I don't want to tempt fate - but .....................

CBA blues seem to have gone today for me too (thank goodness). Even a little bit of writing got done and a conference de-brief. Next up: more writing! The good news is my Gran seems to be improving

The daughter of a friend of mine was reading I Claudius when she was in year 6 and her parents were summoned to school to ask why they were not listening to her read at home ( i.e the school reading-yawn-scheme). They said they did listen to her read ( I Claudius amongst others) and felt that maybe she was a bit beyond Biff Kipper and Chip. The school still put in her report - needs to read more regularly!

I was berrated by my daughters school for not completing the 'reading record' at home. DD2 hated reading with a passion. Once I was satisfied she could read I stopped the nightly torment and we got on with our lives. Never did go down too well with the school me being a teacher and all that! Now she reads widely and enjoys it. Too many youngsters turned off too early to books.

War Horse - well done DS1 of MG - well said. That film has a 12 a rating for a reason.

The English teacher asked if he was going to see "War Horse" - and he answered "No - its a 12A and I am only 11" another raised eyebrow moment LOL. He did later explain that he had "read the book, but had no real interest in watching animals and humans being blown apart for entertainment, so he was going to leave it a year or so as his "suspension of belief" wasn't up to it":rotfl::rotfl:

Teacher did ask where he had heard that expression - "from my Mum - she used to work in theatre and she keeps telling me the most important thing is the story" :T SO he does still listen to me:D

Funny little chap

Would love to have been a fly on the staff room wall.

I know - I fear his cards may have been marked already:o

I think you can either take him as "cheeky" if you regard him as a younger talking to an elder - or just "having an interesting conversation"if you don't look at kids as being lesser than adults IYSWIM.................... some will delight in him, some will find him an irritating little beggar.

.................... well he is my boy after all :rotfl:

And you don't even want to hear to the conversation he had with the RE teacher that I walked in on.

I caught the "everything was explored through the pedagogy of place, so being able to walk around St Andrews and see the Religious Iconography on so many buildings was really cool"


!!!!!!!!!! where did he learn words like "pedagogy" and "iconography"???? Strange wee man :rotfl:
