<p>Since I have strep throat and laryngitis, I don&#8217;t have a voice to direct or narrate this video review of the FLO by Boon, Inc. So, I gave the girls a few ideas, and we kept this one after only a couple of shootings. I was so impressed how they ingeniously ad-lib&#8217;ed their way from<strong> FLO making a WaterFall =&gt; to FLO making a Bubble-Fall</strong> <img src='http://americanmuslimmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Their natural, innocent laughter made this much cuter video review, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>So, please enjoy how FLO works. It&#8217;s a water deflector, protective faucet cover, and bubble bath dispenser all-in-one.</p>
<h2>The FLO Making a Bubble-Fall</h2>
<p>httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1lIfMR5xXE</p>

</ul>

<p>[Posted to the HELP board on Monday, April 24, 2006]<br />
So, I came home ready to test my kindergartener, as I reminded everyone at the last meeting, that tests are not available for some grades, so it&#8217;s best to order asap.</p>
<p>Anyways, Gr. K is not available until June 19th. As we&#8217;re ready to test and I want to send my notifications asap, I had to find other options.</p>
<p>Only to find that 2 other homeschool testing administrations are NO longer offering tests for 2006! One cost $50, the other $54 per test.</p>
<p>So, FLO is $35, with time-restraint that you have to return a completed test in 2-weeks. scoring May take 1-3 weeks. <a href="http://www.familylearning.org/index.html">http://www.familylearning.org/index.html</a> {most grades have a 6-8 weeks waiting period}</p>
<p>I just called and ordered mine from Seton Home Study: <a href="http://www.setonhome.org/testing/default.php">http://www.setonhome.org/testing/default.php</a><a href="http://homeschooling.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&amp;sdn=homeschooling&amp;zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.setonhome.org%2Ftesting%2Fdefault.stm"></a><br />
OR<br />
<a href="http://www.setonhome.org/">http://www.setonhome.org/</a> and go to &#8220;Standardize Testing&#8221;</p>
<p>Here are the PROS to Seton:<br />
- ALL grades are presently available, and INstock; goes out in mail 24-hours within order.<br />
- $25 ($10 cheaper).<br />
- There&#8217;s no time-restraint. As testing is year-round, you (the parent) get the test, take as short or long as you want. There&#8217;s no &#8220;checking in&#8221; process. They use the honor-system. All tests received are immediately scored, materials need to be sent back to be scored. They have 100% success rate.<br />
- Test scoring takes average 24-48-hours, they score everyone onsite. Gr. K- 3rd by hand, 4-12 computer.</p>
<p>So, I had to ask: &#8220;How?&#8221; Seton have been doing this for over 15 years, they reuse &#8220;usable&#8221; test and instruction booklets. To save in costs, and &#8220;hey: I&#8217;m all for recycling!&#8221;.</p>
<p>While their curriculum is Catholic-focused, its separate from their testing services. Testing must be secular, confidential, and strictly between client (parent-adminstrator) and themselves. No records are tallied or shared with anyone.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already called them three times with questions. They have easy-secured online ordering&#8230;and obviously, great customer service!</p>
<p>Peace everyone!<br />
~ Ponn<br />
PS. Can you tell&#8230;I have limited &#8220;patience&#8221;?? Hee hee&#8230;hmm&#8230;amazingly I married into &#8220;patience&#8221;&#8230;yeah, right <img src='http://americanmuslimmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
&#8220;Sabra = Patience&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>PPS. I ordered on Monday, received on Thursday. We started testing yesterday, 2 tests a day. We completed 2 more today &amp; will be done tomorrow. [May 2, 2006]</em></p>
