The awesome privilege of homeschooling a grandson dropped into my lap Tuesday afternoon.
Nena wanted to go to H.E.B. for "Lunchables" and sliced apples, cheese and pretzels snack packs. I put some orange juice and chocolate milk in the shopping cart.
Up half the night, I watched videos of Sir Ken Robinson's TED series lectures on education, while getting some last minute curriculum together for the first day of "Grandpa's Private Homeschool."
Robinson claims that "every day kids go to school, they become less intelligent."
I located some science videos on makemegenius.com; Why do we sneeze? How are rainbows made? Why does the moon seem to shine? What makes sea water salty? What causes hiccups? Ok. That's enough science for one day for a six year old.
The principal didn't respond to my email of disenrollment to BISD, so I would need to send a certified letter with signature confirmation. Done. The departing student should not be counted absent or considered truant. He's simply transferred to what the State of Texas considers a private school.
Jack aced a written review of the first day's topics, then later, on his ride home, he covered the material with Grandma.
Amazon.com says my math, spelling and grammar workbooks will be here Tuesday.
