So SC has fell off the face of CF. Now I’ve noticed that lawman’s alt has been non existent. Unless he is hanging in the cave.

The profile clonelawman said he was no longer coming on cycfan. I don't know what his alt is so can't speak to that.

Yeah, shortly after the last login by lawman, a new poster popped up that showed his tendencies and styles. Only took me a few posts to figure that one out. He get ticked off in the cave?

He had some philosophical issues with how our esteemed alumni hailing from Ankeny was being treated with preference on here.

Slum lord. I've got a friend that does rental properties up in the Duluth area. Once your tenants stabilize it's not too bad he says.

An apartment building in town (far from the best but definitely wasn’t the worst) got shuttered because one tenant trashed their apartment (saw a video and the guy was walking through shin deep garbage through the apartment) by not cleaning, leaving trash all over, so roaches and rodents came in. He couldn’t evict due to the no eviction order. It was so bad that the health inspector shut the whole building down and 3 other tenants had to find a new place to live.

Well, we've got a kid in love with online learning, so stuff has to be good.

Next year is a mystery. We did this year at home just because she thrives so much with online learning, and an adjustment disorder leaves her really struggling with in-person learning. Like, she'll hear and remember literally everything that happens, but she'd be hiding in the corner or having other emotional struggles that kept her from showing it and getting work done. So we did online to keep her thriving situation going.

The piece that's missing (which the Outschool and writing programs are now sort of filling in) is that she loves interacting with teachers and showing off her learning. In an online meeting, kiddo talks up a storm and lights up the entire time.

Our goal was to do a remote school option like last year, which had an assigned teacher, but Ames pulled the rug out on that too late. We'll be looking to see if districts like CR or Iowa City include that as part of their online scenarios, and then explore open enrollment as an option. If they just use the Edgenuity stuff, we'd be best off just doing our own thing like we are now.

But employment scenarios might change that. Probably not with overqualified me in the picture, but it's possible.
Also, I expect that Ames would shoot down our open enrollment request, but who knows on that.
Kiddo is so far ahead, too, that talking to a school district will involve overcoming a lot of quiet "sure, Dad, sure, that sounds legit" responses from educators when we talk about class placement. Odds are that she does most or all of 3rd grade by the end of spring, and grade levels just seem like a formality at this point.

So, long story short (TOO LATE!), probably, maybe, but we don't really know. The scheduling freedom with homeschooling is awesome. The expense is insane, but the non-teaching job has thrown in enough raises to make it all doable.

Also, is there an award for spamming a thread with @cowgirl836 length posts? With this subject, have I become what I so openly mock in other threads?

Wife told me that my old part time boss is having quick surgery for a heart issue. This sounds mean, but I told the wife that I am guessing that I will never see that last paycheck he owes me.

Well, she's dual enrolled in our efforts to keep all doors open.
We have a tentative, theoretical plan to do classes like art and music in person. It gets more theoretical than real as spring approaches.
