@TheRobertBshow As I worked on organizing Math Map booklets today, I considered this. I thought about doing this for a company & making $15/hr. Or, I could be doing this & next cleaning the kitchen & preparing supper, etc—my $150k salary. Serving my family is worth more! Joy not drudge!
@TheRobertBshow I get your point, but half my Challenge A class is into this. Math is hard to get through without shared looks and giggling—especially when I happen to land on that spot of the number line. 😬
@scrowder We vote on judges’ retention and such but have little info on their records or the ramifications of what their past judgments have been. How can we vote wisely when this is the case? This has always bothered me. There’s only grassroots uproar about one here and there.
@CatholicAwesome Nearly 20 years ago, I was in a teacher education program for secondary English education. My classmates of the same content area couldn’t use punctuation to save their lives or write worth anything. That is who is teaching the upcoming generation.
@NatureGirl_21 I have also heard that these diagnostic tests are not completely accurate, so the percentage of perfectly healthy babies being aborted due to Downs diagnosis is troubling.
@HazelAppleyard_ Hey, I have a noticeable birthmark that kids would always ask me about. I hated when they did, but I would answer their question and move on. I didn’t think to get upset with kids for natural curiosity.
@mom_of_littles You can do it! You taught them to hold a spoon, talk, pick up toys. You can teach them 1+1 and ABC! Do they know colors? Shapes? Animal sounds? Did you teach them those things? Those are academics! You are already doing it! I second the Classical Conversations vote.
