Hey, he was not the average sort of Kindergartener. ;-) (If he really did just turn 50, would be 5 yrs. old in '62, & apparently demanding to say his prayers out loud, in his classroom.) Cathy No, the first year I went to a private kindergarten. The public school didn't really have one back then. |

I'm not 50 yet, I started Kindergarten the day AFTER Labor Day in 1962. You keep proving over and over again that you're a liberal and therefore part of the problem, instead of part of the solution. You seem to be Politically Correct. You live in New Jerk City. You think the war in Iraq is wrong. You think the Supreme Court decision in 1962 was right. |
for one item: I live in upstate NY - way upstate - approx. 5 hours from NYC.

And YES I have watched the nation's educational system go down the drain since 1962. I watched as the schools started scrambling for other songs to sing at Christmas and Easter, lest the American Communist Liberation Union (for such is its real purpose) should sue them. By the time I finished high school in 1975, standards had gone down quite a bit. My brother, who was 7 years behind me in school, was learning stuff 8 years after I did, i.e. by then they'd dumbed down the grades almost a whole grade. Then my sister, who was 6 years behind was almost another year behind my brother schoolwise. And she was a Straight A student and participated in quite a few gifted and talented programs. She was bored in school most of the time and had to find her own ways to keep from getting bored. Especially in high school she knew as much as a lot of her teachers. So don't lie to me, you liberal leftist liar and don't tell me I didn't see what happened. Engels vs Vitale in 1962 should rank right up there along with Dred Scott, Plessy vs Ferguson and Roe vs Wade as some of the worst decisions the Supreme Court ever made. We had to have a war to fix up Dred Scott and nearly a war to fix up Plessy vs Ferguson. Are we going to have to have a war to fix up Engels vs Vitale and Roe vs Wade. I'd almost be willing to bet you're a liberal feminist, too, and contaminating our kids with that garbage, too. About how women have the right to abortion on demand right up to the last freeking minute. You probably admire Hillary's frinds, like Donna the Dyke Shelela, Yes she is a known homosexual and very millitant about it, too. And she hates men. I have it on very good authority. And she has no right to push her view of the world off on kids, but she does. One of the advantages of moving around the country so much is you get a lot of connections in the oddest places. So now I've finally lost my patience with you. You can't even laugh at yourself, the final indicator of a Loonie Left Liberal. I bet the only time you ever laughed is when you were smoking pot when you were at the universtiy studying to be a teacher. What's even sadder, I had some teachers that started out the same year you did. They were a lot more cheerful than you, and they had their heads on a lot straighter. Charles of Schaumburg |

Instruction via PCs in schools has been in the news lately - studies re: advantageous or not sort of deal. Therefore my brain automatically assumed... Cathy LOL! YEah, I was referring to Political Correctness! Gald to see that you're probaly not one of them, and have your mind right (to steal from Paul Newman...)in thinking PC was Personal Computer  THAT kind of PCteaching is a GOOD thing! |
indicating that in some situations at least, no real increase in learning
taking place w/PCs in school. Of course, like virtually anything, there are
a slew of variables involved, & pros & cons.

reviewing the mult./div. tables (& doing equivalent fractions) in Math.
Yesterday, when reviewing the doubles, I intro-ed them to "x" squared &
square roots, just for funsies. The concept is very easy, but it's
certainly not in the third gr. curriculum, so they got all excited - big kid
stuff (I think it's in the 5th gr. curriculum). And now they 'get' what
that one key is, on calculators. ;-) reading: besides decoding & fluency,
of course we do literal comprehension. But inferential thinking,
compare/contrast, etc. is required, though not all of them are truly ready
for it yet.

My dad used to push me around in a red wagon ....and REQUIRE me to
recite the multiplication tables while we were doing it.
My kids know the multiplication tables....no thanks to the education
system!
