4:16 am
Atalante
how's Merp, Eva?
4:17 am
Eva
very well thank you. Except that he's taken to lurking in the bathroom at night and biting my feet when I'm peeing. Makes it rather hard to get back to sleep. How are your animal companions?
4:18 am
Eva
tell me their names again?
4:18 am

kinky cat!
4:18 am
Atalante
looool that's inventive!
4:18 am

Hobbit and Silverclaw :)
4:18 am
Eva
yes indeed. Foot fetishist
4:18 am
Atalante
they are fine:) snoring away!
4:18 am
Eva
That's right! Silverclaw is such a stunner
4:19 am
Atalante
she really is. I have a beauty queen cat somehow!
4:21 am
Atalante
I almost wish I hadn't got her spayed, any kittens would be so beautiful. But she's so small. Her mum had a hard time with her litter, and Sily would be the same
4:23 am
warthog
are there any j words?
4:23 am
Eva
I know. I feel the same way about Merp. Merp kittens would have been wonderful, but I just can't bring more kittens into the world. The local gway garden store always has one or two cats from the animal shelter, disaplyed in the store. They have a great adoption rate. The one this week, a wonderful silver tabby, nearly broke my heart. He was talking to me, reaching his paws through the cage and trying to pull me into it. If I had the space and money I'd adopt every stray I came across but I don't.
4:23 am
warthog
thanks eva
4:24 am
Atalante
me too! I'd happily be a mad cat lady. And dog lady.
4:24 am
Atalante
But it really wouldn't have been fair on Silverclaw to make her have a litter. She's more important than any potential pretty kittens
4:24 am
Eva
and turtles, rabbits, raccoons, owls, anything abandoned or injured.
4:25 am
Atalante
except maybe raccoons. They have claws
4:25 am

my wife is just as bad,ive managed to halt her at 3 cats

I MUST trim Sily's claws today
4:26 am

monkey,abracadabra and serius black
4:26 am
Atalante
such good names
4:26 am
Atalante
it's funny, there must be a correlation between word love and animal love
4:26 am
Atalante
I don't think there a single babbler that doesn'tlove animals
4:27 am
crosshair
abby is hers and serius is mine;
4:27 am
Eva
When I lived in the city I used to dream of opening a shelter and involving kids from the inner city who aren't able to have pets of their own, and who so desperately need to create relational bonds with someone. The idea was that they would get to "adopt" one of the foundlings, come after school and on weekends to take care of that animal, and to prepare it for a good home. Then, as they got more experienced, they would train new kids to be caretakers.
4:27 am
crosshair
and monkey owns everyone
4:27 am
Atalante
what a wonderful idea!
4:28 am
Atalante
Hobbit is definitely mine. Sily's just about more mine than husband's. But only just
4:28 am
crosshair
eva,they have a similar program up here for problem kis in the juvinile detention system,they take suitable shelter pets and train them as servive animals
4:28 am
crosshair
kids even
4:28 am

service animals
4:29 am
Eva
Thats wonderful cross. I know they do the same thing in many prisons.
4:29 am
lynxxx
Along the same lines, the greyhound adoption agency I got Stew from also uses as their interim fosters a country prison
4:31 am
Eva
Merp uses the two of us for very different things. I am definitely "mommy"-the source of food, comfort, safety. My partner is alpha cat, the source of excitement, male rough play. Merp likes i tbest when he can have both of us at the same time.
4:31 am
crosshair
years ago my wife had a pom that was a service dog for retirement homes,she used to go to the three local homes twice a week with er dog,she would shampoo queenie and put bows in her hair and visit the seniors
4:32 am
Atalante
when Hobbit's calmed down a bit more - in a year or two - I want to do the same with her. Minus the ribbons.
4:32 am
crosshair
hobbits a rabbit?
4:32 am
lynxxx
A friend of mine was going to do that with her st. poodle. Quite an extensive selection and then preparation required here
4:33 am
Eva
Yes, Hobbit doesn't look like the ribbon type.
4:33 am
Atalante
no! LOL. But go round retirement homes as a petting dog
4:33 am
Atalante
yep, I'd have to get her officially trained
4:34 am
Eva
Thinking of Merp as a service animal has me smiling. Of service to himself, for sure, like all cats.
4:34 am

