WEEK 2 BEGINS

Today was Labor day and so I chose to labor away. It was great! No holiday to intrrupt my teaching and I turned the holiday into itself a lesson. Quite nice indeed. I also told him about American Children having to work the factories in the 1900's and the reason behind child labor laws. I also explained to him that our public schools are set up the way they are because of those factories: to teach children to live, eat, poop, sleep, and breath by the bell. Also the children must learn to tolerate strict confined spaces and accept little room to play around and explore their childhood desires; industry can not tolerate slow paced relaxed people. Thi sis true. The whole reason behind our system was creatd shortly after Henry Ford INTRODUCED THE ASSEMBLY LINE. The time line coincidence is eeri too.
Anyway, the home school schedualing has become easier and his abilities are really shinning through. There are no bells and no timers. i will gear his teachings around his passions, theatre, movies, horror and being in control. I will keep reminding myself to focus on his positive behaviors and his accomplishments no matter how small. Today he began to really grasp the whole regrouping thing in math and I am feeling comfortable with his ability in math to the point I may move on to the next lesson next week. He just needs a relaxed enviornment. I wish the school had caught on but alas this is an institution that believes children should be seen and not heard unless it is to brown nose the teacher. And any odd child is a defective child not to be hassled with. Those odd and weirdierd children will be pushed into bad egg classrooms we like to call Emotionally disturbed classrooms. Or,more nicely, E.D. classrooms. Yuck!
Okay, I need to stop digressing. I hope to fit in a field trip next week. We shall wait and see. I will post the promised e-mails or at lest a paraphrased version of them in the next week as well. I want the public to know just what kind of vindictive hateful witches run our schools and teach our children.
