Halls cough drops lead to harder drugs. Teacher ought to move to a school where there is real drug traffic. Where 9 year olds are recruited by gangs. What a nut. Raising kids to homeschool the next generation?16 Dec 2008 04:58 PM Good question. You have plenty of time. And a lot will depend on where your children are living, who they marry, what their own children are like, and what educational resources exist for them when the time comes. Dating and the Single Parent: When to Introduce the Kids16 Dec 2008 04:39 PM This is great advice. Thanks. What to Do When You Can't Afford Preschool11 Dec 2008 06:58 PM I have seen the pressure Mary Ann speaks of being put on the parents. The perception is that if your child cannot do all the things they are "supposed" to, that the parents have failed, or that the child is "behind" or needs help. Actually, they just need a bit of time. But I have also seen "the gift of time" - that is holding back the boy with the summer birthday - go amok. It then becomes a type of pushing - and that held back child is expected to be bigger, smarter, faster. In fact, within that year he may have hit a few developmental milestones, and be long PAST ready for Kindergarten - and BORED STIFF.

Runners vs. Drivers-Sharing the Road with Lunatics on Four Wheels05 Dec 2008 03:50 AM I run on a roadside - sidewalks are here and there along the path. During the day, if I run on the sidewalk I have to get off to go around dog walkers and children. The roadside where I am is wide, and so we are courteous with walkers and bikers and they are courteous as well. At night, it is easier to see the roadside than the sidewalk, where I could trip, and where I have fallen before. We carefully plan runs here - it is very dark at night and a couple was killed. Not surprised about NJ - that's the general level of rage on the road there, daily. My son used to run there, still does sometimes. You really have to plan it out, but there are all sorts of nuts. |