service cats. now there's an oxymoron
4:34 am
lynxxx
How old is Merp now Eva?
4:34 am
Atalante
oxymoron? is that the word I want?
4:35 am
crosshair
we are currently training serius black to a halter and a leash;))
4:35 am
Eva
He does, however, respond to emotional distress. If you are crying he will come and sit on your chest. Merp is somewhere between 15 and 16, but looks and acts much younger.
4:35 am
Atalante
Sily has a halter and lead too :)
4:36 am
Atalante
TY! I always get confused with words like that
4:36 am
crosshair
hehe,wife seems to think he has the temperment and would love to get kitty out for walkies
4:36 am
Eva
Merp, who is not allowed to ever go out because of predators close by, has sometimes gone out on a leash and halter. He loves it. Being the human on the other end of the least is not so enjoyable though, unless you enjoy being dragged through undergrowth
4:37 am

And off cliff edges, and spending hours sniffing invisible things, and of course staying out forever. Plus, it does lead to rising expectations, and seems to make it more frustrating for him to be house bound after, so I've stopped doing it.
4:38 am
crosshair
with the dutch style topping;)))
4:38 am
Atalante
that's why I don't take Sily out much - the rising expectations thing
4:38 am
Eva
He does have two porches he can go out on, but it doesn't satsify that need to roam free.
4:39 am
crosshair
mmm ,never thought of that..one outing and he may become a pain about it
4:39 am
Eva
think I'll try to get a bit more sleep. See you all later.
4:40 am

I usually take Sily out in the rain so she dashes back inside and decides she hates the outside

I had a friend once who who worked for Sate government health planning new hospitals...the things he told me. You wouldn't go into one!
5:14 am
Atalante
it's when they start sending people home because it's safer for them to recuperate at home ...
5:17 am
o-o
the ia 6 reminded me of a word that literally means: physician producing in the context of treatment-related complications
5:17 am
lynxxx
Good idea really! After one hospital stay I had a nurse come each day to change dressings etc. It was great, much better than being in hospital. Had chemo done at home too - again much better
5:17 am

yep, that's the nice ia6:)

nope, no return visit now. she's obviously still a bit stiff and limpy though, so she's not getting proper walks till the weekend

hi, Ata, how is Hobbit?
11:19 am
Atalante
stiff and bruised, but desperately wanting a walk!
11:20 am
Wolvie
what does the 9 start with please?
11:20 am
jmcnrick
it is my basic youthfulness that led me to ped+ia6
11:20 am
Wolvie
ty BR - and hello
11:21 am
rbud
well, sounds like she's doing fine, good to hear.
11:21 am
o-o
Hello, Wolvie
11:21 am
jmcnrick
why is hobbit stiff and bruised -- you been beating her?
11:22 am
Atalante

11:22 am
o-o
Hello to all
11:22 am
Atalante
she fell down a 5m ladder and went splat
11:22 am
Wolvie
that was really something that hobbit wasn't hurt by that fall - amazing
11:22 am
Wolvie
she's been dragging hobbit thru bogs
11:22 am
jmcnrick
poor hobbit!
11:22 am

Hello, BabbleRabble.
11:23 am

splat is never good for animals or people
11:23 am
jmcnrick
i know i dont need to tell you to keep an eye on her for a few days anyway
11:24 am
o-o
ja to you too, Gail
11:24 am
rbud
couldn't help but wonder - why was she at the top of the ladder? did you have her changing light bulbs? ;)
11:24 am
Gail
Ohdarn. Lost control of my fingers again.
11:24 am
jmcnrick
hi gail
11:24 am
jmcnrick
good question rbud -- i was afraid to ask
11:24 am
Wolvie
no comment - not touching that one
11:24 am
Wolvie
(gail's post - not hobbit, lol)
11:24 am
Gail
I am happy today. Got my foot out of a cast after 2 months and into a boot.
11:25 am
jmcnrick
whoo hoo gail!
11:25 am
Wolvie

11:25 am

11:25 am
Haz1558
Well done, Gail! Was it itchy?
11:25 am
Gail
No, not really.
11:25 am
rbud
ahhh! now I understand.
11:25 am
jmcnrick
you have ladders to the beach? *trying to imagine a ladder into the sky from the beach*
11:26 am
dcseain
oh, wonderful, gail
11:26 am
Atalante
wait a sec, I'll put a pic in my icon
11:26 am
dcseain
sometimes beaches are up a hill or embankment
11:26 am
dcseain
i love the smell of jasmine rice cooking. so rich and nutty.
11:27 am

