But anyway, I think testing can be useful when it comes to determining a pace of learning for a student, so they aren't bored to death, or overwhelmed with difficulty. Sure, it won't identify every talent, but it can be used to at least set a baseline speed that the child should be taught at.

You know how kids are they pick on the ones that aren't the same as them. Sigh when in a group people abhor being singled out. I spent most of my career being one of the good ole boys.... Dressing down.... just because I was working in a male dominated field in aerospace. girls stood out then like sore thumbs. then when women broke into the field more it was can you measure up Yah you got in on the quota system...

Education is going to have to go far away from a classroom entirely sort of like Spock when he was growing up. but not so austere.

Ho man I got a new keyboard for Christmas and I LOVE it but its taking some getting used to...

sorry I had my squirrel moment.

Unfortunately not the way mom cooks.... Bwhahahah Oh I have learned bunches cooking making sauces and gravy. Mom was stunned when she offered to help me with the gravy a couple of years back... "Naw mom I got it" O my gawd she was amazed No lumps No flour taste Wait... No milk either.... Heh heh heh ... How did you do that.

I added milk because they expected it but I had chicken broth ready. to mix in... if it needed it.

Though I do have trouble with baking and have to resort to a mix. I dont eat bread often enough to make my own and it will only be for just me eventually... I dont eat sweets either... unless its store bought.

I sometimes put too much seasoning on things... I try to be careful with salt but it just doesnt work every time. moving to sea salt has helped... you can see it so you dont over salt.

  • You have a Very smart kid. I agree the educational system is very broken. You have a lot of smart people In your family. Sometimes sending kids to school is the only option and it can works out ok. my wife went to school and she's good:D But if I have the opportunity to home school them in going to take it. Theres other reason why I favor home schooled to. That's terrible that you were a single parent. Times can be tough. :(. Don't get discharged.. Someone I knew always said you have to inherent a farm. I almost believed him but I kept trying. Until I was able to afford farm land on my own budget.:D

I am a horrible teacher... though home schooling was not an option. I tried to help him with his homework when he puzzled over stuff but DANG the handouts were unreadable and made no freaking sense. I puzzled over it and let him do it the way he was taught. Then explained to him there are Many Many different ways to do math and not to be discouraged. They were teaching freaking Algebra in the second grade. SMH... Learn to add and subtract multiply and divide... for pete sakes...

Same went with writing... Practice practice practice pages and pages of letters and words and capitals and upper case lower case.... And Script... or Handwriting... He got through school making characatures with his letters... He doesnt Know how to read or write Script... SMH I guess they expect people to type every thing or text... Voice recognition software...

Hes thirty years old for petes sake... His Printing is getting more legible more readable.

Ok rants over... Being a single parent was a blessing in disguise In some ways he had a Grandpa and a Great Grandpa to pal around with and a Grandma and a Great Grandma for day care. and they doted over him. His father was a non sequeter. Called me occasionally when he was drunk and told me he was going to he11 because of DS. And that I should get married for his sake...

The calls got fewer and fewer hes never seen his son except one picture I shared of him wearing a toy tool kit he had sent for his birhtday

Hi Deb, I hate that my DIL is home schooling my grandkids. She can't spell, how is she going to teach them? She is just too lazy to get her butt out of bed early to send them to school.
 
Sean you judge yourself too harshly. I would love to hear you doing songs in your native tongue. I listen to many Native American songs in their tongue and enjoy them. I check out youtube and the three threads caveman pops up on. Love to explore new and different cultures.
