tsk, tsk, tsk. Children children... can I not leave the room for a single moment and know you'll behave yourselves while I'm gone? ;)
You're all a hoot and I love you guys!
Today I am putting together an assignment for my kidlettes. I want them to choose something that was invented in the past 75 years and write a 'newspaper article' as though it were front page news and they were living during that time. I figure with internet and library access, they should be able to come up with something pretty interesting!
I wanted to mention that last night in my sleep I reached down and scratched my leg... I wasn't asleep for long. You should see the damage my claws caused! LOL Whooda thunk it?

OOPS! MOI IS IN THE HOUSE! a moment of silence please!
I agree with Cheryl, the project is creative and I wish public school teachers believed that the children could actually think for themselves... There is so much garbage in garbage out! Your children will benefit greatly from your efforts. As the mother of a public school teacher, I get what they are up against, but it becomes a grind um out profession after a while. No enthusiasm, lack of creative juices! Head um up move um out!

Sorry Barbara, but I take offense to your post. As a teacher I have plenty of enthusiasm and creative juices. As a Special Needs teacher who provides home based services, I most certainly DO NOT head um up and move um out.....

Sorry, it was not meant to offend any teachers. It is the way they structure the public school systems. I also have a sister in law who teaches special need children. Has taught for almost 30 years now, and even she states how difficult it is to get the necessary "equipment" to help her students. And she said she generally receives preferential treatment because of the students she teaches. So I stand corrected, it is not the teachers so much as the system they have to operate within.

there are a lot of teachers out here that are burned out and frustrated with the systems they deal with, especially in the bigger cities. nearly all my friends and most of my relatives are teachers and there seems to be consistent problems no matter where you teach. i could never be one and admire people who make it their lifes work as i know barbara does. the pay stinks for the amount of heart and soul you put in.

Hey there,
Cheryl, thanks for the support! It isn't always easy to come up with interesting ideas to keep their attention. Somedays it seems to be fruitless to try! But I persevere and feel like we are all better off for our efforts.
Barbara, I understood what you meant. My daughter worked at an elementary school for a few years and it IS very hard to get the administrative support on a government level to be able to be an effective teacher. My son in law is a HS Spanish teacher. He has been threatened with a knife, cussed out in class by students AND parents because he won't just let their kid slip by so they can be on the baseball team and then told there is nothing the school can do about it to back him up.
PurplePeople, I soooo appreciate you as a Special Ed teacher. For the first 3 years of public school my son just wouldn't talk. He would not talk. He was tested 'non verbally' and at 5 years old, was at a 8 year old IQ. He just wouldn't talk! The school wanted to take him out and put him into Special Ed, but knowing his capability I wanted to have him stay in regular classes but have the assistance of the Resource Lab. That was the best decision for him and we were so incredibly fortunate to have a very devoted resource teacher. I will bless her all the days of my life for what she did for my son!
I don't think Barb was trying to lump all teachers into the catagory of not caring, rather voicing the frustration we as parents feel when we see how government agencies tie the hands of the teachers who try so hard to make a difference.
Thank you again for all you do for the kids who need the most!!

Moi there are obvious reasons why I could never have home schooled any of the 5 children we raised. You always put things so eloquently, and thank you for not taking offence. Our daughter went in full throttle, loving making a difference, and for some of the reasons you just stated, she is 15 years and holding on with her fingernails, (and great nails too by the way!) praying she will make it another 5....Her husband is also a teacher. So I get it, I know what goes on in the classrooms in and around the Atlanta area. And just to be certain, I am not trying to offend or upset anyone out there. This is just my own observation.
