Education & Reference - 19 January 2007

We have just moved abroad and find that all the children in both my childrens classes are much behind to what my children learnt in the country we were in. The school will not move them up a year as they say that my children will not be able to mix with the older kids but they are bored in the class they are in and they do not give advanced work to my children.

There are lots of after school activities in our area that we would take the children to so they can meet other children.

"Spare the rod, and spoil the child"

Does this mean

A) Do NOT spank/discipline children, just indulge them

OR

B) If you DON'T spank/discipline children, you will spoil them

It could mean either and I have heard it used both ways...what was the original intent of the quote and is it from the Bible?

Not all students finish their tests at the same time. Some finish earlier than others. I'm looking for more ideas that I can use for those students who finish early so they don't disturb the rest of the class that is still working. I teach high school mathematics. Sometimes I have extra credit worksheets that they can do or I have a library of books that I let them borrow and read. What are some other ideas that will keep them quiet and occupied while the rest of the class finishes their tests?

Hi. My husband and I are interested in delivering an alternative
education to our future children and would like to try homeschooling
them.

We would like to do "group" homeschooling with other like minded parents 1-3 times each week is this possible?

Do we have to follow a specific curriculum or just make sure that the end results (grades) of each school semester/year are satisfactory and, how are kids independantly graded/marked - I mean, what is stopping parents from giving their kids all a's?

What do you think about this- start training kids on how to answer SAT type questions at a very young age (grade 4?) so by the time they need to take the test they are masters?

Do parents get tutors for homeschooled kids or do all of the work themselves?


Thanks
