day-number 1
nellie went to school yesterday for her first one hour visit. they gave her homework!i think it's unfortunate that schools in nz hand kids homework to do that is not well thought out and requires parents to teach it to their children, without any training as to best practice. it is done [cynically] to keep parents happy. on the other hand nellie thought it was great. a fine balance to walk. she did get bored with it though. schools don't seem to remember that failing at school work in front of some parents is not a good thing for many children, or their parents. well, that's the end of that rave. little bro is actually enrolloing her in a college. looking ahead. it's good that he likes to discuss it as i have lots of school experience being an ex teacher/principal. i just tell him what i think and let him think about it. i reckon nellie will be demanding on cole, her big nearly 6 year old bro. could be quite funny.
