My Decision

I have thought about it, fought about it and thought about it some more and we have come up with a solution. OK, to explain, the school my daughter was in, in chicago was not a good school. I'm quite sure many of you who know me have heard this before, but, the school had 6th, 7th and 8th graders all mixed in to one class and the teacher was supposed to teach each level of students. Now I don't know if you understand, but how in the world are you going to teach all these different levels in one class period and expect them to learn anything? I didn't get it and I don't think my daughter along with a lot of other students got anything either, but a lot of headaches and frustration. So now that we are in a different area and school district, the school is so much more advanced than where we came from, so it's sad to say, but my daughter is not catching on as quickly as should be. The teaching is so very different and much more focused than she had. Well, anyway, this leads me to our decision. We have decided to home-school her through 8th grade starting after this first quarter to see where she is in her understanding and what we need to work on. I've decided to use LinkOnLearning. I'll talk about this later, because I have said enough for now.
