Abeka

[ric]

Is anyone doing Abeka? I am doing it but just for English. My teachers name is Mrs. Schmuck. Isn't that weird? But she's nice.

[FiddleRose]

I use to use it. I didn't like the math, but I loved the English.

[Yehoshua]

Which grade are you in? 'Cause she's for 8th and 9th. Her name isn't weird...and she's really nice.

"Who's on first?"

"Uh-huh."

A little joke in school.

[ric]

I'm doing 7th grade English.

[Yehoshua]

Didn't Mrs. Shannon teach that?

[ric]

All I know is that I'm taking 7th grade English by Mrs. Schmuck. This is the 1st Abeka class I've ever taken, so I don't know much about all the teachers and stuff.

[Yehoshua]

That's not right....something's amiss. What are the names of some of the students?

[ric]

Um, Blake, Daniel, Sarah, Chris.....there's a bunch. One that's kinda uncommon is Dennis. Ring any bells?

[Guest]

i am in 5 grade and abeka is not to bad

[Yehoshua]

Nope...at the end of a lesson, would ya mind checking the copyright and telling me?

[ric]

It's 2009.

[Yehoshua]

REALLY?! I had the one from 2001....lucky stiff.....

[ric]

2001!? Hmmmm, that's strange.

[Yehoshua]

That was the old version, duh.

[ric]

So, you used a CD? Or did you stream online?

[Yehoshua]

Streaming online is new stuff. Ricky boy, I was back before that began...waaaay back...just 3 years ago. Streaming came about...1 and a half?

[ric]

Oh, ok. My bro did it like 5 years ago, and he used a CD. But that is my only previous experience with A beka. I'm probably not doing it next year. I might though, just for English again.

[Yehoshua]

You get to choose?

[ric]

Well, ultimately my mom decides. But money wise, A beka isn't the best choice compared to some other things, no offense of course.

[Yehoshua]

Yeah, but it's the best!

[ric]

Ya, I guess. I don't really LOVE it because I think it kinda takes away the traditional home school feel, 'cause you have to do homework and stuff.

[Yehoshua]

Well, that's good. So you mean you wanna watch videos and not do homework? That sounds illogical. And I like it. Its like real school.

[ric]

No, I mean I wanna read the lesson and then do a worksheet, or a set of problems, in stead of watching a movie and doing problems in class, then turning of the movie and doing more problems. It's fine though.

[Avrash]

I did Abeka math in 6th grade, I think, and really liked how they had it set up and everything.

[Yehoshua]

Wow, you did Abeka! Was it Mr. Howe?
