Here...Britt, this post brought back sweet memories. Here are a couple more. I remember when, at age 3, you drew faces expressing all of the primary emotions & explained them to me. And then there was the first sign that you would be a creative entrepreneur, when at age 5, you sold some of the multitude of your baby gerbils to finance your Barbie doll's wardrobe. :-) I know that The children you work with as a "reading partner" will have fun and learn a lot from you.<br /> MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15585808.post-25525846692264830122010-10-28T06:46:18.592-07:002010-10-28T06:46:18.592-07:00Great post!

He was way behind in all of his classes; the school put a lot of pressure on me to work with him to 'just get the homework done.' I'm glad I pushed back and insisted that we spend our time together reading poetry and plays - something that clearly spoke to him when nothing else was. Three years later he got into a great arts high school, and now he's successfully enrolled in a great college. It doesn't necessarily mean more arts education, but focus-on-tests-and-homework-worksheets-only is clearly taking the umph out of learning for a lot of people.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482459356957736284noreply@blogger.com