Hobbit emulated Sir Edmund Hillary, "Because it was there."
11:27 am
jmcnrick
does ladder mean something in brit than it means in american?
11:28 am
Atalante
there. it's actually steeper than that, the profile squished it a lot
11:28 am
jmcnrick
omg it's a ladder to the beach!
11:28 am
Atalante
told you!
11:28 am
rbud
oh, gosh, that's quite the ladder!
11:28 am
dcseain
that's as rocky as in Maine
11:29 am
jmcnrick
lol i am sorry ata i have never seen such a thing!
11:29 am
jmcnrick
poor hobbit!
11:29 am
Wolvie
i was just thinking of a bit of coast line near salem mass
11:29 am
Atalante
its actually about 80 degrees slope
11:29 am
Atalante
its not very common :)
11:29 am
jmcnrick
isn't there any other way to the beach?
11:29 am
Haz1558
We Brits are hardy. No point in going to the beach if you can't get down a ladder.
11:29 am
Atalante
not that bit of beach no
11:29 am
Haz1558
No point in things being easy.
11:30 am
jmcnrick
hardy is an understatement -- no little kids allowed on that bit a beach!
11:30 am
Haz1558
Sure, you only end up having the breath knocked out of you by the wind.
11:31 am
Atalante
you can see why I'm still amazed she walked away with no ills
11:31 am
Atalante
and I had to carry her back up that ladder!
11:31 am
jmcnrick
how did the poor thing get back up the ladder
11:32 am
Haz1558
Such a pity there wasn't a camera crew around.
11:32 am
jmcnrick
i showed it to my son and he said "that's an awesome beach!"
11:33 am
Atalante
that cliff, by the way, is part of the White Cliffs of Dover
11:33 am
Atalante
I carried the little monster!

Pat Robertson just announced that you shouldn't buy candy at this time of year because witches pray over it and put demons in your body if you eat it
2:40 pm
CadFan
Well - that explains a lot about Mr. Robertson
2:41 pm
Atalante
who is Pat Robertson?
2:41 pm
jmcnrick
at least he is safe from demons (at least those demons)
2:41 pm
periwinkle
aha, I am in the grid again :-)
2:41 pm
Michnick
And what do the leprachauns do in March to the candy?
2:42 pm
jmcnrick
Pat Robertson is what is known as a "television evangelist" and is notorious for forbidding interracial dating at his college
2:42 pm
lynxxx
hi Cadfan & Mich
2:42 pm
CadFan
Please - don't you know Leprechauns are merely demons in disguise??
2:42 pm
jmcnrick
what those cute little green things are evil?!?!?
2:43 pm
CadFan
Yes - and so are extramarital affairs.. for everyone BUT Pat Robertson.
2:43 pm
jmcnrick
and stating that 9/11 was caused by the gays
2:43 pm
Michnick
Ahh, lovely. Hi everyone!! I got all dressed in orange & black the other day and we don't even HAVE halloween here.
2:44 pm
jmcnrick
was it a political statement mich?
2:44 pm
lynxxx
really, the things that are allowed on american tv!
2:44 pm
Michnick
Are there people that actually pay attention to that guy? No political statement, just first day cool enough to wear my orange sweater!
2:44 pm
jmcnrick
i would be surprised if you did mich since it is the eve of all saints day that the spirits run around since they can't go out the next day
2:44 pm
CadFan
My sentiments exactly Lynxxx Pat Robertson is indeed a thing
2:44 pm
dcseain
Pat Robertson is wack
2:45 pm
CadFan
I believe I have also heard him referred to as a "tool"
2:45 pm
Michnick
I never knew that. (About the spirits not being allowed out the next day)
2:45 pm
jmcnrick
but amusing to listen to
2:45 pm
jmcnrick
that is why they have to party hardy on halloween
2:46 pm
Michnick
What is a tool in this context? (Of course I am old enough to remember gay meaing happy and Bad meaning BAD)
2:46 pm
jmcnrick
hmm a tool is a polite term for a**h***
2:47 pm
Michnick
Got it, sounds like it fits.
2:47 pm
CadFan
"A tool is usually someone who is unwelcome but no one has the balls to tell them to get lost. A tool is alwasys making comments that are out-of-place, out-of-line or just plain stupid."
2:48 pm

