The Week, The Shriek
Last week started off just fine. Mrs. L and I went on
a "date", out for dinner and a concert by ourselves.
As much as we love Master L, his presence does make
having a conversation difficult. He has to interject any
time there's more than a one-second gap in the discussion.
No "enjoying the space" for our boy.
We saw Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies. As the show
progressed, Mrs. L said, "These two are married,
right?", meaning Jez Lowe and the violinist,
Kate Bramley. I said, "Yes....but how did you
know that?", and she said, "You can just tell."
Women. Signals. Everything MEANS something!
We men stand no chance whatsoever!!! LOL!
Actually, the chances that night were VERY good,
but that's a whole other story.....
Moving on.....
We took Master L to a homeschooling class to check it
out, since we're completely frustrated with the public
school he is in right now. It was a "creative writing"
class and it was pretty cool. Then we went to the
park with all the homeschoolers. Master L had a
good time and wants to do homeschooling, but
we're not sure yet.
Stuff like this helps push us, though....more actual
homework from his Useless Teacher:
"Directions: Write <, >, or = in each box to complete
the problems.
[skipping down to problem 4 ]
4. 50% [_] 6"
I kid you not - there was no OTHER information for the
problem!! Is it ME?!?! Can that problem possibly
make ANY sense as written??? By "50%", did she
think she meant the number ".5" ?? Because....it's
NOT the same thing!!!!
ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Our tax dollars, on break.

oh, man, i'm sorry, but that problem is even better than the pizza one. and i'm sure, in her key, that the teacher has the "correct" answer, and whatever master l puts wil be WRONG WrOnG, wRon!G!
again, i reiterate, i love our school. knock on wood.
good luck with the homeschooling. i wouldn't mind it with the daughter, but i's rather stick sewing pins under my fingernails each morning than homeschool the son.
