Michelle answers:

America doesn’t really have one curriculum. Each State is different, and even within the same state, each district is a little different.

In addition, most states do NOT require homeschoolers to follow exactly what the Public School does.

However, I’d be happy to suggest some homeschooling resources.

For math I like Horizons for K-6 and Teaching Textbooks for 7-12th.
Horizons, (note that the worksheet packets are not necessary, just the books):
http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?sid=1215186219-1880631&subject=10&category=2173

Teaching TExtbooks:
http://www.teachingtextbooks.com/Default.htm

For language arts there are many great things out there, too many to list. I suggest something with lots of literature once the children are reading well. Hewitt homeschooling has some great material.
Http://www.hewitthomeschooling.com

For science I like the “Christian Kids Explore…” series. Though I don’t know if you are a Christian, and if you aren’t you might not like it too much.

For History I like “The Mystery of History”:

I also like to vary what I use; for example next year my studies will be based on a Unit Study called “Galloping the Globe”.
Http://www.geomatters.com/products/details.asp?ID=158

There are many wonderful programs available, I wish you luck in finding the best one for your family.

Michelle answers:

The FAFSA can be filled out every year, but depending on the type of aid you receive, you may be eligible for a certain dollar amount (such as in loans) or a time limit (such as Pell Grant, which only covers 4 years).

But you need to keep in mind that the higher up you go, the more loans and less of other types of aid become available to you. This is normally the case, and sometimes you can subsidize this with state aid and private aid.

Michelle answers:

Clarification: The FAFSA (Free Application For Student Aid) is just an application. FAFSA does not make any offers of financial aid. The inforfrom your FAFSA application is what the college/univ. Financial aid staff at the schools to which you have applied use to help them determine what amount and form (loans, scholarships, grants) of financial aid they will offer you.

1. If you have heard from the colleges/universities to which you have applied regarding the amount and type of financial aid they are offering you, I recommend you talk (via telephone or in-person) with the financial aid advisers at those schools and ask about any other financial aid options they can recommend.

2. For many scholarships for Fall 2011, for which you might be able to apply, the application deadlines have passed, unfortunately.

3. This is a link to a March 2011 article from the well-respected US News and World Report listing some scholarships with application deadlines that may not have passed:
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/the-scholarship-coach/2011/03/31/8-scholarships-for-procrastinators-and-overachievers

4. You may also be able to find some scholarships for which you can apply, and for which the application deadline has not passed, by using the Scholarship Search database of the well-respected College Board:
http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp
If you wish to save your search strategy and return to it later, you can register (for free) without worry of receiving a lot of spam messages.

5. Like my local public library, your public library may subscribe to a database that you can access from your home computer through the library web pages, with your valid library card: GrantSelect.
I suggest you telephone your local public library and ask if it subscribes to the GrantSelect database and how you can access it.

Keep in mind that many, many, many students are looking for and applying for scholarships and grants. Being awarded one, is getting more difficult. Also, sometimes the amounts awarded are smaller than expected (or desired.) There is only so much money in the form of financial aid to go around. The more people who apply and qualify often means smaller award amounts.

Best wishes

Michelle answers:

Hi. If you begin working Full time, it will just depend on how much money you make that year before you file your tax returns. Your EFC will go up based on the fact that you have made more money. It will not change for the current school year though, just when you renew you FAFSA. Hope this helped!

Michelle answers:

The only “federal” aid available is through FAFSA. That is the application used to apply for all federal aid. Any other website claiming to offer federal aid is a scam and you should absolutely not ever list your social security number or other personal info on any of these websites. Your school itself may offer additional aid but community colleges usually do not offer much. Community colleges are hardly ever worth the out of state tuition. Either choose a different school that is able to give you more aid or stay in North Carolina to get lower tuition.

Michelle answers:

Hi,

the advantages of using facebook are many, as are the disadvantages:

Advantages:

its free

you can keep a track of how your friends are and let them know how you are

you can organise events

you can message your friends and family easily and quickly

you can get ideas from people

you can find people new and interesting people

Disadvantages:

if you have the wrong settings, anyone can view your information and therefore know things like your address, telephone number etc.

If someone else gains access to your account you may be “facebook raped” which means that the person accessing your account may put up stuff that isn’t true for everyone to see, stuff about you being gay or hating someone you don’t are examples

some people are so addicted to facebook that they don’t talk to people in real life, their entire lives now consist around facebook.

Some people put their entire lives on facebook and end up regretting it, burglars have been known to use facebook as a way of telling when people will be out of their houses because so many people put up stuff like “going on holiday, see you all in a week” and if your profile is viewable by everyone, people then know that you will be out of the house for a week

so as you can see there are upsides and downsides to using facebook, it all depends on what you intend on using it for, hope this helped

Thanks,

Michelle answers:

Michelle answers:

Go online first and scope out what you like on the website. Then you can go into the store and look for the clothes from the website to try on, while also picking up the few things that you might see in the store that you like. That way you have a focus of what to look for when you go into the store, and you won’t get overwhelmed by all of the clothes.

Michelle answers:

My son really liked Nickjr.com and playhousedisney.com
if you want it to be educational, try funbrain.com
it has a lot of math, and phonics games for all ages.

