Rico, I wish that I were in the position to be home again.

I would gladly homeschool her for you...

I keep askin the Lord to reveal them 6 little numbers to me. He's been faithful to reveal them to me, but it's always the day after the drawing! I realize everything has to be in His divine timing and all, but I sure wish He'd do it a little sooner than He has been!

Well, we kinda hit a rocky patch. My daughter started having some issues with the work, so she started getting sneaky about finding ways to get away from her desk. After some counseling she managed to get back on track. I figured out where she got off track and made her redo a few assignments, some of them twice, and now she's gotten over the hump and is back to diggin her school work again. All is well in the Ricoville School District.

Good report, Rico. You have to stay on them! It's easier to relax at home OR they think they can!

Cause she got a big fat D in math as her final grade. The problems with math have been building over the last couple of years, so it was time for action or risk her having to repeat a grade. I refuse to raise a child who does poorly in school. Around here you either live up to your potential in school or dad makes you live up to your potential in school. There's three ways of doing things around these parts; the right way, the wrong way, and Dad's way.

(Dad's way is not always as hard as that may appear.)

I hired a math tutor for Zac one summer; that cured him for good! It's not that he couldn't learn Algebra; he just didn't want to. After we had this nerdy college student coming twice a week for a while, he amazingly cracked down and learned it really quick so we wouldn't have to have her come back anymore!
