I'm nodding along like a bobble head doll. But that's why I stuck my head back in here. I feel like school is robbing us of actual time we could learn something. I feel like they would do better just doing their own thing out of school - not remotely claiming I could homeschool I can't - but left to their own devices they could at least be reading. Doesn't anyone in her school think that if she has time to puzzle out division problems on the side of her "make a pattern" worksheet that we could skip the worksheet. I'd hoped 2nd grade would have more meat to mold... but I am just starting to realize what I thought were average learners are bright kids in the public school setting - and I had no idea where bottom was... not a slam... but there is nobody in her class to buddy with her. With 31 kids in the room, who has time to really make her day exciting. I'm in a whinny mood myself, sorry.
