Pediatrician says homeschooling is not good for children.

My son had his yearly physical today and the doctor asked how school was going and then proceeded to say homeschooling is not good for children it’s bad for their social and mental health said it makes children obese and then asked if we wanted to be referred for a psych evaluation. Anyone else deal with this type of behavior from their pediatrician?

Parents of 7–12-year-olds: Which science workbook would your child prefer — A or B?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently designing a printable science detective activity workbook for children aged 7–12, where kids solve a mystery by examining clues, investigating evidence, and using science to crack the case.

I've created two different designs for the same mystery, The Mystery of the Dying Greenhouse, and would really appreciate some honest feedback from parents!

Which version do you think your child would be more excited to try — A or B?

I'm especially curious about:

  • Which design looks more fun and engaging?
  • Which would be easier for your child to understand and complete?
  • Does either version look too childish or too complicated?
  • What would make you more likely to choose one for your child?

I'm developing this as an educational product to make learning more fun for the children I tutor. I'm just hoping to improve the design and activities based on genuine feedback.

If your child is interested in science, mysteries, or detective games, I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

I have attached 3 pages from the 2 versions that I have made (the firsst 3 pages are A and the second 3 pages are B). Please feel free to vote!

Completion of AAR Level 4 & Dyslexia

I’m wrapping up Level 4 with my 9 year old dyslexic son. He’s still not quite fluent at reading and I’m wondering what I should do next.

For those in similar circumstances, what have you found helpful?

We’ll still practice the phonograms with AAS. I was wondering if I should go back and revisit previous lessons or readings, or do something completely different.

Any suggestions appreciated :)
