Just thought I'd ask because I'm deciding on which one I rather do and which one is more difficult. But I would like to hear out from other folks on their opinions first. Thanks.

We have been homeschooling all year this year, and the biggest problem is that he has no desire to learn. He has no natural curiosity left, and I don't think that he will learn anything unless he has that inner motivation. How can I help him regain that spark of natural curiosity?
His homeschool program is very structured, in fact it is actually public school done from home on the computer. Should I try unschooling him? He loves to read books, and I was considering just letting him read to his hearts content and wait for him to initiate/dictate his learning.

What are some good questions to ask my son's principal and teachers.?
My son is in 5th grade and has been having alot of problems with reading comprehension. He has been tested for learning disabilities and he was diagnosed fairly young with ADD. He has been attending this school since preschool and has always struggled (especially in Reading) I have noticed that his writing are not capitalized, punctuated, etc. and the teacher puts a check on the paper. I try to meet with his teachers and schedule appointments but they seem "to busy" or they don't return my calls. I am finally meeting with the principal today. What would be some good questions to ask.

or better still, shouldn't they just ban Americans and anyone else that can't speak and write English properly from using this site until they can?

They start in their FIrst Grade don't they?

Right! At the beginning of the class, shouldn't they make each pupil at that tender age write out 1000 times the following:-

I must learn the meaning of the word Etymology
I must learn the meaning of the word Etymology
I must learn the meaning of the word Etymology
etc., etc., ....

In addition, when they go to their first English Language lesson shouldn't the teacher have the following sign printed on the front of his/her desk:-

Less is more:
Any pupil using words with more syllables than are necessary to make meaningful sentences will be given detention for one hour every day they're at school until they get it right!

Shouldn't it be mandatory that all English teachers in American schools take degrees (or what passes for them there) in the subject of Etymology?

The definition?

2007-03-28 04:53:48 · 4 answers · asked by Shirley G 1 in Words & Wordplay

Version 1 -
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Version 2
Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh -- Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Then good night, peace
