YUM!!!!!!


We are having the state testing this week too-- son says" MOm, it's a breeze" or something to that effect. Doesn't he know that his laid back manner freaks me out MORE?!?!?! I kept a smile on my face and wished him well.

Personally the tests should be to rank the teachers not the students . . . but alass that is not how it is used here. Eventually the scores will be used to determine which schools he can get into . . .

Quote: LEarning the value of school is a progression. When my kids were little and sick, I kept them home. As they got older and could deal with a head cold I sen them to school any way--- afterall that IS where they picked up the germs. Everyday I ask about school and show an interest, to impart that I beleive education is important . . . . .eventually, my kids cannot miss any school even if sick, as attendance is one of the criteria for vo-tech admission . . . sets them up to have a choice of high school . . . . you are doing a good job helping your child learn education is important.

I try. I don't want them to make the same mistakes I did. I didn't appreciate school in general. In 8th grade I failed every class except math and science (even failed gym) because I just simply didn't feel like doing it. So when I was a yr behind everyone I knew, school became even less important. I was skipping all but a few classes (math, science, and theater) and ended up dropping out in 10th. I did however petition the court to get my GED before I turned 18 and aced it. But I wish I had played more attention and done what I should have in school.

In chicken news, no visible pips yet but I have at least 3 areas in the incubator peeping. Today is day 20 so not even due until tomorrow.

Hey I just saw a information "byte" on Facebook that if you study while chewing a particular flavor of gum and then take the test while chewing the same flavor you recall better.

my sons school actually does the exercise while you study approach. After breakfast and before class they all do stretches and light exercises while reviewing things like sight words, numbers and letters, math problems, spelling and vocab words. Depending on the grade of course. Its pretty neat and seems like it works a bit.
