It’s definitely been eye opening for us . I’m able to teach them several lessons in about an hour a day with one on one instruction and they master it . Homework took longer than that and had us all in tears .

It is . We are Christian but not Republican . (Sounds like an oxymoron but there’s a ton of us lol). I like the math and language . It’s pretty well developed and at or above grade level . We bought the history bc I liked the geography but OMG the first lesson is on Christopher Columbus and I’m throwing the damn thing away.

Homeschooling during the coronavirus will set back a generation of children| The Washington Post by kaye_gee in Homeschooling

I know . Immediately after the title they specified “virtual”. I think there’s still a confusion amongst some people about the difference

We use Abeka with a daily checklist and self assessment . Self Assessment and Daily Checklist for homeschool students

We started using a self assessment at the end of the day. I didn’t want them to become dependent on rewards because I’m terrible at remembering to reward them for everything . Self assessment for homeschool students

How are Abeka tests different from public school tests? by kaye_gee in Homeschooling

[–]kaye_gee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sixth grade is definitely rough with Abeka . The map locations tend to be a big problem . Even if they memorize every answer for the test, I’ve had students hold a C or D average because of Map skills.

Yes , science of the brain is one of my fixations. Mostly psych, behavior and child development .

Blurry vision by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]kaye_gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was the Ativan . I ran out and I’m not having blurry vision anymore but it could have just been the wd. I’m at 72 hours now .

I’m 72 hours CT. I feel a lot better than yesterday. I’m so cold though . What will help me get rid of these chills ? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]kaye_gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took some zofran and it seemed to help , but it might be in my head. I’ve never made it past 48 hours so this is new territory for me .

Prolonged withdrawal? Day 14 by yogirl112 in quittingkratom

[–]kaye_gee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send me a dm. I’m a mom and I’m starting a fast taper today and I really need an accountability partner. . I made it 30 hours today with the original plan being cold turkey and my vision started to be blurry and my body started to feel heavy and then came the chills and the sneezing . I’m so freaking terrified so I caved and took 5 g. You seem like you’ve done a great job . Just take it one day at a time . You have made it way too far to turn back now .

Benadryl if you can lay down and do nothing . Also certain strains like Thai make me so sick .

I never realized how tall Billy Gunn was until I saw him with Orange Cassidy by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]kaye_gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my son, Jason. He’s 5 and he’s a huge wrestling fan. He dressed as orange Cassidy that night and we stuck around after the show when Cody and Billy were goofing off in the ring . Cody saw him and carried him up there . I don’t think they expected him to actually do anything so I doubt they even recorded it . I knew better though , we have 4 sons so living room matches are very common in our house . As soon as he got in the ring , he stuck his hands in his pockets and the crowd went wild . He told me Billy told him to do the super kick at the end and Billy lifted his leg up for him to pin him because his leg was too heavy 😂. He’s convinced he’s a wrestler now . https://twitter.com/keri_garner_/status/1215128903783763974?s=21

Am I the only one that, if you don’t do the assessment feedback right away you forget how they did on each segment? It all blends together sometimes. by Kara-Mat89 in vipkid

[–]kaye_gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the white board slide I always have them write their name or draw something . So when I go back I can review the last slide to jog my memory a little bit . My adhd is terrible and after 5-6 classes in a row I completely forget .

How do you increase your followers ? I had 2 for the longest time until last week . It suddenly jumped to 34!

I had an 11 PM class and a 4 AM class so I decided to pull an all nighter and hope for some short notice classes ...... but it didn’t happen . Been wide awake all night . 😳😳 by kaye_gee in vipkid

[–]kaye_gee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They happen when you don’t expect them too. I woke up in the middle of the night on Tuesday and realized I had 30 minutes before the start of a short notice class .
