Right - we're talking about families with 4 or 5 kids in 3 rooms. <BR/><BR/>We live in an older three bedroom house and I have problems giving the girls their separate space as well as spending enough time with each of them to help (and they do need the help).<BR/><BR/>Distractions? Of course there are distractions.<BR/><BR/>This is turning into a separate post. I'll stop now and thanks to both of you.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1137471126268666692006-01-16T20:12:00.000-08:002006-01-16T20:12:00.000-08:00I have about two of those drawers in my house, I k...I have about two of those drawers in my house, I keep dumping things in them but not looking inside. lol!<BR/>Li is downloading that moving right now.

I a...I need to start going through drawers myself. I am a little frightened of Uncle Roger's drawers. I don't know what is in them or how long things have been there. He insists that he knows where everything is until I, "the cleaner" move everything. I never throw anything "important" away. I make it look neater and put it where he can find it. It lasts about a day. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>As far as state testing goes, I'm with you! I find that the only thing it tests is whether a student can take a test. I always feel bad for all of the second language learners and students with learning disabilities who are subjected to this testing as well as all of the students whose home life makes it difficult for them to prepare for these tests let alone be familiar with the stuff on the reading comprehension parts.

Even if the kids have accomodations for their disability we can only read the directions aloud. I know the kids don't get the reading and so we tell them to look back for key words and teach test taking strategies. All a waste of time in the end.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430277295790131857noreply@blogger.com
