26735. arkymalarky - 1/21/2012 7:50:42 PM Yes, they quit doing that in most public schools. Mose was put in enrichment which got less valuable as she got older. But early reading and writing are not criteeia for those programs. They were going to skip my 1st grade year but I was physically way smaller than my kindergarten classmates. Sure don't have that problem now. 26736. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 4:42:47 AM I could not stand it to nov. if gingrich got the nomination. What an insufferable, arrogant drip. 26737. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 4:46:27 AM Ooh. Thought this was the politics thread. Sorry. 26738. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 6:31:30 AM To post on the subj above, I also read at 3 which is why I was so far ahead in kindergarten. 26739. wabbit - 1/22/2012 5:03:03 PM I was always thankful that my mother refused to have me skip any grades. I was the youngest in my class as it was. 26740. vonKreedon - 1/30/2012 8:33:14 PM Over in the Mote thread at TPW, Cal says:
But Pelle, why don't you post here? No one bites.
Haha....pretty much everyone bites at TPW. Since pretty much all the non-conservatives got tired of the biting and left the conservatives have had to resort to gnawing on each other. 26741. arkymalarky - 1/31/2012 5:14:40 AM I was so glad Pelle updated us. Sounds like life is going great for him. 26742. arkymalarky - 1/31/2012 5:21:20 AM This is what's great about small town life:
Stan had to license the civic and he was late and our friend at the revenue office called the courthouse to see if we'd assessed our taxes, which of course we hadn't, and she assessed for us on the phone. So for once we don't owe a late assessment fee. 26743. judithathome - 1/31/2012 9:07:18 PM Over in the Mote thread at TPW, Cal says:

Ha! They STILL have a Mote thread? How high school can ya get!
(No offense to your students, Arky and MsNo!)
26744. iiibbb - 1/31/2012 9:54:34 PM What is TPW.
I never understood why everyone left. 26745. iiibbb - 1/31/2012 9:57:48 PM I prefer the small cadre of the mote, and always liked its diversity. I don't like most political websites because of the trolling, and you just can't get to "know" anyone well enough to have a complete conversation.
The only thing I didn't like about the mote was trying to jump back in the stream if you walked away for too long. You could get 100 posts behind something quick... all while 2-5 conversations were going on at the same time. 26746. judithathome - 1/31/2012 11:44:15 PM By the way, 3i3b, I think it's great that your son can read!
My son was very articulate by age 3...I chalked it up to me reading aloud to him whatever book I was, at the time, reading.
We went on a long trip with him to Colorado when he was three and we drove a Corvair...I'd made him a little "pallet" in the back seat which folded down and expected him to sleep back there (pre seat-belt era) and instead, he stood in the back between our two bucket seats and talked the entire time.
I was amazed at one point when he said "Look...the sky and the clouds are reflected on the hood of the car!" To me, it was amazing in both language usage and in the concept of him recognizing what a reflection was. 26747. iiibbb - 2/1/2012 2:13:13 AM cool.
B blows my mind all the time. I just hope we can stay ahead of him. 26748. arkymalarky - 2/1/2012 5:06:53 AM You don't need to. It's great to see them see what you don't. I love students who are smarter than I am and see things I miss. You're going to have such fun learning with your son! 26749. arkymalarky - 2/1/2012 5:07:41 AM I love rhat story Judith!
26750. arkymalarky - 2/1/2012 5:18:16 AM I agree with you 3i. I hate online drama. Or any drama, for that matter. There are plenty of good online places to play now, but I have long-time true friends here and I get tired of the same old rehash elsewhere. I read tpm or huffpo comments some, have posted a bit, and see some familiar people. But it's not new or very deep discussion, mostly people talking past each other, and I'm more focused on issues, especially wrt education, irl. I dislike education forums generally, which is too bad. They don'thave much substance to them, mostly impractical trendy meta crap. 26751. iiibbb - 2/1/2012 5:50:04 AM I suppose I mean stay ahead of him such that I can keep his energy going in constructive ways. 26752. arkymalarky - 2/1/2012 6:53:16 AM Oh you will! Y'all are going to have a blast for years. 26753. arkymalarky - 2/3/2012 3:38:13 AM Y'all ginna get storms Judith? Went home with a migraine--only my second this year--and clouds rolled in and it was gone. Rhank goodness, but I hope I don't have to drive in storms tomorrow.
Oh, and did you see the meteorite? 26754. Wombat - 2/3/2012 6:16:10 PM Wombette is now 4 for 4 will college acceptances. Only 2 more to hear from. How we will afford it....
