MarkW Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 For the first time since when? Around two months.

I've got materials here and some in the mail and she's been reading me her books (with some assistance) and writing letters to Santa and various Disney characters.

Slache Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I am currently low on faith in humanity and will do something to fix that because it is a bad place to be.* *Not related to college girl's boyfriend. He seems to be a good lad. Yesterday I was extremely sick. I couldn't keep anything down, I was really weak, headache, just the whole 9 yards. Matt came home and cleaned up, made dinner, played with the kids and never complained. Then he made me breakfast this morning in case I was too sick to do it myself. Also, he's been late coming home because SN Cambodian friend has a thing at work he's terrified about and honestly shouldn't have to do, so Matt's helping him prepare for it. Other people are helping too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think maybe you should put her back in school until you can take the time to really teach her? Don't forget about education unboxed. And quite frankly Mark, you spend a lot of time putting down this site and now the owner of this site who has spent a heck of a lot of time and money to make all of this available to you.

Tsuga Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bananas. If I can stomach it I'll make a laundry list later. There's no conspiracy to program children against religion in public schools, I'll just start there. ??? I didn't get that from the version I read. I'm pretty pro-Public-School and extremely secular and I did not get that vibe at all. I'll be sad if it's been revised for the worse. I got my copy in what, 2006? 2007 mayyyybe? Basically before knew my daughter and who she was and thought that homeschooling could work for us. I thought it was the best homeschooling book I'd read thus far, aside possibly from a book that referenced grade-by-grade level expectations (Homeschooling Year by Year), which was super useful pre-Common Core. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I mean... in theory. Actually I ended up farming it out because for a variety of reasons, most of them having to do with personality, homeschooling was not a good choice for us. Oh, well. I still use it as a reference for learning stages and after schooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon me, but you're being snarky because I criticized something that you're taking personally. I won't hold it against you, but I won't lose sleep over it either. The very first thing you did when I got to this forum was private message me so that you could instruct me in how to act properly and what I was allowed and not allowed to criticize here. Sorry to say, I think maybe you ought to spend less time being a busy body. And JoJosMom, if you agree that we should confine our honesty to boundary lines which encircle the host of this site, well, I think that's kind of anti-intellectual, don't you? Tsuga - I focused in on one or two chapters specifically that I found... pretty weird.

MarkW Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I may not have couched my opinion in lots of lacey language, but I don't think I was rude. I was truthful. You are being snarky. I have said that I'd like to be more formal than we're being but have also said I don't feel any sense of emergency. It's been about 14 weeks. I don't think she's going to become a delinquent over not having a written curriculum in that time. You instructed me in how to behave and I've since heard the opposite from others, so, while I'm not picking any sides what I'm saying is that I think PMing people "rules" of your own has more to do with being a busy body than being kind. I'll admit that I could have been more polite about the book, but if you're going to set yourself up to instruct people in the advancement of academics, I think you'd better be rigorous (and prepared for criticism when you're not.) To be fair I wasn't very specific but I also wasn't looking to start a huge fight over individual quotes from the text. I think anybody thinking that public education somehow excises the fact that historical politicians and leaders were men and women of faith... is maybe looking for a fight to pick. My curriculum in public school as a child certainly addressed the fact that this or that figure held these or those beliefs. The "Fallacies" chapter to me seemed like an attempt to pick a fight where there isn't one and it felt disingenuous to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the rest of the book that talks about educational strategies seemed fine to me, but then there were pages and pages of, frankly, agenda-laden stuff that seemed pretty lacking and sort of out of place. I read it cover to cover. That said, this was one of the earlier editions. Agenda? Nah. I felt she described the homeschooling landscape pretty well. I think it's important to read it as descriptive, not prescriptive. But again, I don't know which edition you are reading and I do know that she has made substantial edits. I think anybody thinking that public education somehow excises the fact that historical politicians and leaders were men and women of faith... This is interesting. I don't really want to pay for another edition--I don't believe that classical education and the overall structure could have changed that much--but I'm curious. Feel free to PM me as I'm interested to know what has been updated in this regard. But also... there is a difference between consistency and correctness, as you know. Do you believe she is inconsistent, or incorrect? I didn't get inconsistency from the edition I have. Naturally we disagree on some points, but overall I found it very useful. I appreciate her laying out her motivations. I think a bare spine without theory behind it would not make sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate her laying out her motivations. I think a bare spine without theory behind it would not make sense. I think it's inconsistent to be rigorous about academic and educational theory but then get a bit wobbly when your pet issues are being discussed, especially when you're the one on the soapbox. I did not read it from cover to cover, but I did read some early chapters on theory that seemed fairly sound (I didn't agree with all of it, but it seemed earnest and honest)... and then I saw the "Fallacies" bit in the TOC and that put my hackles up because it was just pontificating and not well supported. So, I think if it was couched in something like "look, as the author, I'm human, and here are my personal feelings and perhaps, biases" but it's not framed like that at all. It's framed as if the public school system is "afraid" to address religious topics and it kind of just comes off as self-aggrandizement. So yeah, up a few posts I was definitely more flip than necessary. I should have been specific in my criticism. So I'm sorry for that. But a polite, Donna Reed culture of never challenging anybody's biases is not healthy for education in general and on a forum that ostensibly exists for that purpose it's distressing.

(Would you believe I forgot to order this until just today?? ) I was somewhat disappointed at Christmas. My sister-in-law got me the old edition, which I'm sure is just as good. I just wanted the newest edition. Not her fault, though. Dh didn't relay all the pertinent information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I thought you were moving to Texas, Slache. Did that change? Or am I making stuff up again? Only if Matt's company does. IND is our end destination. I plan on being here at that time. ;) Bloomington is a nice size town in that area. I'm in the very southern part about 20 miles from the Ohio river. We can plan a get together/play date in a few years. :D Definitely. :) Edited January 6, 2016 by Slache 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