perfect def Cadfan

5:27 pm
herinfernallady
Ok
5:27 pm
crosshair
if you go to the site you can read up on it herin
5:28 pm
herinfernallady
O My pc is a little bit hungry with stuff
5:29 pm
herinfernallady
ANd I have no idea why now I have to click enter and then if i go to another page this one doesn't load. It never did that
5:30 pm
crosshair
mm strange,just google folding at home client and read up on it.trust me i only bring up safe sites in the chog
5:30 pm
JBV
hi jai - the 9 looks like a medication to increase urine production, with an extra vowel
5:31 pm
JBV
sorry, a different vowel, i meant
5:32 pm
herinfernallady
HI JBV and Jai
5:32 pm
JBV
hi herin and crossy
5:33 pm
crosshair
anyways,ive been on my soapbox holding forth long enough,ill hand the floor over now;)
5:33 pm

sorry JBV, I still am not getting it, but I thank you for helping!!!!
5:34 pm
herinfernallady
Well I don't mind Crossei
5:34 pm
JBV
ok, i'll jump in - just got back from a very inspiring seminar with Alan November - does anyone know him? he is on a quest to drag the education establishment into the 21st century with technology -
5:35 pm
herinfernallady
JBV we have computer labs at tafe that is meant ot be new and shiney and all that and they rarely work
5:36 pm
JBV
I am certainly not in the forefront of anything, but I am more than a little dismayed at how reluctant many of my colleagues are to even consider what's out there
5:36 pm
jaianniah
Can anyone helpme with the 9?
5:37 pm
JBV
i'll try again, jai - start with anne frank's ***ry, then add someone who goes against religious doctrine, a h*******
5:37 pm
herinfernallady
I don't have it sorry
5:37 pm
jaianniah
Thanks, JBV!!!! I got it!!!
5:38 pm
JBV
this guy was smart, funny, but essentially revolutionary if you think that it's revolutionary to have schools in 2009 not look like they did in 1950 or 1850 for that matter
5:38 pm
jaianniah
It was that first vowel...
5:40 pm
herinfernallady
I think that the teachers should be paid too.
5:40 pm
Joanne123
not getting it so first letter please
5:40 pm
JBV
paid for what, herin?
5:41 pm
JBV
joanne, those clues were for the di 9
5:41 pm
herinfernallady
Teach
5:41 pm
JBV
um, I think most teachers are paid to teach, herin, not sure what you mean
5:42 pm
herinfernallady
Ok let me rephrase that. I feel its disgraceful that the teachers are paid stuff all
5:42 pm
JBV
ok, wait, that looks exactly opposite what you said before - what is your vision, herin
5:44 pm
herinfernallady
I feel that Teachers and more so helpers in schools should be paid to care and teach. You think about it. You have someone that is a teacher a carer a listener and they are not paid enough. Nor do some parents have the guts to say yes my kid is a turd and yes they deserve teh detention
5:44 pm
Boobear
clue for pr 8 pls
5:44 pm
JBV
i'm processing that herin ........
5:45 pm
herinfernallady
I am very fortunate to go to a Uni that has computers and teachers taht care and send you to counsellors if you need help.
5:45 pm
JBV
teachers should care and listen and are not paid enough - I agree
5:46 pm
Joanne123
how many words today please
5:46 pm
herinfernallady
Sorryu Bo I don't ahve it. Joanne 181 sorry
5:47 pm
jacq
pr8, it is an extension of the 5 letter word in the grid that an accountant does, or what the tax man does
5:48 pm
jacq
the pr is a ***fix
5:48 pm
herinfernallady
I had some wonderful teachers in school and some idiot parents that thought the sun shone out of their kids butt even if the kids got the whole class a detention it was never their kids fault
5:49 pm
JBV
herin do you remember who is our babbler from Perth?
5:49 pm
JBV
yep,we know those parents, too
5:50 pm
herinfernallady
Um Yes Anike? or something similar
5:50 pm
herinfernallady
Um there is Lore too
5:50 pm
herinfernallady
Lore is not her name but that is what i remember her as
5:51 pm
herinfernallady
Why/
5:54 pm
Boobear
not getting the pr 8 at all
5:54 pm
herinfernallady
Eh why?
5:54 pm
JBV
well from the workshop we got ideas about putting classes together for projects and I work in Perth Amboy so I thought it would be interesting to see if we could hook up with a teacher in Perth Australia
5:55 pm
JBV
you know, what we used to call "pen pals" but now they do everything online, Skype, etc.
5:56 pm
momof5
pr* + ***** (what the I.R.S.) does to investigate your taxes
5:57 pm
herinfernallady
Oh cool. I don't know if Anika is a teacher. Lore is in health care
6:00 pm
JBV
he showed us a project where a teacher in England and one in Massachusetts had their kids set up a virtual courtroom and took roles of prosecutor and defendant in the Battle of Lexington (known here as the Lexington Massacre, and of course by a different name entirely in UK)
6:00 pm
herinfernallady
Oh wow that is cool
6:01 pm
JBV
it was about learning about historical perspective and how each of their textbooks were so different in the way they presented it
6:02 pm
herinfernallady
I do love how technowledgy works
6:02 pm
herinfernallady
sorry I need to spell
6:02 pm
JBV
I think anyone with an ounce of creativity and imagination would be so eager to try out these ideas in the classroom, but it really is not part of the current thinking and teachers would have to be first, convinced, and then trained - the kids already know how to do these things
6:03 pm
JBV
nice new word, herin
6:03 pm
herinfernallady
sorry about my really poor spelling
6:03 pm
JBV
i like it - techknowledgy
6:03 pm
JBV
i might borrow it
6:04 pm
herinfernallady
O please dont that is a lot embarising
6:04 pm
herinfernallady
Ok that is it I give up with my typing
6:04 pm
JBV
that one I won't borrow :)
6:06 pm
herinfernallady
rolls eyes sorry about those typos

