Ärende: education  was: putting up
==================================
-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 08 Feb 14  18:07:53 <=-

 NB>>> really a very good fit for homeschooling... I couldn't even
 NB>>> teach him piano, even though I had no trouble with teaching any
 NB>>> one else... he couldn't distinguish between my being mom and my
 NB>>> being teacher as being at all viable... ;)
 RH>> I had a bit of that when I taught Deborah in our mother's co-operative
 RH>> preschool in TX and was Girl Scout troop leader for Rachel for a year
 RH>> in Germany.
 NB>> Having observed for a while now, I'm of the opinion that not every
 NB>> situation is viable for homeschooling... it is very nice for many
 NB>> families, probably even the best option for some... but there are some
 NB>> children that just aren't good candidates for homeschooling, and some
 NB>> parents that aren't particularly cut out to teach, either... and some
 NB>> parent-child combinations that just don't work for it...

 RH> True, I probably could have done it with Rachel easier than Deborah.
 
A friend who home-schooled all her kids eventually gave up with her
oldest, and sent her to public high school.. the dynamic was a lot like
mine with Rob... she had no problem with the other three, though... :)
 
 NB>>> any time you send your kids to school, there will be some at home
 NB>>> supplementation necessary... I did a fair bit along the way, too...  :)
 RH>> To ensure the kid gets a good education, it has to be done.
 NB>> Quite.

 RH> Rachel cut her reading teeth on the comics in the local newspapers.
 RH> (G) 

Rob was doing it from signs... ;)  So we got some of the Richard Scarry
and the Suess books for him... :)

 NB>>> making it on my own... I got my recipe probably from a cookbook
 NB>>> (possibly from the box, though)...
 RH>> We had some at a local Italian restaurant--similar to what my MIL
 RH>> makes so we knew what Mom made was not the real thing. She could pass
 RH>> it off on us when we were young but as we got older and knew the good
 RH>> stuff, she quit making it. Then I met/married Steve...................
 NB>> Aww... you could have just eaten her version, and called it something
 NB>> else...  ;)  Unless it was totally lousy, though, I guess...  :)

 RH> It was totally lousy--the only resemblence to the real thing was the
 RH> noodles. BTW, I made some lasagne last night, used the no boil noodle
 RH> sheets. I'll go back to regular noodles.

The no boil are supposed to get their liquid from the ingredients as it
bakes...?  I've done that sort of thing, but not with dry pasta, only
with the refrigerated prepared ones or the frozen ones... :)

 NB>> Maybe at a picnic sometime...  :)  Or the equivalent...  :)

 RH> We'll try to get to the next one, last couple have been on the same
 RH> week end as family committments.

I know...  hopefully the schedule will work out better this year... :)
