yesterday was busy
we were at an LEA orgnaised home ed get together in the monring where several of us mobbed a "potential home educator" who was going to see out the rest of this school year but considering not send her son to secondary school. I suspect he didn’t go to school this morning…. or ever again…..I’m not sure that one of the LEA people didn’t help her write the deregistration letter!
In the afternoon we were busy but I’ve no idea what we actually did, then it was violin lesson and Aprilia progressed to putting fingers down to change notes. Twas a simple thing for her when shown by a teacher, she just wouldn’t beleive me wehn I showed her and declared it too hard! So she’s all fired up on that again now.
Today I have mainly sneezed and coughed whilst doing housework at half speed (nowt new on that then) We did maths and English (sorry, numeracy and literacy) via various games and she played on Brain Assist on DS so I declared her educated. Education was furthered by her watching The Hairy Bikers on DVD after tea although she was nearly "over educated" on that, thankfully I distracted her whilst the talked in a rather earthy manner about the dish they were served in Vietnam (the genitals of some beast or other….)
Now I’m wondering about planning a different meeting for Rainbows tomorrow, one that doesn’t involve me talking much if at all at any point, and preferably one taht requires me to sit and smile benignly from the corner of the room whilst the little darlings get on with something deeply profound and educational at the other end of the room. Weeks like this I REALLY wish I had another Guider to help me out!
