Anyway, I looked at her calendar and she is 25 lessons behind
and the term ends on January 21st, which means it is highly unlikely she will be finished with all her "A" term classes before the "B" term begins...unless she worked day and night for the next week, which I don't think is worth it.I know when she comes to the room where I am working with her younger sister, she is smiling and relaxed. She sits on the sofa while we are having a discussion. Sometimes she even joins in. She has borrowed her sister's school books to read. When she is sitting at the computer with her lessons, she is stressed out and working verrry slowwwly.
At the beginning of this school year, Keri was the one who did not want to home school, and chose the online school. Her actions are speaking louder than her words. I know she will do better with HOD.
SO, I am going to pull her from the online school at the end of the term. She will do the second half of Preparing with extensions, and I will assign all the reading to her independently. She will do the first half of Rod and Staff 6 daily, DITHOR 6/7/8, and Life of Fred Pre-Algebra with Biology. I want to ease her into HOD again after all the stress of public school, which she was in for 5th through 6th grades, and the online school which she is in for half of 7th.
Then, next year for grade 8, she will do CTC with extensions, 2nd half of Rod and Staff 6 twice a week, DITHOR 6/7/8 and Algebra 1 along with her younger sister, who will do CTC as written. There are enough independent portions that they don't ever have to be working on the same part at the same time, so that should help with not causing conflict for competitiveness, and we can all be together for Bible study and story discussions. I will revisit what to do for high school after we have completed CTC.
I like the girl I see sitting on the sofa and smiling so much better than the uptight-looking one in front of the computer. Thanks for listening!
My kids did not do well with online learning either. Retention and accountability became huge problems for us. Hope your daughter loves her change! 
Anyway, I will update after Monday night one way or the other. Whatever happens, I believe it will all work out for the best 
I didn't say anything at that moment, because I did not want her frustration to turn to anger and then inaction. She passed her courses with one A, four Bs, and one C. I am praying God will help me communicate to her that I want to teach her because there is a better way, not because she isn't smart, but because she IS smart, and because I know a better fit for her personality. Because I want her in a Christian program. Because I want what is best for her. Because I know better thatn she does. *Sigh* Well, MY plan is to use CTC with extensions with her younger sister, or if we can afford more than that, RTR or possibly even Rev to Rev for her 8th grade year. Either way, I know she will get a great and meaningful education. With Life of Fred PreAlgebra 2 with Economics, and Algebra 1, and Rod and Staff English 6, she will have a full and fulfilling year. Please keep praying with me for a change of heart.
All the others are glad to be done with it, go figure.
