Welcome to Gaia! ::

My room is actually neat......... yeah it does sound strange. Although my mom does get piss if I leave out my hockey stuff on the floor but she gets real fustrated if I don't make my bed.. I mean whocares if you make your bed? BUUT.. I heard that if you don't make your bed then you won't get any weird things growing under your bed then when you do make your bed, maybe I will use that excuse. I personally feel that I'm lucky that I come from a pretty fortunate family because we have money more than a lot of people and you know I have been selfish about where I go to school, I do go to school at a private school but have never liked public school but public isn't that bad.

Well, AKILLA, if you want to help me clean....LOL

I would love to send Logan when he gets older to a nonreligious private school. But that's a few years away. At my school, we learned the memorization technique rather than learning the phoentic method, I think at times it's why I tend to speedread, which isn't always good.

*ahem* I have agreed to a Panty Challenge, so if anyone wants to give me their panties over that smelly antonio baka guy, I'm your chickie. Boxers lurved too.

This is what happens when you sleep deprive yourself, go to sleep!!!

I have issues with stuff like that.

I forget how I was taught how to read. It wasn't hard for me to learn how to read though. It came naturally.

I watched a lot of sesame street when I was growing up. It was the best show for kids. I still think it's a good show for kids to watch.

razz I started teaching myself when I was 4 from the Cat and the Hat. I had it memorized and knew where the page turns were and learned to recognize words from that. If I remember correctly, we used the Phonics method of learning to read.

Yeah, when my brother was in Pre-K (he's 12 now) they started them on recognizing the alphabet and small words to get them ready for Kindergarten. It's hard to keep up with education standards and not push them when we keep getting trounced by other countries when it comes to actual knowledge and how well students perform on tests.

wink As for Einstein, remember he failed math all through school, failed at schooling in general. Being a genius isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Here's a funny I found in a friends' LJ....

Go to Google Image Search, type in Ainsley Harriot (UK celebrity chef whom some of you Johnny Foreigner types might be familiar with) and spot which picture is the odd-one-out. ;P

The tuition for my school is at least like 24k for day students and 34k for boarding students. Pretty expensive, it seems like the cost of a private school and college is pretty much the same nowadays. But I got a scholarship for my school.

I've been in ones since I was in 6th grade. I did go to a public school for K-5th then I switched to an all-boys prep school.
