Random Crap That I'm Not Even Going to Number

[celticivytiger]

Things I would rather do than sew:
1. Read a book.  Any book.
2. Write a new book. (I am already working on this.)
3. Surf the interwebs.
4. Curl up on the couch and be miserable, watching mindless shows (the kids passed their cold on to me).
5. Design a Team Jacob t-shirt (we're almost done!)
6. Think about cleaning the random clutter that's

Ha, those things are not TMI.

If KidCelt already knows how to read, she would be bored in kindergarten. Maybe you can teach her enough so that she can start school a grade ahead of other people her age. Or maybe not. I think I always wanted to skip a grade and then got a desire to have a really smart and inquisitive child who skips a grade. But that's just me. His ideas sound like something to be implemented into schools more.

But what is on the job front for you? You hinted at something?

Why are you sewing?

[celticivytiger]

Job front for me? Homeschooling, if I choose to go that direction. I didn't get accepted at the university I applied at, which is Zen with me, since I was starting not to want to.

Sewing clothes for myself. The stuff that's commonly available in my price range doesn't flatter my figure, so I'm sewing stuff that does.

I think homeschooling was a boon for me and my siblings. It's not for every family, but a bright, curious child with a bright, curious parent should flourish. Good luck!

Thanks! I think we might be able to pull it off.

I have such mixed feelings about homeschool b/c I have friends that are the poster children for why homeschool is a great and wonderful thing and I have friends that are why it should be outlawed. So I dunno. I'm inclined to think you'd do an excellent job on the education front but my one concern is that kidcelt is on the shy side and I think going to school could help pull her out of that some and help her to socialize etc. Yeah she might be a bit bored since she can read but I dunno what her math skills look like and besides they do all sorts of fun stuff in kindergarten and its only half day so its a good way to ease into the main stream. Just a thought.

I sorry you got sick. That stinks and you'll miss myself and the rest of the presidency embarrassing ourselves in a skit tomorrow night.

#5. Team Jacob?? as in Twilight?

[celticivytiger]

Actually, in AZ, kindergarten is full-day. That's why I'm having second thoughts about putting her in. And she'll overcome her shyness eventually. I'm not worried about that. Thanks for thinking I'd do a good job!

Would that be the skit that the presidency was originally going to perform at the last quarterly activity?

Of course Team Jacob as in Twilight!

[spastichick]

No this is a new skit. This was hatched by the activities committee as a form of entertainment to suck up space in their program. They asked each of the auxillaries to come up with something. (I know I can't spell just ignore that please).

It actually makes me kind of sad that you equate kindergarten with being thrown to the wolves. I adored kindergarten. My friend from next door was in the class with me and we had a glorious time together, and the teacher, Mrs. Graham, was one of my all-time favorites.

[celticivytiger]

Ahh, well, take heart that I didn't mean your kindergarten--I hope no memories were tainted in the writing of this post. Mostly, I don't like the idea of full-day school for KidCelt. And I'm not a fan of No Child Left Behind.

It's all in the theoretical/experimental stages, anyway. So cherish those memories, L, cherish them!

[kopernik]

I'm not a fan of No Child Left Behind.

I'd doubt the sanity and intelligence of anyone who was.

What age does school start? Kids are starting to go all day here as long as they are four by the end of December. So young. I don't think the first year is mandatory though and most kids are probably in daycare already anyway so parents save money.
