She is blown away by learning!

Maybe I want too much.

Maybe I’m greedy.

Maybe nothing is ever good enough for me.

Whether or not any of those things apply, I have a problem with the way Universal Class is being run. I’m currently in three classes:

After various incidents in the school I am thinking that my lovely 2nd grader is not getting the attention, help, or support she needs in school.

She is not special needs (except being in the gifted math program at school – if that even qualifies) and she does not have a disability. She does . . . → Read More: Do I want to Homeschool in Illinois? Where do I Start?

This week the Spring school semester began.

I’m taking six online classes.

At first I thought, “This is going to be so easy! My school calendar is synced to my iPhone, I have the iStudiez Pro app, and my school is signed up for access to the Blackboard Mobile app. Wherever I am, I can . . . → Read More: Navigating Multiple Online Classes

I read the material, but I’m not applying myself as much as I should.

Let me go back.

You may remember my teacher who said, . . . → Read More: The Culture of a College (or university or whatever)

This is a parody post of sorts. I keep hearing that it’s important to meet your teachers, connect with them, get to know them.

Who knows, maybe you’re supposed to try and play a pick-up game of hackie-sack with them. All I know is, if I don’t make then love me enough to write . . . → Read More: Meeting Teachers – Making Friends

If you’ve seen me on Facebook or Twitter, you’ve probably heard me talk about the LSAT.
