My daughter has been heavily involved with softball for the past two years and the coaches' demands have cut into her school work and made her less focussed. She's doing another year of softball academy this September but when grade 11 hits (the year after), I'll be seriously considering whether she has time for both ball and school. And you don't have to guess which will win! <br /><br />My daughter did German online for two years and she's looking at a Greek course for September. You're right, pacing is crucial. So far I've found online courses contain a lot of busy-work but nevertheless, they've been beneficial.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-49125165471704802662014-06-02T07:24:47.928-07:002014-06-02T07:24:47.928-07:00I'll be focusing on my Classic Club list as we...I'll be focusing on my Classic Club list as well - as I said to you on my blog I feel ready for August 1914 :)<br /><br />Have a lovely summer!ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-27329549680884960352014-05-31T09:20:53.406-07:002014-05-31T09:20:53.406-07:00When do you start?

It's her first online class and we learned a lot about pacing!

We used to finish the first of June (and sometimes early May) but since my daughter hit grade 7-8, we end up going to the end of June. I'm trying to change this but somehow, with other commitments, it just doesn't happen.<br /><br />Interesting reading plans. I am woefully deficient when it comes to reading anything other than western type literature. Once I finish my first Classic Club list, my second one will be much more eclectic.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.com
