You guys are awesome. Ahhhhh....a reason to dump the annenberg videos....SOLD! Those suckers are out. They are too fluffy- maybe that's why I can't match them nicely. (which drives my type A, OCD self nutty)

Yes, I am going slow- I have until the end of May before I have to test. My son doesn't "have to" test ever, so if it gets too hard for him- so be it. As for now, he is doing fine. The problem for him is simply that everything is new- he had never heard the word "mean" or even concepts like "negative correlation" and "population" all have to be learned- where an adult has probably at least heard of them. I don't know if I said it here or on another board- but I offered him $100 if he passes. I never tell him to study, it's no pressure- totally up to him. So far, he hasn't missed joining me for one of "my" study sessions yet! I don't know if he will do it or not, BUT I never think learning is wasted!!! (test or no test). I did promise him that I wouldn't let him go in there if I didn't think he had a chance of passing - and that I'll stick to. I also told him that if he passes it now or in 10 years- that my offer for a hundred bucks is still good. My only rule, is that he can't study during school (lol that sounds funny) but I told him this was a fun extra thing he gets to do (lol now that REALLY sound funny) but that it had to be on his own time. And yes, I am very proud of him. He is bright- and I have no doubt he could get through this either this or next year.

I am going to slim down my resource list, and stick to my Idiot's guide along with my SD videos. Thanks!!!!
