Homeschooling in the buff. Well, ok, maybe not too buff - but like, in the PJS, the warm fuzzy PJ's that go on clearance after Christmas!

Too much, too soon...
So, I thought, we has a pretty rough day yesterday - but today will be better. No Class connect yet, still needs to do Scantron SY, so, we are still on the easy road.
I let her sleep in an hour because of some things we had to deal with last night. So, 8am rolls around, and I figure, better get her up, and let her start her testing.
Then, I sign in, and see THIS ^^
I almost crapped my PJs.
I hadn't even sipped my coffee yet, and I knew there wasn't enough in the house to help me deal with the wrath that would be unleashed upon me.
So, lets start with Class Connect. Obviously the optional wasn't an option this morning. So, skip forward to Math. I'm sitting 3 feet away from her - her at her desk, me on the couch. I poke her and whisper - "Hey, why aren't you taking notes?" she responds, "We already learned this stuff at [B&M]"
YUSSS!!! This will be easier than I thought.
Break for snack, and then back to the PC at 10am.
Language class is over, phew - that went well.
Well, the guy came to repair the internet, so I had her try to focus her attention on school work, and that was not happening.
(Let me put a little side post here saying, I stopped writing yesterday at this point, because she had come back home from walking her girlfriend home, and it was time to buckle down. No her g/f wasn't here, but goes to the school at the corner, and they usually walk home together. At any rate, it is now 9:02am the NEXT day. Why so late? Because we were up doing course work until almost 8 last night. FUN!!!!)
So, there are a few things I realise I HATE about home schooling - number one being, GUM. Why?What is the point? Do we not hurt enough when we stub our toe on the additional piece of furniture (the desk) that we now have in our home? You now need to pour salt on the fresh wounds of home schooling?
What is the point?.... I'll save that for another blog.
At any rate - some of these classes we just don't seem to have the time to get to yet.
Spanish - honestly, how do we have time for this? Secondly, I have heard from other parents stating that the kids arent even graded on this. Yea, its not even on the progress page. And, we havent been able to get it.
Huge fail, K12
Now, ART- While y daughter LOVES art, I think I'm going to save the Art for Fridays, I need to figure out how to change that. We have no class connect on Fridays, and I think it would be easier to just do it on a day when we have some wined down time.
Everything else - ok. Its going pretty smoothly. But the whole GUM this - thats whats throwing us off. I just dont get it.
Any other issues we had with other subjects, I will gladly blame on it being a crazy day, and my daughter being more worried about seeing her girlfriend, than doing her lessons.
Well... time for.... today! [1/22/2015]
