Quote of the Week
Interesting Reading & Viewing
- Family Math Night!?!?! Even Mr. Oliver didn’t think of that, and he loves math!
- I’m not sure about ‘crisis’ but this article brings together Jessica Lahey (I’ve sent you her work before) and Julie Lythcott-Haims who wrote How to Raise an Adult. While we certainly don’t face some of the challenges they identify, some of what they wrote was interesting as I look at course selections with my son for grade 10. I have trouble seeing the point where he should have guidance rather than self-determining on important decisions.