Michelle answers:

I remember reading many of Roald Dahl’s books at that age – they’re a bit old, but they’re very imaginative and I think they’re just right for a 7-year-old. My personal favorites from his books were Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The Witches, The BFG, and Matilda.

I also recommend the Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey. As a warning, there are examples of bad grammar/spelling in the comic books featured inside the novels, but they’re excellent books anyway and are great for a boy that age.

The Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osbourne is another good choice. The newer Merlin Missions books are fitting for his age, although some of the older books might be a bit below his level. Also, the research guides also written by Osbourne regarding topics featured in the books are educational and good reads.

The Hank Zipzer series by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver were also ones I read when I was 7. I still pick them up sometimes to read – they’re very well-written. And I read the Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol when I was that age as well, so both of those are good choices too.

I recall reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old online at funbrain.com, so that might also be a good choice. It’s a very funny novel.

The Animorphs series by K.A Applegate might be a little above his reading level (I’m not sure; I’ve never read it myself although I’ve heard good things about it) but at any rate you can help him with any words he doesn’t know or anything. The same goes for A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan, and the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowlilng – I’ve read all three series I mentioned previously, and they’re very good, although probably a bit above his reading level.

Good luck!

Michelle answers:

Quite a few lawsuits against FOX currently! Many of them are substantial and could be the End of FOX News. They have a grand pit of lawyers however so who knows but I think all of the lying and the propaganda and sensationalism and poor, poor journalism is catching up to them finally.

What they might be forced to do is change the name and retract the term ‘NEWS’ because that’s where they get intro trouble because so much of it is pure bullsh*t.

At the end of the day though most people no longer take them seriously. I think it’s almost a given now not to ever trust in the information from FOX because it’s simply a joke.

Palin has potential to be our next president, and I really hope that doesn’t happen, Insha’Allah.
Because of this, I watch what she does that has an affect on the political climate in America out of pure curiosity. I could care less about her personal life or her family’s personal life.
As for Fox, I think they’re presenting lies and slanted views to the people. I occasionally watch them just to see what the other side is saying. It is not an obsession, it is pure curiosity.

Fox News? Wow. Go Watch the movie ” Out Foxed ” fox news is the worst place to get news.

Well, as much as i love the guy. Maybe he is trying to lighten his load. He is still going to do the essence show.

Here is his letter
Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting our site and sending your well wishes and thoughts about ‘Emeril Live’. It is true that we will not continue production of ‘Emeril Live’ after the next filming in December, but I am looking forward to continuing a long working relationship with them for years to come. Emeril Live will continue to air on the Food Network for about two more years, with premiere episodes throughout 2008, and I will continue to host ‘Essence of Emeril’ next year. We are also looking into some specials and other new development opportunities.

‘Emeril Live’ has been a wonderful experience over the past ten years, and I’d just like to say how deeply appreciative I am to all the unbelievable staff – many who have been with the show since the beginning. I’d also like to thank the loyal viewers and fans, and the many talented guests who have appeared on the show through the years. It’s been such an incredible ride…but there is much more to come. I have lots of new ideas cooking…so please stay tuned!!

Michelle answers:

I presume that you want a Google (Chrome, maybe?) icon on your desktop which loads up Firefox. (By the way, Firefox is a Web browser not search engine but don’t worry)

1) Find an icon online. It has to be an icon with a .ico file extension.

Http://www.iconspedia.com/icon/google-chrome–201.html

2) Download it and save it somewhere accessible on your computer.

2) Go to your desktop, right click the Firefox icon and click ‘Properties’ at the bottom.

3) Click ‘Change Icon’ then ‘Browse’.

4) Find your icon, select it and click OK.

5) Click ‘Apply’ then ‘OK’.

6) The icon should have changed.

If you want to get the old one back it should be in a directory similar to this:
C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe

Michelle answers:

If you are trying to start Firefox before your computer has finished booting up, then this is what will happen. Wait until your computer has finished booting up before you open Firefox.

Michelle answers:

Go to Tools > Options, and select the Security tab. Under Passwords, click on the “Saved Passwords” button. Scroll down to the site for which you saved the wrong password, select it, and click the “Remove” button. That will erase the old (wrong) password, and you should be able to return to the site, log in again, and have Firefox save the correct password this time.

Michelle answers:

Try this instead:

1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.
2. Click the Main page.
3. Set the “When Firefox starts” list box to “Show my Windows and tabs from last time”.
4. Click OK.

Hope that helps.

Michelle answers:

It means they asked Apple to grant them until 8pm tonight to delivery us our new pads because they are overextended on orders. I just spoke to a FEDEX rep and that’s what they confirmed. We must just sit and wait. 🙁

Michelle answers:

Forget FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc., because they will cost more than the cost of the book and then some. What in the world is wrong with the postal service? OK, it may not work in the good ol’ U.S. Of A., but it works in the rest of the world — even Russia.

I have been shipping a product around the world using only the regular postal service for many years, simply because it is numerous times cheaper. I may have one item lost a year, and I believe the recipient is probably lying about not receiving it, even then, just to get another one. THAT is the only downside, because regular post has no tracking number. Would this book need one? Heck, even registered mail is far, far cheaper.

Michelle answers:

I would assume so since you are not a direct customer. To make sure I would reccomend calling FedEx. 1800 GO-FEDEX(463 3339) option 1. They can tell you for sure
