- For today we have:
- The authoring of a new contract.
- Math workbooks -- perhaps registering for Aleks.
- Write a goals paper -- "This year in HS, I want to study ......"
- Pick out a book to read this week and begin reading.
- Music practice.
- Film 101. (Netflix over the Xbox is wonderful; to quote the blurb: New York University film professor Richard Brown opens up his standing-room-only Movies 101 class for the first time in this AMC series. Moviemaking luminaries such as Jon Voight, Sigourney Weaver, Julianne Moore, George Clooney, Daniel Day-Lewis and Martin Scorsese discuss the filmmaking process, life in the spotlight and the history of the medium.)
- We will get up at our own time on days that we are not eating b’fast with dad, as long as its before 10:30 am.
- We must have school finished on or before 4:30, preferably before.
- No using Gamecube, Playstation 2, DS, or Wii during school hours. The Xbox can only be used for educational purposes (mainly movies.)
- No cell phones during school hours.
- 30 mins of chores should be done each day outside of school hours.
- Each student should keep track of their assignments everyday and write them down.
- Each student must understand that they will be graded this year.
- I understand that I must do 22 and 1/2 hours of school each week at minimum
- I understand that we will have regular field trips and I must study beforehand so I can learn from it. (ex: Little White House, Fox Theatre, Fernbank, GA aquarium, high museum, Symphony, plays, Mexico, Lakeland)
- I understand that the big four subjects take precedence.

Interesting read. I'm big on plans and schedules, but it never occurred to me to post them online. Great idea!

It is all about accountability for me. If it is online and available at anytime for us to access, I think they will be more diligent with it. So is the hope, at least!

I have books to sell from my son's private school. Is there a good online source that I can sell through so that homeschoolers can take advantage of these books?
