My not so popular opinion.

You may all think I am crazy...but....

I am re-doing high school math! Yep you read that right. I am doing high school math over again...

The idea started over a year ago when I thought about taking my sister in law's algebra class at home. And that's just what I am doing now! I actually did my first two sections today!

You may wonder why it is that I am doing this????? Well...when I was in high school honestly my main focus was boys and getting through the day. I had no time for math, and it didn't help that my teachers were mostly monotone speaking men who didn't really care if I understood the material or did my homework. So...I figure that I hardly retained ANY math from high school.

So I am excited. Chelsea set me up with an online code and I am doing all my work using the online textbook. So this won't cost me a dime...unless you count notebook fees! I think I bought this one for 10 cents!

It feels good to refresh on things that I kinda understood. I hope to brush up on all levels of math prior to the twins actually needing my help so that when that time comes Sean and I can both help.

hey you are going to have to get me hooked up to do that!!! Rob and I where JUST talking about me going back to school but right now is not the time to do so because of his schooling he is in right now:P It would not be fair or good for Robbie if BOTH mommy and daddy where not able to give him the kind of attention that he needs!! So I was thinking of just doing some classes online to start brusing myself up!! Let me know if you can help me with this!!! That is AWSOME that you are doing that!! It not only helps you in the long run but like you said YOU too can now help the girls when they bring home the math homework and havent a clue on to how to do it you can now say MOMMY CAN HELP!!!

Good for you! No, I don't think you're crazy because this sounds exactly like something I would do ;>) That is one of the things I am most excited about homeschooling: learning or relearning all the things I didn't pick up on the first time around {especially history}. Let us know how it goes!

P.S. I *love* algebra!

Brittany-You should email chelsea and she could probably hook you up with a user name and password. I am doing her homework(well actually I am trying to stay ahead of her class)and will take her tests which she might be able to email... I will get her at school email address and get it to you.

HTH

Becki-I LOVE HISTORY!!!
