If so, how did you go about figuring out how to teach them? 

Our daughter was in public school but we moved her to a private school at the first of the year because she was very behind in the public school and they refused to give her extra services.  Since moving her to the private school we have found out that she does have learning disabilities, which means that she would need to return to the public school since the private school doesn't have special education services available.  She has learned a lot while in the private school because of the small class size and a teacher that spends a lot of time with her and we know that she has learned much more than she would have if she had stayed in the public school.

Now the public school is wanting her to repeat the grade when she returns there in the fall.  Yes, the very same public school that refused to help us before and actually blew off my questioning if she had learning disabilities now only has a "repeat the grade" attitude.  The problem I have with that is that she has proven on testing done at Sylvan learning center that she is academically half way into her current grade, so if she repeats the grade she will be bored for half of the year because she knows that material.

Therefore we're considering home schooling but don't know how effective this might be with her learning disabilities.  Does anyone else do this?  How did you find out about the techniques you needed to teach your child so that they could learn?  We know that she has an average IQ so that's not a problem - it's just getting her brain to process the information correctly.

Thank you.

Since language is "our thing" - and particularly ESL - I thought you'd like to get a head start on what to expect from future Chinese dictators.  Get a load of these Chinese-to-English learning blocks (I'll post this as an URL you can paste into your browser since some are reluctant to click on links):

I suggest we practice by forming sentences, such as:  "The patient is a construction worker who was operating a navvy when a crustacea flew into the cab.  Mistaking it for a darning needle, he swatted at the crustacea and lost control of the navvy, which crashed.  Unfortunately, he was not wearing a safety armet at the time and was knocked unconscious..."

congratulations!  I hope to be debt free myself one of these days, and once I get out of debt, to be smart enough to stay out! 

Enjoy the good feeling that you are getting out of all your hard work! 

Sorry, didn't get enough sleep lastnight and it has been a long day already.  My 2 month old is not feeling well.

You know your dog better than anyone, and you know if he's happy.  My mom had a dog that would bark over every little thing and it made me not want to visit her.  It hurt my ears so bad I almost couldn't stand it.  She would put a bark collar on her when guests came over to spare them the assault on their ears, and we all appreciated it, let me tell you!  She tried several other methods, but they just didn't work on her dog.  Dogs are all different, just like kids.

I used to live in a duplex and the people next door had the most horrible barking dogs.  It really made my time in that place miserable.  I was pregnant and tired all the time but could not get a nap to save my life because of those darn dogs!  The owners have a responsibilty to the neighbors to keep their dogs fairly quiet in my opinion.  I am an animal lover (also a long-time vegetarian), but those dogs grated on my last animal-loving nerve!  Keep taking good care of your dog - he looks quite content and loved to me!

Wow,

Happy Birthday..and enjoy it to the fullest.  Hope it is a very pleasant one...

I did not ask you to stop "gaming," I simply said there may be a solution to allow 2 Gab Boards so everyone is happy.

The economy excuse would not be far from the truth either.  Just was not sure if it would sound too cliche these days.  It really is a good time to bring it up to her.  You are so right about Christmas being much more relaxing without gift exchange.  My friend is the only person I buy for; everyone else in my life is an adult, so they get stiffed!    But at least Christmas is mostly stress-free.  Thanks for replying. 

We bought a birthday cake with Happy Birthday Jesus on it and sang happy birthday.  Our 7-year-old loved it!

Doncha just love getting flowers?!  Happy birthday and here's to many more!
