As I am sitting here, I hear Shayna's laptop "speaking to her" in a monotone voice lecturing different mathematical concepts. She seems to be happy and is working hard at her work. However, it is so difficult for me to sit here and "allow a machine" to teach her.
Today, she started John Hopkins University - Center for Talented Youth Mathematics Course. She was very nervous last night as she did a trial run on the software. In fact, getting used to it was difficult for her. She had a melt down as she was trying to learn how to naviagate it. She did figure it out rather quickly and today, she jumped right on and is working away.
She has a "tutor" / "professor" (my guess is a graduate student) who she can ask questions and report back to. She has to do homework on her own (although it is not required) and has a final exam.
One less thing my daughter will need me for ! She is growing up so fast !
