Deborah A. Mackall replied to Susan Renee Yusko's discussion assessing your children in the group Homeschooling the Early years Pk-2nd
"Stephanie,
That is a good point. At some time children will need to know how to take a test and not be anxious. [well, overly anxious] However, at Second Grade, I think she has plenty of time to get to that later. Since this child has…"

"Laura,
Erin made a great point about Verbal language development being best before 5. Since your children are obviously exposed to language before 5- and I assume fluent, I probably wouldn't be too concerned about doing both written.…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to Susan Renee Yusko's discussion assessing your children in the group Homeschooling the Early years Pk-2nd
"I would not let my child know she was being 'tested'. I rarely do traditional 'ok, kids we're having a TEST' type assessments. I'm much more sneaky. I'm working directly with my kids, so I know what they…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to Shelia Dutcher's discussion Speech Therapy? in the group Homeschooling the Early years Pk-2nd
"Many speech therapy places will tell you not to worry about it yet. I think many don't even want to evaluate until 3. [though she's pretty close to that]. Late talking does not necesarily mean she'll have any other issues. Not…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to Kristina Peterson's discussion Feeling inadequate in the group Relaxed / Eclectic Homeschoolers
"Ouch. It is very difficult not to compare and very normal to feel inadequate. That's why I stopped getting a certain homeschool magazine many years ago because I got too depressed reading about all the self-taught violinists, multi-linguists,…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to Zana Thompson's discussion Pressure in the group Relaxed / Eclectic Homeschoolers
"Most of the time, family is well meaning. You are doing something different- and that's always scary. Strangers aren't as invested. Respond with gratefulness at their concern and resist the biting comeback.
Secondly, they feel…"
Deborah A. Mackall commented on Jacque Eddy's group We Teach a Classical Education
"*Wink* I just answered you over at Christian classical Hub. :) So now I know we're both on both sites. . ."
Deborah A. Mackall replied to Jacque Eddy's discussion Time to share the wealth...Where do you go for curriculum information? in the group We Teach a Classical Education
"I'm seeing a lot of good stuff here. Another classical site I love to check out is http://www.triviumpursuit.com/
It's good to have more than one classical perspective. Gail, I see you are IEW -that's another great…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to The Homeschool Channel Admin's discussion Introduce Yourself
"Never heard of OCHEA, lol. LLL should be advertised on base as it's Original to the USA, but I do know there was at least 1 Japanese group near Tokyo. try llli.org too. Maybe they have a current listing.

"Hi Tina!!! We lived on Okinawa from 1985-1991, our first 2 children were born there and we loved it!!!! I hope you can connect with some other homeschoolers? Is there still a La Leche League group there? That would be a good place to…"
Jessica S. replied to Deborah A. Mackall's discussion Why is publicity so hard? in the group Homeschool Leaders
"We just started a FB group page for our local co-op within our very small community...the word has been getting out there via online. FB is free advertisement, but you have to have a fb account to participate. *That is a barrier for…"
Ber replied to Deborah A. Mackall's discussion Why is publicity so hard? in the group Homeschool Leaders
"Deborah,
It is in the 'culture' of homeschooling to fly under the radar. I understand this as a long time homeschooler who started when it wasn't in the least popular. New homeschoolers are a bit more open at least in the…"
Deborah A. Mackall replied to The Homeschool Channel Admin's discussion Introduce Yourself
"Traveling is a great curriculum all in itself!! I'd simply make the most of local 'studies' ^_^

"Hi Sabrina,
We won't start until after Labor Day. Before that we'll be attending an ICC Fall tour. A great program: http://iccinc.org/
I try to combine children that are close in age or ability. Every year I make some changes as…"
