Ugh this drives me crazy! Have some manners and a little respect already...geesh

but what if ur not in AP classes ..u become chop liver? JA has been steady with its academics..there is no bell curve over the years...I had my grandmother helpin me with my home work she's a genius..and now she's helpin my niece, nephews and cousins

What do you call those tests....what are they called?....oh, the words escape me right now...C something, that all the kids take after is it 6th grade in JA? Isn't that to seperate them into the schools they qualify for? Isn't that the same things as AP classes and chopped liver?

German is what is killing us this year. I am of German heritage and I still can't make heads or tails out of most of that language......just the few words dad and grandpa spoke growing up. Thank God son took it a few years ago so he can help her out.

I keep saying, why couldn't you take Italian or Spanish.....something I know!

My daughter takes Japanese 3 She probably calls us every name in the book .

Ha......I seem to know cuss words in a variety of different languages. How funny is it that we learn those first?

[*SunRay* 1]

Hey ladies. How did your SO propose to you? Was he very romantic or was is very matter of fact?

Not romantic at all. I kinda asked him first and he said no. He denies it to this day Then he proposed a week later over the phone then again on our next visit....still don't remember no romance.

OMG, that's like Ray except he was like he was ready to get married. LMAO.

Ok since you are all talking about school and education I just had to come on here and be the proud Mom that I am. I had parent teacher conferences last night for my daughter who is in 1st grade. She got really good marks and her teacher said that she is is starting to read a second grade level. She said she is doing great in Math also and they are testing her to be in the gifted and talented program. Just wanted to share.

OMG!!! I can't take that JG.. they offered German in my middle skool, HELL NO too darn hard to listen to let alone learn.. (no disrespect my love LOL)..

i took French instead. I know a FEW words.. then in high school latin and spanish..Made good grades, but you have to speak that stuff everyday to REALLY learn it.. I would be trilingual right now if I had taken it more seriously I guess..

My kids started Spanish in kindergarten. I guess that is why they each chose German later on. I know....it has got to be the ugliest language out there.

They still teach Latin in school? I would love to learn Latin. You hear it so much in Church history. It would be interesting for me. Maybe I should take one of those internet courses to learn it.