6:56 pm
jmcnrick
in fact weather generally moves west to east with limited exceptions
6:56 pm
jacq
if i run the systray version it seems to be automatically loaded but needs to be started
6:56 pm
jmcnrick
hmm really don't know jac
6:57 pm
jmcnrick
"how annoying is he hursh?"

6:59 pm

there is a very famous pizzeria here, but they don't deliver (they don't have to!). their specialty is a white pizza with clams and garlic, and we have wanted to try it but the times we have called they have been all out of the clams. so i was telling my husband i wanted to try it tonight, and he said he didn't want to go out to pick it up.
6:59 pm
hego
Hi Welki. Strange things are happening.
6:59 pm
jmcnrick
hi welki!
6:59 pm
kje
mmmm- sounds wonderful hursh
6:59 pm
welki
how so, hego?
7:00 pm
hego
Just read down.
7:00 pm
hurshy
so i told him, this is where you call them and when they say they have no clams you seem like the nice guy who was willing to go. he said that seemed disingenuous, and risky, because he really wouldn't go get it.
7:00 pm
hurshy
and i said, ok, so if they DO have the clams, just lie to me and say they didn't. or tell me you called and they were out of clams without even calling.
7:01 pm
hurshy
but no, he is unwilling to create for me a fiction in which he is a nice guy if it means violating his precious honesty.
7:01 pm

Bugsaw
Thanks for the clarification kje, but your clues should help Jilli if she is still stuck!!
7:57 pm
kje
the separation of two adjacent vowels, dividing one syllable into two.
2. a sign (¨) placed over the second of two adjacent vowels to indicate separate pronunciation, as in one spelling of the older forms naïve and coöperate: no longer widely used in English.
3. Prosody. the division made in a line or verse by coincidence of the end of a foot and the end of a word.
7:57 pm

today I was in a 9th grade class again! but in a "junior high" and this was an English classroom. VERY different feeling than the 9th grade high school French class.

I am trying to decide if it's the contrast between urban-rural, or the shift from small fish-to big fish...
8:01 pm
stidmama
I rather enjoyed it feather. EXCEPT... this teacher was comfortable with more physicality between students than I might be (though she knew the students and I don't)
8:01 pm
lbdawger
probably a bit of both, stid
8:01 pm
Bugsaw
How so stid. I am not following your line of thot

