maybe you are in the wrong line of work, hurshy?
8:37 am

but it provides the paycheck that allows for the good times

trials and hard times in life are needed hurshy,as painful as they are.it is much like a sword being put to the fire and tempered again and again to strengthen its core as in life a body that has everything handed to it on a platter is a weak person and fails and the merest adversity,so too will a untempered blade shatter at its first battle..mmm..waxing poetic again..time for meds brb;)
8:40 am

this is true crossy but i feel like most of my life has been like that, cause of depression and other things.

lol,if i listed all of my last ten years even Job of the bible would feel sorry at times for me:)
8:41 am
Nef

I really hated my 2nd to the last job I had and couldn't stand it for a full year; once I decided I needed a change, my started looking around and even though I felt I wasn't qualified, I went to an interview "for interview experience" and that turned into the job I retired from.
8:41 am
crosshair

but we must hang tough and kicl each day in the scrote and rip and tear any goodness out of it each and every day
8:44 am
Nef

I've always felt that if you love what you do for a living, it isn't work; and also that I could earn enough to live on. My income from my last job was just 1/3 of what I made as a nurse working in the hospital; but we had "enough" because I was happy.
8:44 am
crosshair

but i am here by the miracle of medicine and my beloved.this is my 4th life or so and all a bonus round or encore:) this means i can do nothing wrong and every second of every day is a gift.its like having a old life sent for a rebuild and detailing and coming back all nice and new and in the shrink wrap:)

I loved working in SV-ICU; did it for 34 years and when I couldn't do it anymore because of my foot injury & surgeries; I didn't know what I'd do. Ending up running a prenatal clinic was such a drastic change; but so invigorating, and I ended up loving that too. (I still volunteer and act as a consultant there; but DH is now my main nursing focus).

no green beans? my fave veg to grow
9:27 am
Scrabbler

I planted Columbine seeds--perennial. I did so much work over the last few days--weeding, I made 4 hanging planters (sweet potato vine + coleus), planted pansies (one of my faves), and prepared a new garden plot.
9:28 am
Aloyisius

nice! the joys of summer
9:28 am
Scrabbler

I should do beans too. I am doing more container planting on the deck. Do deer eat green beans? I prefer to not feed the deer. They devoured 2 dozen tulips this spring.
9:29 am
Aloyisius

groundhogs LOVE green beans and so do deer
9:30 am
crosshair

scrabby,when we lived further north we used to plant 2 gardens,one tented with chicken wire for us and in the furtest corner of the lot,away from the people garden,we planted and entire garden of romaine lettuce for rabbits,deer etc
9:31 am
Scrabbler

There are no groundhogs up here. I do see them in the nearby park. The raccoons are rascals too. They dig up newly planted flowers searching for bulbs to eat. And they have knocked down my hummingbird feeders a few times this past week. And they ate my unsowed sunflower seeds that sat on the icnic table.
9:31 am
Aloyisius

I had a neighbor who went to the feed store, bought a huge bag of rabbit food, and made a perimeter moat around his garden, lining it with the food.. the rabbits left his garden alone
9:32 am
Scrabbler

I have never seen rabbits up here either. They probably have to many predators to even have a chance.
9:32 am
Scrabbler

Great idea.
9:33 am

The rabbits probably all left in a huff because they are jealous of your residential rabbits. : )

It was amusing on the show "Bones" when she had her baby and the sign her friends made for her homecoming party said "Welcome Stapes"
9:57 am
Scrabbler

Really, bichon? It is a result of a developmental error during embryological life. My youngest sister had surgery for it.

I was teaching math this afternoon, too -- 5th graders. Putatively review, but as I wandered around the room those kids really need a lot of hand-holding still. Just reading a table with more than two rows was confusing

Heyas kids ..
7:24 pm

THERE's TOR! rofl
7:24 pm

... I'm sure ... up here the high school ends up splitting into two streams ... ... the so called "applied" math kids end up doing grade 5 to grade 7 stuff in their senior year of high school and often don't do it well
7:25 pm
torgone

