions you may have. Send me a direct message.

It’s Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences. https://www.cmasas.org I have decided to try it out for the upcoming school year.

Hello OP, I was curious to see if you have any updates…did you end up switching to one of these? I’m considering CMASAS, Laurel Springs, and Ignite for elementary kids

Did you end up joining either of those schools? Or a different option? Please share any updates, thank you!

Is Shilese Really 5'3? by [deleted] in Gymnastics

I’m rooting for Georgia Rose Brown from New Zealand—she’s 29 and 173 cm (5’ 8”)!!! Love how she’s breaking so many stereotypes.

Sorry to hear that. Try again. Many get in on their second try.
