New Teen Craze!

By

Forget this earring thing G just did. That's nothing. He's nowhere near as fashionable as the teen WEREWOLVES wandering around schools in "packs." I guess in Missouri, we are behind the times fashion-wise, but I have yet to see children howling in large groups outside our local mall and wearing long furry tails. As explained in the video, everyone is part animal and we must find this part of ourselves and embrace it. Sort of Darwin meets occult spiritual practice meets third grade reasoning skills sort of philosophy. Does anyone else remember the cheesy Teen Wolf movies from the 80's? Car surfing is apparently not part of this culture, however.

  1. Wha....?

    A TAIL? Hanging from your heiney? Is COOL?

  2. For me, it's sort of a toss-up. Do I wanna see tails or underwear? Hmmm...

  3. "Darwin meets occult spiritual practice meets third grade reasoning skills sort of philosophy." ...ah, the best kind [smile].

    As for tails, furries have been around for a long while.

  6. I'm sorry but this just made me laugh. Imagine being the president of something or other & some grotty reporter digs up this video & there you are in all your glory with a tail hanging down behind!lol Oh man! To die for. I think I'll get me one of those.

  7. I had to chuckle when the girl said something along the lines of "Gangs are just posers. They want to get attention." Oh yeah, you are not garnishing any attention with a tail hanging from your "bumper." Dumb.

  9. "You don't need to fear us?"

    Hmmm . . . I was thinking, "You don't need to laugh at us?"

    Okay, I won't worry about David asking to skip the last three days of school because "the kids say nobody does anything because they are done with finals" . . .

    They are not troublesome in the school environment . . . but will they get a job?

    Oh, in high school, I was a homo sapien . . . that was my posse.

  11. Chris, I'm sure this craze will pass rather quickly, too! :)

    Julie, I thought that as well!

    Tammy, I wonder sometimes if anyone knows what a homo sapien in high school or if they yell that as an insult. :)

Reading Curriculum: ABeka Book and BJU Press

By
Did you know that in the state of Missouri, homeschoolers must teach reading as a separate subject?  I don't know how anyone could homeschool well without teaching their child to read... but OK. 

I got many of my ABeka books used and collected them over time.  I'm glad I came across these readers early in my homeschooling years.  It teaches children to read step-by-step.  I don't think I've seen a more effective reading program for the elementary years.  The children love the stories, and what I appreciate about them is that there is a rich and varied language even in simple-to-read books in this series. 

My set is pretty old, and some are even from the 1960's and no longer listed in the reading series.  I think if I had to do things over again somehow, I think I'd just spend on a curriculum set and be done with it.  That's the thing, though, with homeschooling.  By the time you figure out what the perfect curriculum is for you, your children have graduate…

Homeschooling is NOT So Hard.

By
I wish I'd have known this starting out. I wish I'd have known that it's actually LESS work to just homeschool your child, than to be an "involved parent" at school.

We've enjoyed elementary school with our older boys. *Most* of the teachers were actually pretty competent and caring (the others, I save for another blog post, another day...). We had the children involved in extra activities like the Spanish Club or Service Club, or choir, and they got a fair bit out of the experience.

But it's a LOT of work.

You get about a ton of worksheets that must be done by a certain time. Usually on a day when you're sick or have no time. You get the phone calls about this or that, and about a zillion sheets per day that sometimes contain important news, so you MUST go through them daily. The schools also *love* to throw in half days, teacher in-service days and early dismissals. Not so bad, unless you have children at more than one school and the schedu…

Holiday Gifts for the Homeschool Teacher!

By
Merrymaking hint:  leave this post up on your phone/ computer for your family to "accidentally" find!  Let the magic begin!

 All teachers love a little appreciation every now and then, including homeschoolers.   I don't know about you, though, but I don't want any apple crap.  So first rule:  no apple crap! 

Otherwise I'm pretty open.  I love getting gifts, even if it's just something small or simple.  One thing I love is when my children want to help out and make lunch or clean up or put their laundry away.  Or just behave themselves and get their math done.  This is a really big thing when you think about it.  

And from the adults in my life, the gift of coffee always shows love - or rather, someone not wanting an "I need coffee" emergency in the middle of winter after a big snowstorm.  Somehow, I always have a lot of coffee in my pantry during the winter months.  (Guess why.) Thanks, D!