Just back from picking up grandbaby ..
7:26 pm
stidmama

there is something similar here, only not quite so systematic. It's called "basic skills" and they keep kids all together up through about 6th or 7th grade and then pull the ones who needed remediation years before out to do more life skills type math
7:26 pm
stidmama

grandbaby???? when did you get a grandchild, tor? *mind boggles*
7:28 pm
torgone

She's 14 months old stid ..
7:29 pm
stidmama

I wish that kids who need remediation got it as soon as they needed it, so they didn't fall behind in the first place. There are so many kids in the classes I sub in who aren't comfortable with basic multiplication, but who are being asked to multiply or divide fractions and decimals. Or do roots. Or... *shakes teacher head sadly* it's a recipe for learning to hate the content area.
7:30 pm
stidmama

wow tor ... I know I was in the middle of student teaching back then, but gee. My brain must be full of holes to lose information like that! Congrats! *admires grandbaby*
7:30 pm

... so many things happen in elementary school
7:31 pm
doseffing

... if you get one teacher in your elementary career who is uncomfortable with numbers ... it can be the end of your math learning
7:32 pm
doseffing

... that's what happened with my younger daughter ... grade two was great at music, art, french ... but could barely count ... and scared my daughter out of ever figuring out how to learn math
7:33 pm
doseffing

... I've discovered that in the province of Manitoba they will let people into to degree programs in education to get elementary certifications ... who took never got past fifth grade math themselves
7:33 pm
stidmama

True. I was a bubble-head today, but the kids know me and we got through the math together (I taught this stuff last year when student teaching, too). They usually seem to be at least as competent when I am done teaching as when their regular teacher finishes. Personally I always grasped math best when it was in context -- science, or history or music. Some drills and such are good, but when that's the entire focus it takes the joy out of it. I learned algebra "for real" when I took physics in high school.
7:33 pm
doseffing

... and now they wonder why the level of math learning is falling
7:34 pm
stidmama

In Washington they require a certain amount of college-level math, but to be honest those courses can be pretty "basic" too.
7:34 pm
stidmama

I took through calculus in high school, studied stats and accounting in college (and then had a brain injury that scrambled the circuits), so I know I can relearn things, I just don't remember it all automatically.
7:35 pm
doseffing

... I know it can be hard ... the high school calculus course in Ontario is called "Calculus and Vectors"
7:35 pm
doseffing

... I know it can be hard ... the high school calculus course in Ontario is called "Calculus and Vectors"
7:36 pm
doseffing

... I'm terrified I'm going to get a question about the Vectors portion because my knowledge and practice is long past the "this bread is stale so throw it out date" that I know I couldn't answer anything in class
7:37 pm
stidmama

sometimes when the math is above where my current using level is, I ask the kids to tell me what they understand. Usually, by the time they finish explaining, I have filled in the gaps for myself. Sometimes, when I am lucky, they fill in the gaps as they explain what they are thinking!
7:38 pm
stidmama

often there is another student in the class who has a firm enough grasp of the task that together we can figure it all out.
7:38 pm
doseffing

... that's exactly what you should do
7:39 pm
stidmama

*sparkles at praise*
7:40 pm
doseffing

... the only way to learn math ... is to do math ... ... so they've got to be encouraged to do it when they don't know ... ... if they see that's what you're doing ... they might get the idea that it's okay to get it wrong at first ... ... it's a phrase we don't seem to be able to use anymore ... "figure it out"
7:41 pm
stidmama

today, it was obvious (in almost all cases) that the kids were either not reading the entire math question, OR they were looking at the table incorrectly. And of course, the perennial favorite: remember to make the final conversion (ounces to pounds, or yards to feet). Of course, we are still in the dark ages and have to do the complicated "standard measurements" stuff. Next chapter they will look at the more logical metric system.
7:41 pm
doseffing

... "figuring it out" means you're going to be mistaken at first but that with time you'll get it right

... metric must be hard down there ... ... they never get to see it in their non-school lives

I often model "rethinking" for them as we work through the math! And sometimes I like to point out that one of the students came up with a different (or better) way to solve something. They love knowing that there can be more than one way to think of the work, and that their peers are demonstrating good thinking.

doseffing

... if only more elementary teachers could or would do that
7:43 pm
stidmama

It is hard in some ways, but I think our grandparents never had metric at all and they did just fine. But in science they tend to use metric, so it all works out I think.

... I had two good classes today ... and in both I was asked to show them how to solve a particularly difficult problem ....

... I was able to do it by a truly brute force method but I was begging them to look at it again ... there had to be a better way or more elegant way ...
7:44 pm
stidmama

I think it's easier to be honest when we don't know, or when we mis-speak, or when we just goofed up. NOT being perfect is less stressful than trying to be so.

I think, just by mentioning that there might be an easier/more elegant solution that you open the doors to creative thinking.
