1:58 am
sprite

about ready for the vacation, actually, I am tired. Did an evening shift last night, so in bed too late. Slept okayish. Today is not too bad though, just shopping groceries and cooking, for 2 days, we will bring pasta sauce ready to eat for our first day camping out. Almost everything is packed.

While I was working last night, Rob loaded everything that was ready in the .... ugh, have to look up the word.

2:03 am
sprite

indeed! So much more satisfactory, isn't it, this way
2:04 am
m9f9l

But I'm not liking this gr4 much,lol. 76 to go and it's slow

7:59 am
Dorens

Our congressman is chair of appropriations committee.. Used to talk a lot about the environment and says he still cares, so we're trying to pressure him to remember his conscience. We worked hard on him on ACA and it seems to have helped, alhough one never truly knows the motives of a successful politician. But he did say he couldn't vote for it about an hour before it was pulled

8:09 am
Scrabbler

Doren, the boys are doing very well. I visit them every Monday and they stayed here one weekend in March. I think Jaxson is showing signs of kindergarten readiness although no boy is ready for what current kindergarten does to children. Drill and grill all day...worksheets..no time for play...so sad.
8:09 am
car.eeyore

I felt the same way about preschool. Thank goodness the one we chose focused on play and creativity first!
8:10 am
bichon

Montessori schools or Reggio Emilia are great for that
8:11 am
Scrabbler

Jax loves to play, to be creative, to do imaginative play--that is what early childhood is about. But to make kids sit still and do worksheets all day in K and 1st grade is developmentally inappropriate.
8:12 am
bichon

Most schools haave Common Core and are tested on that. Yuck
8:14 am
Scrabbler

Yes, there needs to be a complete rehaul of elementary education.
8:15 am
bichon

Schools are rated by the test scores. Some kids don't test well.
8:20 am
Scrabbler

I think the underlying problem is that kids are advanced to the next grade when they have not mastered their current grade level, then they get further behind. Basic reading and math skills must be mastered by 3rd grade or so before kids are so far behind.
8:28 am
rururocks

the underlying problem in America is that we don't spend enough of our money on schools and teachers
8:28 am
rururocks

period
8:30 am
hurshy

it's true - and when one looks ahead, one really sees that the civic budget of the future will need to put more money into that, but also lots should be directed to elder care and mental health care.
8:31 am
rururocks

yes. instead of the military and supporting other countries, and nasa, and other wasteful tax dollars spent
8:32 am
Scrabbler

Phone call.
8:32 am
hurshy

supporting other countries is a miniscule portion of the budget, it's like 1-2%. the military is the real huge one, yeah.
8:33 am
hurshy

no, sorry, it's LESS than 1% of the budget
8:33 am
rururocks

that maybe true.. but we've been giving money to Saudi Arabia for years that could be spent here.. they're better off than we are
8:33 am

8:33 am

I also agree with Hurshy's comments on Mental health and caring for the elderly..
8:39 am

where are you getting that 'hundreds of millions' idea for saudi arabia, ru? the state dept figures i found say that in FY2013 for instance, it was $19,000.
8:40 am
rururocks

when I think about all the useless military spending we do around the world
8:40 am
rururocks

I read it in an article hurshy.. the bush regime funneled hundreds of millions into Saudi for some lame reasons.
8:41 am

I think the state "figures" lie in this case

we've already spent more with Trumps protection and travel in a few months than Obama did during his both his terms
8:45 am
periwinkle

nm figured it out
8:45 am
hurshy

and trump was one of the people saying it was ridiculous how we were giving millions to saudi arabia, so if the state department figures from 4 years ago do not reflect that, it just shows another way he is wrong, therefore, i don't think the state dept figures would be LOW - but also, it's a congressional budget report from BEFORE trump. so i think it is not crazy to believe.
8:46 am
hurshy

and factcheck.org cites this report as a basis for info
8:46 am

I don't think we should be spending a dime in the middle east

Israel and Egypt get a lot - billions for military aid.

8:48 am

when did Molly clue the GE 11
8:49 am

i proved millions and billions in foreign military aid. i said it is not going to saudia arabia. and how much of it is 'wasteful' is certainly not something i am qualified to determine. but i do want to reduce military spending.

** finito ** last word CE 6/21

Hi Everyone; over half way, NBT, NBS. And I haven't been in the PB yet for putting words in chat! ;-)
(Note the word "Chat" in that sentence!)
5:12 pm
MollyL

*Notes the word "chat"
5:14 pm
Nef

Well, I wrote the wrong word that I wanted people to be aware of in that comment. I should have said Note the word "Yet" re: posting words into chat. No wonder it's quiet here. Thanks, Molly for catching that.
5:21 pm
MollyL

Oh, no problem. I keep waiting for people to post the gr4 word in the chat.
5:26 pm
Nef

are you done yet Molly?

Was first entered into the chat log at 2:04am
5:28 pm
Nef

LOL, zooz, are you doing research or keeping track?
5:29 pm
Nef

(or was that you?)
5:29 pm
zoozzoom

:-) no was just curious when, Molly, said she was waiting for someone to put it into the chat.
5:29 pm
zoozzoom

was not I :-)

I was here this morning and I see so many new words now.

I'm back too!

