I've heard too many horror stories about the things that go on in classrooms, so I try to get into each kid's class at least once a month. I like getting to know the teachers and their teaching styles, seeing how they interact with my kids, and getting to know my kids' friends and their classroom environment. Plus, the teachers appreciate the help and goodness knows they need all the support they can get!KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-11205557419543935412012-06-18T11:38:44.155-06:002012-06-18T11:38:44.155-06:00Gina, I agree.

He wrote that he often hears kids chuckling to themselves while taking tests because they recognize the tricks that the test-makers included. Way to build the kids' confidence and make test-taking less of a chore!KaseyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394640941485859111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-20711329123705086012012-06-18T11:05:06.053-06:002012-06-18T11:05:06.053-06:00We homeschool and love it.

I have some quibbles about public education, but mostly we homeschool because we feel it's better suited to our son's learning style and job situations for my husband and myself allow for it. <br /><br />I'll have to read up on this guy.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319256147944231576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-58321907487707519702012-06-18T09:23:15.366-06:002012-06-18T09:23:15.366-06:00I do homeschool, but I've never heard of this ...I do homeschool, but I've never heard of this guy!