Well in some ways these 9th graders, being not yet in high school hadn't fully adopted the attitude of those older teens (perhaps because they do not need to establish their place in the pecking order?)
8:02 pm
Bugsaw
I am always shocked by how low the standards have become. I work in Middle Schools and how the kids behave depends on the teacher
8:02 pm
lbdawger
9th grade jr high, top dog...9th grade high school bottom of the food chain
8:03 pm
stidmama
And in some ways they seemed so much more mature, perhaps because they were older, and therefore role models for the younger students.
8:03 pm
Bugsaw
Exactly lb. That is why I promote Middle Schools.
8:03 pm
featherbee
9th grade wasn't bad for me, it was freshman year of high school. but the thought of middle school.....shudder. i hated going through it, and don't think i could ever teach it. of course, my target age group is very far removed from it too!
8:03 pm
stidmama
I viewed it as this teacher just having a higher tolerance for movement and such than teachers I have worked with in the past.
8:03 pm
kje
i need it too
8:03 pm
Bugsaw
What age group woulld you like to teach stid.
8:04 pm

I didn't like middle or high school as a child, but as a parent, seeing what the children are going through I realize that I have the interest and maturity to help smooth what can be very rough years.
8:04 pm
jmcnrick
a french word uses the po6 before it
8:04 pm

i might get a different view as you have stid when daniel and nick get to that age.

i liked jr. high. i don't like middle school...just the way most are set up. the kids are still wanting to be taught and are so impressionable.
8:06 pm
jmcnrick
my knidergarden teacher was a rhymes with witch
8:06 pm
featherbee
aww, jmc, that's too bad
8:06 pm
stidmama
So much depends on the administrators, and on the overall school and community cultures, I think.
8:06 pm
stidmama
oooh jmc! that is sad. I liked both of my kindergarden teachers.
8:06 pm
jillibus
My granddaughter is teaching middle school, quite happily, but it's a special school with an emphasis on the arts
8:06 pm
jmcnrick
everyone thought she was loved by all but most of the kids we4 afraid of her
8:06 pm
kalea
my kids were great in middle school, but i found chaperoning was tougher than in high school
8:07 pm
kje
shoot, can't see that po8
8:07 pm
jmcnrick
but she promoted an image of being loved that the parents (other than my mother) bought into
8:07 pm
stidmama
I have steadfastly refused to chaperone... though I love being in the classrooms and can now handle being around them in less structured situations. LOL
8:08 pm
jmcnrick
my mother didn't like her when she found out she had allowed an adulterous liaison at her house
8:08 pm
Bugsaw
I was tortured in middle school so I like being able to be there for kids who struggle and are not popular, even tho they are wonderful people. I want school to be a better place for them than it was for me. Maturity really helps because they usually like grandmothers.
8:08 pm
featherbee
wow, how does one do that, yet scare the kids? trying to imagine what she was like.
8:08 pm
kalea
i chaperoned all dances, field trips, and parties

d-i-l is teaching high school and one of her classes has almost 50 kids in it, thanks to gov't cuts to education (so stupid).
8:08 pm
jmcnrick
oh she would dress up and the kids we4 afraid not to pretend to like it
8:09 pm
stidmama
yes, I will be as old as many of their grandmothers by the time I have taught for a few years (now I am slightly older than most of the middle school parents)
8:09 pm
kalea
yikes, jilli......how does one teach well in that situation?
8:09 pm
featherbee
i had a whopping 10 kids yesterday! 6 were out sick. (this is one of my smallest classes in 13 years.)
8:09 pm

I never went to junior high -- came from England to NY and went straight into "5th term" HS at age 13. That was 3rd year High.
8:10 pm
stidmama
oh feather, that is not good. hope things (and children) get better soon!
8:10 pm
featherbee
only had 3 out today. hoping this is the upswing, and not the lull in the storm.

8:11 pm
jillibus
What's the matter with middle school and junior high?
8:11 pm
kalea
gosh jilli.......that must have been hard socially
8:12 pm
Bugsaw
Middle school is the same as Juniour High here. Usually grades 7 - 9. It is good because some grade 7s are already 6' tall and feel totally left out in elementary school but by grade 9 almost all the kids have had their growth spurt so they all look the same and feel safer in high school.
8:12 pm
jillibus
Not at all, kalea! I'm still pals with some of our gang.
8:12 pm
stidmama
okay, I need to be ready to take stidkid to school -- concert night tonight.

8:13 pm

thanks bugs. I am scared that I don't really know enough to do this for other people's kids on my own. But I am hopeful that by summer 2011, after three separate student teaching assignments I will be ready.