How was your day?
5:37 pm
zoozzoom

Always good to come back with fresh eyes so to speak.
5:38 pm
Scrabbler

Nice afternoon. I saw just 4 kids so I got some other work done.
5:38 pm
Nef

I always have to take a break or 2 to see new words.
5:38 pm
car.eeyore

Nice. I wish you a slow pace this weekend.
5:38 pm
car.eeyore

I'm off again. Have a great night everyone!
5:38 pm

You too, Car :-)
5:39 pm

bye car.ee

Scrabbler

First 2 patients of the morning are "behavior problems". Ages 4 and 6, siblings. Rather feral is how I would describe them.
5:40 pm
zoozzoom

who the parents :-)
5:41 pm
Nef

Oh, my, Scrabs. That sounds awful! (Sometimes I thought my kids acted that way; but only with each other; & they knew how to act normal most of the time)
5:42 pm
Scrabbler

Father moved away 3 years ago. Mother even left the kids with the grandparents for a year or so when she chased another guy. She return 2 yrs ago. We see these feral kids regularly: undisciplined, wild, out of control.
5:42 pm
Nef

I was talking with a teachers' assistant at my grandsons' elementary school thisAM. She said that so many kids with behavior problems just don't get attention from anyone at home. (I felt so bad for some of the kids she told me about;I wanted to cry!)
5:43 pm
Scrabbler

I don't mean just her kids, I mean we see these type of kids are far too common because too many parents are not behaving like parents.
5:43 pm
zoozzoom

Hence why I said the parents.
5:44 pm
Scrabbler

So true, Nef! Parents are self-absorbed! Immature, irresponsible, unable to set their wants aside to meet their kids needs. So we see an abundance of sad and angry kids.
5:45 pm
Nef

From what I was told today; I'm seriously thinking of talking with DH to see if I could volunteer for part time next year
5:45 pm

Good morning. What sad situations. What do they expect you to do Scrabbler?

It is so unfortunate when parents or care takers put their personal needs before the needs of the children they are taking care of.
5:48 pm

Happy babbling everyone.

congrats Zooz, sweet dreams

YAY, Zoozz!!! WTG!!!

Scrabbler

Most parents come with a report from the teacher to have their child "tested" for ADHD. But all young kids are inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive, and should become less so as they get to be 8 or 9, because of development AND their parents teach them self-control and self-discipline.
5:50 pm
Scrabbler

Yay zooz. Sleep well.
5:52 pm
Nef

It really is, Molly. And some of these kids have absolutely unbelievable home lives too. This gal (who is the grandma of my grandson's dear friend) was telling me about a boy confiding in her that he doesn't know who his dad is & his mom has 3 or 4 boyfriends that come & go a lot.
5:53 pm
Scrabbler

It's true, Nef.
5:55 pm
Nef

as a T.A. she takes a child out of the classroom or to the back of the room & helps him with his reading (or mother whatever) & she says that she thinks this boy and maybe others just crave that 1 on 1 attention; he's sweet kid if someone is paying attention to him.
5:56 pm
MollyL

It is sad, Nef. I hear so many stories about how parents or care takers put their personal needs before the needs of the children they take care of. It's like the kids come in second to their dinner plans and vacation plans.
5:56 pm
Nef

(that was "or whatever", not sure where that "mother" came from)
5:57 pm
Scrabbler

Even during office visits parents are texting--or taking calls--instead of answering my questions or listening to my recommendations. They cannot even spend 15 minutes focused on their own kid.
5:57 pm
MollyL

Spell check
6:00 pm
MollyL

It is a regular thing for me to see parents walking down the street with their kids, not holding their hands, not minding them, because the parent is so focused on their cell phone.
6:01 pm
Nef

I volunteer & do vision & hearing screening each year; and we had a 10 or 11 yr old Hmong boy who could only see the largest letter on the chart. I asked him he had glasses; he said they were in his book bag, so I told him to go get them. They were his sisters' glasses that she'd grown out of; it's a very poor family and they share; I wanted to take him & have his eye exam & get the glasses for him!
6:02 pm
Nef

(I was told I couldn't do that; but I could donate $$$ to a fund at school & they could take care of that instead.)
6:03 pm
lynxxx

pfft !
6:03 pm
MollyL

Nef, you are like the caretaker of the world.
6:05 pm
Nef

BTW, Molly, my keyboard is very quirky, that's why I use spellcheck all the time. My arthritis in my hands is really painful right now & I will be seeing the surgeon the beginning of May; but this keyboard is the easiest to use for me)
6:06 pm
Nef

And, yes, Molly, lots of nurses end up with a caretaker complex. I do wear my heart on my sleeve at times.
6:09 pm
Nef

And, the last time I was at school, I was told that he now had had his eye exam & had his own glasses! :-)
6:10 pm
Scrabbler

Very good.
6:10 pm
lynxxx

Yay!!!!
6:14 pm
Nef

Yeah. The T.A. told me the principal (a male) is very aware & really gets involved with some of these kids. One kid wasn't showing up for school on time or at all & he had the mom come in And told her that she would lose her kids if they got reported to social services. She said he stands out in the front of school & waits (even after the bell rings) for some of the troubled kids to come in. They do all sorts of things to help the kids & families that are too poor or their lives are too chaotic
6:16 pm
Scrabbler

That's what ou do when you really care and are committed to improving the future of kids.
6:18 pm
Nef

I like this school district, (they're emphasis isn't on sports, but rather the kids; my son says); but this particular elementary school is really great too
6:19 pm
MollyL

Oh Nef, so glad the spell check helps with your arthritis. Yay!!! Nurses as care takers, yes. That makes sense.
