I was shocked and awed yesterday...when I was able to get the little man to sit down and do his homework, without any footdragging or complaining.
I don't remember my parents sitting down and doing hours of homework with us in elementary school.
When I was older my dad would sit down with me for our nightly crying and yelling session, referred to by my mother as "math tutoring". I have a lot of my dad's impatience when it comes to teaching. Gad.
But, back to my original point, why the hell do teachers pile so much homework on the kids!? It turns into a huge punishment for the whole family, taking away from what evenings are supposed to be: quiet and relaxing family time, time to unwind and get away from the hustle-bustle of the day.
I am blessed that J is such a hard worker. He rarely gives me attitude about work- be it school or chores. T... requires more intervention in this department.

Assignment 2. Homework. A great stock shot is waiting to be taken! tag with cwd 522.
Old door in the Victorian walled vegetable garden, Tyntesfield, Bristol (NT). Lovely old wooden door, greyed by time in the gold stone wall. reminds me of the Secret Garden.
Homework was a part of the learning process when we were kids and it certainly still is today. Especially with younger children, we play a large part in holding them accountable for getting their homework done…and done correctly.
stupid geography teacher...I could rant all day, but my essay won't complete it'self =(
bye everyone
Though it doesn't look like much homework is getting done.
Also, two weeks left!!!
Where else can you find me?
Finally, eh?
I'm so terribly sorry about not uploading for such a long time. I've been reeeeaaally busy, I went abroed twice, and I think you'll soon see the pictures I took there.
Well, this photo actually gives quite a good image of what I've been doing. I'm currently studying at two schools, because I went a little crazy on the studying thing last year and sort of finished 3 of 6 tests that I normally should have taken next spring. So I'm taking three subjects at my old school and 6 in the new "high school" or whatever you want to call it (different school system). So I'm busy! I'm busy a lot these days...I have the feeling that I'm using the sentence: "I can't, I have to study" waaay to much.
And that's actually the reason I haven't uploaded. "I couldn't, I had to study". What a lame excuse.
Anyway.
My cousin Hildur and her sister HerdÃs went to Vietnam last week. And guess what? Hildur let me babysit her camera! She's not coming back until december!!! It's so great :D
It's a Canon EOS 400D. That actually doesn't tell me much, but maybe it rings somebody else's bells.
I have also not been able to resist looking a bit (or a lot) in Hildur's book, How to photograph absolutely everything. Now THAT's a fun book to read. Or look at :)
Thanks a million, Hildur!
Well I've written way too much so I'm shutting up right now. I have a lot of pictures to upload!
After we twirled we put some shine on the table, ran the vacuum, and did a little homework. So we had a nice combination of fun and work yesterday.
We got home late tonight from rehearsing for our Peter Pan play. To speed up bedtime, Minmei offered to help Julian with his math homework.

Yeah I'm actually working on it. Well, not right now....
Instead I'm being distracted by flickr and commenting on my photo...

Big homework night tonight. For me, several chapters for my Photojournalism class. For the dogs, first night of intensive training to correct an escalating resource guarding problem. Actually, Oscar is the one who's having the worst guarding problem, but Lucy (trying here to be professorial) is always the instigator. So after reading about news photographers, I need to read through this training book for dogs. Hopefully, with Lucy taking notes.
(By the way, Oscar was in Puppy Guantanamo for the taking of this picture as he'd just had a big episode over a rawhide bone.)
I had to bug her while she was doing her homework....fortunately she doesn't mind her picture taken.
Thanks Kels!
Daily info, homework, and agenda posted on white board. I use the old "Vis-a-Vis" overhead markers to draw the lines and put in the headings. Then when I erase the DRY-erase marker, the lines and headings stay put. Once in a while, I use cleaner to erase the whole thing and then redo it to tidy it up.
Notice no homework listed for math/science yet, b/c other 5th grade teacher teaches that and the kids help me fill that in when they get back.
