CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My grandson is now in his senior year. We started homeschooling when he was in third grade. We used the Abeka Christan program until seventh grade then we switched to using mostly Khan Academy.

We completed homeschooling our 4 kids in 1997. We used Life Packs and Alpha Omega. The first year we enrolled them in Christian Liberty Academy. I understand homeschooling material has improved quite a bit. My two grandchildren are being homeschooled now.

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons | Amazon.Com
I did the book with my son in 100 days. He went from ground zero to reading at the second grade level in 100 days. He and I were locked in a room together until we finished a lesson. The lessons got progressively longer as we got further into the book. I added a break. Later I added another break.
The book contains a list of grade appropriate reading books at the end. I went through several of those books with my son over the next couple of months. This took him to the 3rd grade reading level. Then he started 1st grade.
Note that it was pretty much World War III every day because my son did not want to learn how to read. Plus, he has mild Asperger's Syndrome. I didn't know how to teach reading but I could follow the book.
We moved so fast that I used flash cards for any problem words. Every day we did additional drills with the flash cards. We did flash card drills until he knew the words. No falling behind.
Once he started 1st grade in Switzerland he would have to learn how to read in German. This was going to be a nightmare. Hence, my rush to teach him how to read in English. After English, learning how to read in German was super easy for him. Crisis averted.

My step kids just graduated high school from Seton Home Study. We pulled them out of public school after their sophomore year in 2020-21 and they did their last two years in home school. It was great, and they had still had an in-person graduation and everything. They really thrived, my stepdaughter has always been a great student and she unsurprisingly graduated with a 4.0. My step son surprised me, cause he's a lot like I was in high school (I slacked and did the bare minimum to get by) but he finished way better than I did with a 3.7GPA.
