Who was it that recommended Dreambox here recently? This is your fault. wink I signed Hanni up for a free trial, and now I can't get her off of it.

I have to admit I'm enthusiastic too, for different reasons. It forces her to focus and follow the rules, if she wants to keep playing. You can't have a power battle with Dreambox the way you can with Mom. And BAM, she has suddenly gotten concepts that I've been trying on and off to explain to her for months, except that she'd rather grab the manipulatives out of Mom's hand and make up her own rules.

I knew she was capable of getting this stuff, I knew it, but I wasn't willing to turn into gonzo hot-housing Mom. Well, Dreambox has accomplished in three hours on a Saturday afternoon what I could not.

Tomorrow should be . . . interesting.
