Dear Albuquerque Home Learners,
Free World U is a non-profit organization that provides a free education
to anyone with Internet access. Our students tell us that they are able
to learn six hours worth of lessons in only half an hour.
This is possible because of the discovery that all knowledge, whether it
be math, social studies, English, or science, is reducible to tiny fact
units. The human brain does not assimilate entire books and lectures.
Rather, it has to translate these into fact units. If the information is
translated beforehand, the process moves dramatically faster.
First of all, we define the entire state-mandated pre-K-12 curriculum.
Next we break it down into fact units, numbering in the hundreds of
thousands, organized in a logical sequence. We then convert each fact
unit into a question and answer pair. We combine each question and
answer pair with an illustration and place it on a flashcard
accessible
by the Internet.
As students study the flashcards, they have the ability to eliminate the
ones that they have mastered. The system remembers every student and the
status of every fact unit that that student has encountered.
Students are able to be absolutely certain that they have mastered all
of the material. The flashcards are so simply written that even students
with learning disabilities find them easy to follow.
Students do not need to purchase any books or supplies to learn with the
system. The cost of homeschooling is eliminated. The burden on
homeschooling parents is drastically reduced. You can watch a movie
demonstrating the system by clicking here:

Sincerely,
David A. Hall, MD

I would like to post this EBay childrens bookshop, as I used to buy there when we still lived in Holland and the lady, Kathy is her name, always had really good prices and very good service. She did not mind the overseas shipping and "money in an envelope" transactions we used to have between us. She became a friend over time, but because of the move and then Katrina, I sort of forgot she was there.
Found her again and most definitively will be ordering here again, as her books are cheap, good quality and she is fast and reliable.

Hello,
I teach Latin and math to homeschoolers in Fort Collins, Colorado. I'm sending you this message in case your group members would be interested in our new online program - it's a great opportunity, especially for high-schoolers! (Students in northern Colorado may attend online or in person.)
NEW: For next school year, I will begin offering my classes online, under the name "Lone Pine Classical School." Latin 100 (first-year Latin) and STELLAE (introductory class for ages 8-12) will be offered (and are filling quickly!). The Latin program is a full 4-year program; Latin 200 through 400 are currently offered "in person" and will be offered online as the first students progress through the levels. (Math will probably not be offered for 2007-2008, unless there is tremendous interest.) Online Latin classes will meet twice weekly for a live, interactive (video & audio) session. Students may also attend a live online "help session" once a week (optional), and ask questions via email at any time.
Here is the web page for my program: http://www.lonepineclassical.com/online_index.asp
It is a solid, well-tested, and affordable program.
Latin offers the students not only improvement in (English!) vocabulary, grammar, and thinking skills, -- and a great advantage in learning French, Spanish, or Italian (my 3rd-year students can read basic stories in all 3 languages) -- but also the opportunity to take the annual National Latin Exam (and win an award!), earn scholarships, join the National and Colorado Junior Classical Leagues (no matter where you live), and join the National Latin Honor Society (if they maintain an A). This year ALL of my students won National Latin Exam awards! We attended the state convention for CoJCL (Colorado Junior Classical League), where they had a great time and earned many awards -- they can't wait to go again next year! Online students are very welcome to attend the Colorado convention with us, if traveling to Fort Collins, Colorado in late April fits into your plans. (The mountains are beautiful this time of year! 
Latin is a tremendous resume / college-application builder for your students!
My A.P. Calculus course (Pre-Calculus is a prerequisite) allows high-schoolers to earn real college credit (accepted at almost every university in the country) for just the cost of the class and the $80 or so fee for the national A.P. exam in May. (A great way to save time and money!) Math will ONLY be offered in '07-'08 if demand is very high.
I try to offer the students as many resume-builders as possible. I taught high-school before having children, and was trained to help high-schoolers build "glowing" college applications; I'm doing my best for these students!
Thank you very much for your time! Please do spread the word, and email me with questions!
I will keep your email address on my list for next year's announcements, unless you wish otherwise.
(I only send two emails per year to the email list -- May 1st and July 15th. This email is in lieu of the July 15th message, hence the only message you will receive this year.)
Thank you,
Karen Karppinen
