WHY WHY WHY

[Penny]

WHY did my sweet (know it all) Daughter wait till the NIGHT BEFORE her project was due to get it done. Hello child.. You have known about this for 2 weeks!!!!!!!

She has another one she has to start same class, when this one is done. I told her it WILL be done 2 days before it due.

Because I cannot handle the stress-- I can not find this... How do I word this... MOM!!! the computer is slow... Mom this thing will not print..

ok I think I feel better now.

Well on the one hand, you want to help... but on the other hand, if you help her too much on this she may not learn to do this on her own without procrastinating!

It drove me nuts, and I did not get to farm on face book (lol)

11th grade Honors English is hard.

My Mama always said.


Because..


Thats the official answer to Why?

I heard a professor in college gave that question on a final.

Just wrote WHY? on the chalk board for final exam.

Kids took hours writing all the worlds answers.

1 kid wrote Because. He got the only A.


oh yeah Katy has a project do next week. How much does she have left.. The ABC's of North Carolina. Still looking for a NC X city,county, person or event or >>>>>

Hey Billy,

For Katy's project, here a link to a North Carolina History site, that talks about North Carolina's link and role in the XYZ Affair.

Hope this might work for her.

Mostly because they are still a child...but don't say that within their earshot.

A child's number one objective in life is to play. They may go to school and do all kinds of things to learn to be an adult but they aren't adults yet with any sort of responsibility nearing yours. You want them to be ready now with all the lessons that you have learned late to be learned early...and you wish to teach them to your children...but that doesn't mean that they want to learn them.

They just want to play.

and they should.

All work and no play makes us all cranky.

i agree JohnDB. but a high school student needs to learn the lesson. probably the hardliner here in this respect, but if I found out that hey had a big project due the next day that they knew about for 2 weeks and they just started it (and no other familial or church circumstances prevented this from happening) - they are on their own. they can certainly use the home-resources, if available, and my help if I am not busy watching TV or jude2ing (:)).

how did it go for ya (her), Penny?

this new book, she has a list of 11 things, she has to pick 2 to do..

To bad it not a book report, that is easy..

Some of the choices are

Keep a Diary of one person in the book.. need to show referances to events in the book.

Pick a person make a scrapbook at least 10 pages long.

Your a tour guide and the attraction is the Gastby mansion

Do a news paper pick something in the book to be the lead story. the more pages the more points. You can put events of 1920's in the news paper.

and more...
