I love Acellus academy. But i would like them more if they had books.
Binary is so cool. I wonder if someday we will switch to hexadecimal. For math we could do binary, for writing we could use hexadecimal, and we could understand computers so much better.
I thought that Acellus could build a basketball gym and all the students that are closest to Acellus headquarters could play on the team. Acellus could join a local school basketball division. Depending on the age of the students that are nearby that can play, it could be high school basketball or middle school basketball. Acellus could let the basketball players stay in some of the IST dorms during the season. And as for the students that cant come and watch the games, Acellus could play the games live through Science Live just like they did with the solar eclipse. I think that if we did that, then we could be a really good basketball team. It all depends on if the students are interested in playing basketball. If we do make a team then Joseph should be the coach.
I think online homeschool programs should have online competitions for math tournaments or something since we can’t do stuff like football BC we have students all over the world who can’t go. So they can sign up to be in the competitions and they could make different tournaments for different grades so it would be fair and there would be 7th graders competing against each other instead of 7th graders and 10th graders competing against each other
I need one of those hoodies! I love the blue and hoodies are kind of my thing. And I think the Acellus Aces is a really good idea
I LOVE THOSE HOODIES!!! I also think that Acellus shoud make a high school sports team. Our team could be called the Acellus Aces.
