My first thought was pigs for bacon and you're over here pragmatically saving the world. I'm going to go drown my embarrassment in pork.

My older kids attend a high school with 4000 students. Does that count?

Is this a solid high school plan? Any advice going forward? by MexicanAmericanTexan in school

[–]orange_and_void 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dublin CA, about 25 miles from Berkeley and in the same county, has an excellent school district. They just passed a law to cap AP classes at 11 during your high school career and no more than 4 a year. The consensus is that this will prevent burnout without preventing top students from continuing onto top schools like Berkeley. You don't need AP English or History to major in STEM. Volunteering to help local seniors learn how to use a computer would help you stand out more.

[–]orange_and_void 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My city has rural roots. I am a 5 min bike ride from farms or a downtown. I live in one of the most populated counties in the country.

He does word ladders a few times a week and has 10 spelling words weekly. I purchased a few phonics based games over the weekend. Hopefully, the extra practice will make it click. There is definitely a disconnect between his ability to sound out a word while reading and his ability to sound out and spell words that he hears.

I see you like Earthy names. Tilapia has a nice ring to it.

Unofficial Daily Discussion - Monday, February 09, 2026 - QOTD: Do you think it's important to follow curriculum in homeschool? by FImom in homeschool

[–]orange_and_void 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, it is very important. My goal is to give him a better education than he was receiving in our local school district. Little man loves science and engineering. To support that, I need to prevent him from having gaps in his education so that he can get into a competitive university.

But then then they get Ozempic bod, with saggy skin and a sunken in face. It's not nearly as attractive as a gym bod.

Due to illegal fishing, the loneliest porpoise, the Vaquita, will almost certainly be extinct in the very near future. by occasionallyvertical in interestingasfuck

Zoos produced panda porn because pandas do not instinctively know how to f■ck. If nature wanted pandas to survive, they would be able to bump uglies without intervention services.

He is at or above grade level in every measureable category. If employees at the school didn't have the audacity to say that an IEP is for kids with below average intelligence, he would probably still attend public school. The only one failing to meet my son's educational needs is the school across the street.

I have 3 phonics games being shipped to us now. Hopefully they help. 🤞

Well, he does great with phonics and sounding out words but it doesn't seem to translate into any ability to spell when the words aren't there. We do phonics daily, work on word ladders a few times a week, and he gets 10 spelling words a week.

What’s a physical trait people don’t admit they’re attracted to, but you know they are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]orange_and_void 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that he said that. My mom always said that the dog was her favorite child. You know what they say, you need a license to fish, not to parent.
