OT: Who gets the last word?

Hey rem, Joey's math program was invented at the University of Chicago. I don't know what that means, but felt the need to tell you anyway.

Fancy. I would've applied there for school, but didn't want to get laughed at in the admissions office. Lots of uber smart, but snooty folks there.


Never saw the movie Chicago, but have seen Chicago the band in concert.

When it comes to Mountains for your husband to be aroused by, better Cold than Brokeback

So true.

His teacher sent home a sheet about it yesterday. Something about how this program, through research, discovered that kindergarteners can do way more math than everyone thinks they can, so they incorporate math into just about everything they do, even play time, making them count, add, subtract, etc. I wasn't expecting anything beyond counting this year, so that's fine with me. Maybe he'll get a jump start on it and not have to struggle through algebra like I did.

Stay on your kid like a hawk and make him constantly do math. I am terrible at math and have always struggled with it. I wish I would have spent more time with it when I was kid. The strange thing is all I do now is work with numbers ...Mostly data entry stuff though. It's pretty much like balancing a checkbook, but only for the whole state of Michigan. Not too much pressure there

Oh, trust me, I plan on being a royal pain in his ass about every subject, every year. My parents never kept on me like that at all, didn't even check that I did my homework (which I usually didn't because I knew nothing would happen). He also has a karate instructor who rewards and punishes based on how they do in school (he likes pushups). He'll also be doing plenty of reading when he's ready.

My only problem now is what the hell I'm going to do to keep the other one entertained for the next two years while he's at school every day.

Sounds pretty much like my house. I have great parents and I don't blame anyone but myself for me being dumb and not paying attention in math. They just trusted that I did my homework. Not a good idea with a kid that hated math to begin with. I usually would be scrambling and copying my friends homework the next morning. I would do really well in all my other classes but I was always average when it came to math. I mainly got C's and a couple of B's here and there. You will be unpopular with your kids (don't let your husband cut any slack either) but they will thank you later.

So true.

Congrats on 2500

Thanks for the congrats, and thanks for counting. Cause I don't.

Boston are you sure? uke:

 

[MyHatred]

Actually, I don't like either.

Just being a smartass Imagine that

 

[nafnikufesin]

Thanks for the congrats, and thanks for counting. Cause I don't.

Gotta waste more time somehow

 

[DarbysDad]

Thanks for the congrats, and thanks for counting. Cause I don't.

Come on you count

MyHatred, the videos in your sig are always entertaining. I still miss Chunk getting shot Scarface style, though.

 

[MyHatred]

I still have it in the archives.

I'll bust it out sometime down the road

 

[nafnikufesin]

My kids aren't coming out of my sig anytime soon, but I suppose I could stick in a more recent pic. Antonio doesn't fit the AC/DC shirt anymore, and Amanda has been out of onesies for a long time.

 

[MyHatred]

Keep the one with Antonio giving the horns. That one is cool. At least until you can get a pic of Amanda & Antonio both giving the horns.

 

[Seance]

yay... power

Yeah, that one isn't going anywhere

Finally! Good to hear (well, read, technically)
