You get my vote in the category of Best Use of An Emoticon in the War on Terrorism. cheersmate
Besides, when we don't use emoticons, the terrorists win, right?

You need to take an "assessment". Like a test. Has ALEKS been pushing those at you along the way, every 20 or so topics? It's supposed to, but I have haven't had one pop up automatically since November. I go into my master account and request one.
I remember homeschool being fun. I can't decide if ALEKS is fun, but it's nothing like home school was for me, which was more like what they later started calling "unschooling".

That'll make you love learning. cheersmate If ALEKS were like homeschool I would go out and buy 3 boxes of
cookies from Trader Joe's, measure the defectives and develop a hypothesis test for the defectives in the entire population. Then eat the cookies.
