Proud Parent

It's all because of politics and criminals, idiot. Russians definitely aren't stupid, you are. Moscow alone probably holds more treasure than half of Canada.

P.S. Russian chicks are fukin sexy

Grade 10 in US/Canada is about grade 4 in Russia.

Why are Russians so ugly, poor, and stupid then? Do they fail out at 3rd grade?

I'm going to be like the first one to say: Good job HS!
I don't say im for homeschooling and I hope she's going to a public school in a few years.

To each their own I suppose.

Heaven, are you one of those parents that is for banning dodgeball?

LOL no. We're not anywhere near a politically correct thinking & practicing family.
My daughter's not being brought up in a 'religious' setting. I just want her exposed to Christian ideals in her education. She also does her studies at her own speed. We're not forcing anything on her.

Does she play SS?

The Simpsons did a thing on home schooling in tonight's episode. It was funny.

Humm... I go there right now. We had no school last Friday =D

A) No way, seriously?

B) I heard it wasn't closed, and that there was just a police pressence. How old are you Send? I'm up on the wall in the forum buddy, Graduated 03 (hurray for double cohort)

I remember we had this really fucking smart kid in my class in 6th grade, and he was reading books about 17th century architecture and really boring shit. He was a nice kid. After 6th grade I didn't see him much, but I went to the new semester of school and there this motherfucker is in my War history class. And now I see him everywhere.

This story had no relevance, but I thought it was funny.

[Facetious]

I think a lot of people are making a ton of generalizations about people that home-school their kids. If you've got a gifted kid, live in an area without great public schools, and can't afford private school, I don't think home-schooling is that bad an idea, as long as you make sure the kid has other activities where they can socialize.

That said, I agree with everyone else that those approximate grade levels make no sense. Somehow I can't see the state putting Algebra 2 questions on a test for fourth graders.

[DoTheFandango]

I was completely content with being average, and my life benefited from it.

valid epi, metaldetectors and the like are no good.

For you Canadians, i assume you've heard of the possible 'shooting' at IRHS (iroqouis Ridge High School) when they found a threat written on the wall. That was my high school, we never had nay problems when i went there...kids are just fucked up.

Humm... I go there right now. We had no school last Friday =D

Man...my gf was doing math for like highschool (not sure about proper differences, so it was for 17yrs olds) when she was in 4th grade (10-11 yrs old), because her nazi dad who was civil engineer, made her do all that shit, with all his university eq (like rulers, proper pens and shit).
1. She has had absolutley zero usage for that when she grew up
2. He was still unable to control her when she turned 17



Let the kid go run with other kids, eat mud and fall down. That is learning. Social skills are very important in life, who gives a fuck that she can do algebra and understand Gatsby at 10
