So I was driving along the freeway (I know, I know, there are no freeways in New Jersey) with Christopher in the back seat, and we were chatting about his two 4s on the TONYSS, and how good he was getting at math, and how great the whole year went ... when he said, "The only thing I'm bad in is science. I'm terrible in science."

"You're not terrible in science," I said. "You're good in science."

Silence from the back seat.

"Why do you think you're terrible in science?"

"I got a 60 on my last test."


update

  • why do I find this stuff out in the last week of school?

  • I am not going to be homeschooling science. No matter what.

Carolyn,

I have been monitoring the NYC Hold site. There is a very interesting letter to the District of Columbia school board. They have just picked Everyday Math as their curriculum. Karen Budd-Jones has written a letter with a chart which shows that excellent results that schools are having with Saxon math. Check it out.
