One of my Buffalo Feathers socks, made from Buffalo Wool Co.'s Tracks, sneaked its way into the washing machine this week. Hubby found it when transferring everything to the dryer. It has a big ol' hole in the sole! I have leftover yarn, so I am going to try and repair it. I'm ever so sad.
Better news, my kiddo finishes school this week. She already has a reading assignment and a paper to write on it over the summer! Wow. I think she's going to find her AP Human Geography class a bit more of a challenge next year. She rarely had homework this year, but I think that will change, at least for this class.
I kind of find it amusing that this whole Common Core (crap) deal is supposed to more prepare kids for college. Really? Maybe college has changed since I was there, but my professors NEVER accepted late work, nearly every teacher my daughter has now, does. How is that teaching kids to be responsible? I think that it's gotten to the point where it's easier to accept work late than it is to argue with parents that their "special snowflake" didn't do the work on time and therefore didn't pass the class. And teaching kids to add 15 + 5 using a gazallion steps isn't going to help a kid in college!
Why yes, CC really annoys me! As a result I joined the Opt Out Movement, and kept my daughter from taking the PARCC tests this year. I heard way too many negative things about the tests and the way they are scored.
OK, I will step off of my soapbox now. ;) Have a great rest of the week!
