eh i'm sure the kids will do fine. eventually. as long as they have good teachers!

School isn't really about the knowledge itself, and more about building those important skillsets for the future.
I can't remember much about the novels I studied in highschool, but I know how to do critical analysis, so that's something that sticks. And that's something I'm trying to teach my students too.

Obviously some gets it more than others, but it's always a fulfilling feeling at the end of the year when you see how much progress (most of) the students had made! :D

Most of the students. Lol
But progress is progress I guess !

When my mom was homeschooling us, her top three rules were:

#1 Learn how to read.
#2 Understand what you read.
#3 Understand how to research.

'Cause if we could do that, we could learn/do anything.

My mom used to make these connect the dot exercises when learning Chinese le English letters. Lol

That is pretty much our current English curriculum LOL. But it is sad how many kids can't do these things anymore because they rely on AI...

I just finished teaching summer school English and it was FRUSTRATING how some kids take every opportunity to outsource their thinking

Oh myyy it’s Natsu!!!

Yasssss I am still alive
Doing my biannual drop in to catch up on some items LOL

How's you been?

Lol biannual drop. XD

I’m good, kinda tired? I dunno why, I’ve been yawning all day. Maybe didn’t get enough sleep? All the tea and that one coffee I drank hasn’t helped at all, I feel even sleepier. XD

Ahhh I get that too, some days are just so tiring caffeine somehow only makes it worse
