Should i enroll my son in online public school?

We Answered:

Hi :)
I am 14 ( turning 15 in september :D!!) and I will be enrolling in OHVA (Ohio Virtual Academy) home schooling.
I have an IEP in math, I am not sure what else. And OHVA does take in students with a IEP and helps them as needed, you know all that IEP learing..

OHVA is not just for Ohio. It is for all states in America.
It ust happens to be called OHVA for me because I am in Ohio.

But the MAIN program is called
k12

Which stands for Kindergarden- 12th grade.

I haven't started yet, but I am really exicted too. I hate regular school.

Here is K12's site.

It is free..
and It is great because they offer sooo SO much more than a regular public school can. It gives alot of different languages for learning, and all kinds of, um, electives, even gym. It is reallyyy amazing on all these extra classes they provide.

Also ur son can do his work on his own time.
SOMETIMES he will have to sign on at a certain time though.

You will be sent a free computer, and you get free ink, and free books, bla bla bla, the list goes on.

I have ADHD, ADD, OCD, and ODD.. :(
idk if you know what OCD and ODD are, but they stand for
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
and
Opostional Defiant Disorder.. idk if I spelled that right.

I have a really hard time focusing in class if I don't take my medication.
I think your son is too young to take the meds I do, but I don't know..
I take Sertraline and Strattera

It helps me focus and I feel more relaxed, and all that good stuff.


:D

Hope I helped!!!

Which areas would you like to see Government cut backs in?

We Answered:

1. Without lowering defense spending by a dime, we could clear up 15 billion dollars a month just by getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Lets do that first.

2. Then, lets fire a whole bunch of unneeded government employees. There are way too many. Have you ever been to a govt office? Mostly they just stand around and chat.

3. Lets cut back on pork projects, like Palins bridge to nowhere. You know, the pointless ones. And I'm sure Dem's have them too, so don't just vote me down because I used the P word.

4. Lets quit spending so much money putting Spanish everywhere. How about we just have one copy of each form and each sign, and make it in English.

5. Lets quit housing so many criminals. You know, the ones that kill other people and are just waiting to be killed. Or the ones that constantly commit crimes, and are in jail so much that they don't know how the real world operates. China has a good policy I hear. It's called the one bullet policy.

All this from a fairly liberal guy.

Free speech therapy for 5 year old?

Why not start with visuals for him?

Have him color or draw what he had for breakfast. When you ask him what he did in school today. Start with beginning.

1st I dropped you off at school.
2nd you went into classroom ... then ask him what he does after that

What did you have for snack?

At the end of the day what did you do.

"chronological order"

As for the math skills. You may want to have visuals for him. So, set up 3 pencils on the table, then ask him to count that 1st

Then give him 4 more pencils.
