| | | watch and brief, re experiments
Erita
1. per latest assessment, Erita scored perfect scores against kids up to 1 year older than her (erita was born early october), for math and English.
2. Erita did not score perfect in Chinese
3. Erita got accepted by new school emphsiszing creative learning as opposed to traditional teaching, and shall start soonest
4. Erita all smiles, chilling, reading, and very good
5. Erita asked to stop w/ current school after its November 8th sports day, as she got selected to do long jump, in alignment w/ legacy, and wishes to complete side by side w/ team mates - perfect reasoning
6. Erita gave me a big hug when asked about feel re school change, happy, so happy - enuf said
7. Erita, later, said she does not want to be assigned to any easy Chinese material even if new school would let each kid learn at own pace - superior. I simply said do the best she can.
Re all, I do not measure erita against others nearly so much as I compare her to me when i was her age. Erita is doing much better than i when i was her age.
Jack
1. Jack very proud, poo-ed in potty first time, obviously happy that he also had "good news" to report, all smiles
Cheers, j
p.s. we had earlier selected erita's current school as what we wanted, traditional values, kids first, learn vs teach, create vs rote, study vs cram, but then school evolved by popular mass parenting pressure per the other parents push push push
we opt out, per legacy and tradition, and rebelled
interestingly at least one other kid and maybe eventually 4 or more (if accepted) others also opted out from erita's current school to the new school, and all good students
shall report back the next time jack makes progress |
