Washington state has yearly testing standards to ensure education is level with peers. I know a lot of people who's kids are homeschooled here who are constantly exceeding scores of their peers. One parent is a 6th grade teacher in public school, while homeschooling her own kids. But even those without credentials are having high scores. Having a community and peer to peer collaboration helps too.

I mean you follow a testing module to ensure subject matter is satisfactory. After 2nd grade I believe?

Can you do that and post it?

Sorry if I'm naive. But what's happening at school board meetings. My oldest child just finished kindergarten and it's mild as of now.

That's... Sad. My kindergartner knows how to read already.

What's the consensus on homeschooling from lemmy users?

I don't want any political party or their agenda involved in what my kids learn.

Second this. I'm using the trash bag method for the first time and the bags just don't hold up after 3 or so feet. Hard to water.

So who does the capitolost vote for? The rich control the decisions. Like always. The ones who fund the parties. The ones who back the people in power.

If the people got who they backed we'd probably have Bernie or someone else who got grassroot funding.

Or worse. It froze it into an ice cube. So when you threw it you might as well have yeeted a rock into your sister's face. Mom wasn't happy.

Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I'm in a veiled world since like 2015

Which is neither fallout or elder scrolls. I played starfield to it's completion. It was fine. Nothing more than a 7/10. Had a lot to work on.

But I don't get the fallout 4 hate. With a few mods and shutting up the protagonist, the game was more than enjoyable.

Is that Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant?

No kidding

The other said what needed to be said. Do you talk to anyone the way you do? You do realize you're talking to real people with real life experiences. And if you used any critical thought you'd understand the innocence of using the word "fricken" or "friggen" in my comment was to illustrate that in our child community growing up, we used the retard word along with that. And it was almost never used to call someone that, it was used to call a situation that. Like "that's retarded let's not do that".

And yeah I don't use that word anymore as an adult.

Is saying the word retarded without calling some it disrespectful? Is it now a trigger word? I'm genuinely wondering. Because when we were growing up we used the word EVERYWHERE. It was as common as saying "fricken"

A lot of people like majorly tainted green

No no, her perverted idea. Jesus only has one form, and it's not up to her imagination.

Wow I would have went through so much trouble trying to figure out my problems before stumbling on moisture problems. Especially since I'm printing in my garage.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention before I ran into many problems. I didn't even think about how I'm going to store all my filament. I was just going to go loose on the bottom of my table in a container.

It's interesting that the instructions for preparing the AMS had me take out the dessicant from the 2 trays in the roller area. I was wondering what the point of these being empty was. I'll fill that with back up with dessicant.

Oh wow yeah that sounds like a hand full. Health becomes a problem for us. If one of us gets sick for a few days it gets pretty rough. We don't have too much time to go out, and my wife and I haven't really went on too many dates since our 3rd was born. But we're both on the same page that it's part of the season we're in. I'm busy maybe 3 days a week and that already makes it rough, but I can't imagine if my week was full of appointments.

Don't worry about being too clean for the kids. The first one is always going to be the learning curve, and we've been there with the ultra clean everything. Germs and chokeables. Now on our 3rd we're a lot more lax, being more observant when it's necessary. But you will drive yourself crazy picking every speck off the ground lol.

But ultimately my wife and I are a team. And if there's anything that becomes too hard for us it's because we weren't on the same page about it. Life moves forward. Children are the best thing that ever happened to us. And our hobbies didn't disappear, we got new ones and old ones either aren't interesting anymore or adapted to fit. You'll never be 100% ready. If you and your partner want children, let that child grow with you.
