Life's Just a Stage-So Dance!

Are You Trying to Hide the Fact that You’re Having Trouble Getting Started on Your Homework?

Here’s a link to a really special Learning Resource -in fact, a bunch of resources that are part of Dr. Mel Levine’s All Kinds of Minds website.

If you or your kids aren’t lucky enough to be in small classes where the teacher can easily spot you hiding behind someone else to avoid being caught without your homework-or you’re taking an online course where no one is standing over you, looking at their watch and ‘helping” you start and stay on task- you probably better click that link right now!

Do I ever wish I had known about this resource page and the one called Managing Time and Effort before I signed up for the k12learning2.0 course at my school!  It’s way too late for me to “fix” my problems with my web2.0 assignments but I’m still struggling with other homework issues–my child’s!

Like my oldest daughter’s Preschool Teacher Extraordinaire, AnnVining, the former Director of the Atlanta Speech School‘s Nursery/Kindergarten (now retired) once told me a long time ago-at my very first parent conference: “The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Boy, was she ever right about that!

And it’s been true with all three of my children at every age and stage-elementary, middle, high school and college too-though sometimes the “nut” shows it’s from my husband’s family “tree” too-not just mine!

I’m going to stop blogging right now and print out and/or bookmark every resource page I’ve seen-there are tips about Getting Organized, Study Skills, and quite a few other useful pages of learning tips too.

Go check it out!
