Liking outdoor activity and farm animals is not the same as waking up early in cold morning to feed animals, and kitchen chores after breakfast, everyday. Not that it is not fun for everyone, but it won’t be like a 3 weeks long Summer camp. Just thinking about it frightens me.
I also have noticed that my DD good at catching up concepts, but slow and erroneous with numbers. I figured that the part of brain for that is not ready for her, and decided to focus on something else for more enjoyable education as well as long term efficiency. So I used Mind Benders, which is words based deductive reasoning program, as her main math curriculum. We started to focus on standard math and writing only about a year before applying to BS. So the timing was perfect.
Grier is 8 hours flight with 2 hours on school van for DD but she has never complained. She preferred one far away though. Felt more independent for a preteen girl I guess. It picks up students at IAD, PIT, JFK, SCE, and AOO airports, as well as Amtrack and Greyhound stations in Tyrone and Altoona.
