Question for yalls: for those of yall who have done the online courses for Heggerty, Orton Gillingham, and Barton, what levels have you done and how far have you taken the curricula/style into your teaching with your own kids, other people's kids, co-ops, families sharing the load, private tutoring etc? Which one would you recommend for a private tutor to learn online (obviously out of pocket)?

Additionally, has anyone here done an online training course for Read180? If so, how much did it cost you, or did a school district pay for it?

What are all yalls opinions on 24" kids bikes? How old were your kids when you upgraded to 24" frame/wheel sizes? How long did your kids last on them before upgrading to adult road bikes, hybrid, cruiser, or mountain bikes? Adult sizes being 26" and taller.

Do your kids/preteens/teens still ride their bikes around the neighborhood, to and from school, to and from friends houses, on trails and thru big parks? How often do you expand your kids' and teens' radius, geographic boundaries of how far they can venture off to?

I have a niche interest in 24" kids bikes, as my 24" Schwinn Ranger was my most reliable transportation and companion from 2004 to 2009, even though it felt like a decade how much I rode it. Parks, towns, city, trails, bike paths, bike racks on public transit, from north Seattle to nearly Edmonds, from Capitol Hill/Downtown Seattle to nearly West Seattle. It was better than food to ride my bike the way I did every weekend until the very end of 12th grade.

Alicia and Josh Doughterty, and by extension, eldest son Alex and their adopted trophy child DeShawn?

Maddie Lambert and Yasmine Switzer with their now 28+yr old no-longer-teenage pregnancies?

Jessica Skube, aka the one woman show of JesssFam? Her slovenly husband Chris? The 5 innocent children whose educations are always put on the backburner in favor of Disney trips and competitive sports?

Hanniniah Brandon, who with her chickfila-sweetheart husband has 2 babies under 2, a few dogs, and are expecting baby #3 all while living in a studio apartment on a chickfila biweekly wage? When will she and her deluded mother, Neysa, stop competing to see who will pregnant first?

The Neverending chaos of Jenelle Evans? Her son Jace needs freedom and ultimate peace, away from his mom, stepdad, and even Grandma Barb.

The awful saga of those two children on TLC's exploitative ***Unexpected*** tv reality soap opera, with an infant in peril between a white trash household of 5000 bad decisions VS the baby's paternal millenial-aged grandfather seeking permanent custody to rescue the baby from a lifetime of squalor and neglect?

Will FamilyFunPack Hepner family ever get themselves canceled over their neglectful and strange parenting style?

Will Alana Thompson, now 20years old, ever find peace without her Mama June aways getting the last laugh for more Oxygen/WE/Lifetime/TLC reality hot garbage shows?

Fill in the blank.

It's been almost 20yrs of Shay Carl and Colette Butler vlogging their family life, they're still at it, their youngest is in middle school now (and is still a feral child who doesn't smile but only grimmaces). They first started with three kids under 5. Movie production company, sell out to Disney, cheating on wife, hitting on other women, verbally and religiously abusive to his daughters, negligent of safety to his sons, exploiting his child's weight for a book deal, vlogging while in LDS Sunday services in his ward (violation), suspended drivers license but still drove around illegally, having sexual relations with online prostitutes, buying a house he couldn't maintain, abuse and neglect of countless animals (cats, dogs, cows, etc), burning out friendships, brand name clothes with failure of a mall store, supporting his cousin who committed vehicular manslaughter as an innocent "wouldnt hurt a fly" type, hunting brand taken over by his brother resulting in a years long silent treatment, purchase of a ski lodge and slopes and later selling it to another buyer, out loud Maga and ProudBoys bragging supporter, alienating his eldest daughter, still preaching the Mormon faith as superior, etc. Wife Colette isn't any better with her countless attempts at grifting as an overpriced and under-educated life coach over and over again. The grandma is an obnoxious redneck to the extreme.

All of Shay's old friends from his Prime days are long gone out of the picture. The funniest or least problematic was the guy named Rawn/Ron with the crazy hair. He had a vlog channel once, but eventually faded into obscurity and he stopped showing his personal life online.

All of the collabs Shay did with other vloggers have been forgotten or cancelled, as he and others put themselves into crappy positions and did awful things to their own reputations.
