I don't know why I headed it that way? Just popped into my mind. I don't think I can work the 13 thing here today so will give you some random ramblings.
So yesterday I went to parent teacher interviews at Kaikoa's school. He is over 93 % in Social Studies, 83% in Science, not so good in Math but he is going to start going in at lunch. His English teacher looks about 17 she doesn't give grades at this point she says but he has a G for effort? Apparently it's some new kind of teaching technique. Frankly I don't like it. I want to see a grade. So what if you do alot of effort with crappy work? Or say little effort with excellent results? The lower math mark really kind of surprises me. We are a family of math genius's. I guess Kaikoa didn't get that gene. I guess I will have to be happy with him getting a C+ or maybe squeaking out a B.
Today I am going to the Longhouse with Nevada's class on a field trip that should be fun. I love the whole school bus experience. I always bring a pocket full of candy and hand it out to kids around me. Even kids I don't know I will hand a treat to.
Survivor tonight I hope some calamity happens to those irritating Russel's.
I believe the dreadlocked Russell has to leave the game tonight - he's the one those medical emergency promos are about. Sorry Kai didn't get the family math gene - but everything else is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI don't like that no grades stuff either........fortunately your kids are smart enough to live through whatever "teaching method" is inflicted upon them.
