The same sister-in-law that I last posted about just wrote on Facebook that the same child was sent home with math homework today where the teacher had said, "I know you all don't know how to do half of the problems on this sheet, but just do what you can and I'll grade you on 'completion'". No way for them to learn the unknown skills; they're just supposed to fill in the worksheet so they can get credit. Why didn't the teacher just cut the worksheet in half then?
Luckily, my brother is very smart and used to work as an electrical engineer before going back to school to be a physician. He taught his son how to do the problems. But what about the rest of the students in my nephew's class? Who is filling in the gaps in their math knowledge?

He is the source of light and love for everyone in the universe.
A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.

Using "concrete poetry" to manipulate people
Today I came across a term introduced in my 1970s dictionary that I think might help explain some of the political and societal polarization...
Come unto Christ
He is the source of light and love for everyone in the universe.
About Me
- C T
- I research regional cuisine differences and juxtapose them with medical research and epidemiology. Sometimes, I end up with new hypotheses as a result, which I revisit to modify or refine from time to time. Molybdenum glycinate's efficacy for treatment of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and migraines is my hypothesis that has the most evidence (real-life) for it.
