School

Turns out the neighbour’s kid and ours are the only ones on the bus tomorrow. First time in three generations we are the last on the bus and the first off. Usually it’s the opposite......... the joys of living in the middle of nowhere. 😎


Sheepwheat our home schooling last spring included a mixology course. If you need a ****tail and are in the neighbourhood stop by. Not sure if it’s appropriate for kindergarten or a grade one to do so but it definitely fits under life skills in my book😉

I guess recess will put the classes on a rotation of different areas of the field and playground. Hope they get along with their classmates as that’s all they get to play with.

Fun times....

Educating a generation of ......well I’m not sure. What excuses are we gonna make for more kids that can’t logically and rationally figure their way thru life. Sad state of affairs we are in with all the rules we impose and don’t even realize the long term effects we are going to have to deal with when this is over. For no reason I might add.

Universities in Disarray. It’s not that they haven’t had time to get organized. Kids don’t have any information on their labs, where they are, are they on-line? How do you have on-line labs? And classes start today. Oh yeh, even though universities aren’t open to students and they have great difficulty accessing their professors and information, the tuition went up.

Our school had a worship Obama booklet the teachers sent home with grade one kids. It was truly unreal.

Considering that your kids go to home school, and your wife is the teacher, I would be having a serious conversation with the " administration" about that type of propaganda.
I would finish it with one of the acronyms about laughing, but wouldn't want to give chuck the satisfaction.
There is a really good joke over on combine forum about one kid complaining about the teacher not knowing anything and smelling like Vodka etc, and the other kid is defending "mom".

So that’s what goes on in the “teachers lounge” I guess.

About dropping out - I understand your point. This is very problematic, given that not all students go back to school - about half of the students remain home-schooled, which is not a plus - at home one is free to be distracted by other factors, while at school all the time is spent on learning a new subject. Each year, medical schools in the United States turn away more than 60% of applicants to medical schools, and students with advanced degrees in another subject, so there is a severe shortage of doctors. Caribbean Medical Schools is a mainstay of many U.S. residency programs, and as such provides guidelines for applying to their schools.
