February 26, 2008 - Moore Academy
I had been a bit stressed out over school as of lately. I was doing my oldest's transcript (she is done with her schooling... I am not!). Anyways, I was reliving all the frustrations we had with our high school years. Each assignment I had stuffed into these boxes was looked over again and I cringed and cringed and cringed. It was an awful time. As I was doing that, I was looking at my 10th grader floundering in her schooling as well. Now she does some things very well, but some things we picked out for her were just a bad fit.
With the review, I realized I needed something that fit my daughter a bit better. I wanted her happier. I wanted her smiling again. So, I got courage and called the Moore Academy for a consultation. I had never used their service before, so I was unsure what to expect.
I was really pleased with my call. I talked for an hour over several options and we talked about my daughter specifically and we found several options that might fit her a bit better. I was encouraged for what we were doing right. I was encouraged that doing better in other subjects won't be that hard. And I learned some of how to put a class together and how to feel comfortable with figuring credits for a couple of those classes that you know you should do, but what are the normal guidelines.
I also got help with understanding that not all classes have to be quizzes and tests... and if they aren't... how do we grade them? Well, I am so happy and so pleased with the Moore Academy. The counseling session may have been a bit high, but I consider it well worth the money. I have some direction that fits my daughter specifically. I feel confident with our plan for the coming year. And really, they let me plan the year, I asked questions and she answered my questions. I asked about curriculum and she shared the level of difficulty and what wouldn't work for my daughter for sure.
I'd say another thumbs up on a great service! I will definately use it again, should I get into a pickle with our plans! Thanks, Moore Academy!
Warmly, ~Melissa
