A thought provoking link. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting this link. One part that really caught my attention was this: "And over 50 percent of the Finnish adult population participates in adult-education programs." If you would ask your friend more information about this aspect of Finland's education system and report back to us, I would be grateful. The US's system is so broken, I'm wondering if this might be one of our answers. (If we could get adults more excited about learning history, literature, science, etc.) Specifically in regards to the Finnish system, I'm wondering a little what that 50 percent means. Here in the states lots of us attend seminars or a week long class here and there for continuing education in our field, but I wouldn't really consider that adult-education.

Welcome! (I've been here since the old board, but recently assumed a new name.)

:grouphug: I really know how you feel. My boy also tries so hard, but some people won't forgive and forget. It doesn't seem to matter how well he behaves now. I fantasize about sending out those cutesy letters sometime in the future heralding his great successes. Just to say SEE! SEE! He's terrific and you were small minded...

I told my 10 and 12 year old that they don't have to love each other, but they do have to treat each other with the kind of common courtesy they would offer a stranger. My house has been calmer ever since. When one or the other is discourteous, I make them apologize immediately. It's not the kind of loving relationship I had envisioned for my kids, but I'm hoping things might improve with time now that the bickering has ended. Your kids might be a little young for this advice, but it's something to consider if this continues when they are older.

I have never considered the Kindle as something that might help my daughter who has some difficulties with reading. I'm going to try and borrow a Kindle from a friend and see if it is helpful.

Oh, we have tried Rosetta Stone, it was glitchy, so those problems have probably been resolved, but generally I just didn't like it.
