Blogit

princesszee @princesszee (28) • United States 15 Feb 07

Has anyone here ever been on Blogit? Why did you leave or are you still there? I used to post on Blogit a lot (before my kids were born) but now I can't justify the cost.

"So where do you get your ethics then?"

DanielMarvoloRiddle @DanielMarvoloRiddle (331) • United States 14 Feb 07

CNN thought it would be a great idea last week to run a piece on Atheists being discriminated against--something that certainly happens, especially here in a state that has been described politically as "somewhere to the right of...

princesszee Excellent points! I am glad I missed the CNN piece because it just would have teed me off. But I appreciate your points. Thank you.

princesszee @princesszee (28) • United States 14 Feb 07

How much time does everyone spend on here every day? Does it change between weekdays and weekends? I have been checking in a lot since I joined, but I haven't just sat here for more than 30 minutes. I just wondered what other...

Do you like your local news?

princesszee @princesszee (28) • United States 13 Feb 07

Every time I watch the teaser for the local news, or the actual local news, I am horrified. I live in Kansas City and I feel like the local news thinks I have a below average IQ and obsession with the most reprehensible people in...

princesszee Great question! I go through phases, right now I am really into Sujata Massey. Her books about Rei Shimura are so interesting and detailed.

Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs

smartie1685 @smartie1685 (450) • United States 13 Feb 07

Has anyone read this series that spawned the tv show Bones? If you have is it as good as the tv series. I just ordered the first 4 books from Amazon so hopefully it is. :) But I was just wondering if anyone else had read it, if...

princesszee Actually, I love the books so much I could not get into the series - her life is very different in the books. But I think if you really like her character (and a good mystery) then you will like the books. Enjoy!

When did your kids start preschool? What kind was it?

princesszee @princesszee (28) • United States 12 Feb 07

My daughter turned two in December and I'm just looking for thoughts on when she should start preschool and what kind she should go to. She's very independent but she's never been to daycare or anything, either. I always planned...

Teaching the alphabet

nangkasuy @nangkasuy (83) • Philippines 12 Feb 07

My son just refuses to learn the alphabet. He learned opposites, colors and association quite early as well as counting, identification and animal sounds. He sings the alphabet song and other children songs but whenever I try to...

princesszee I've taught preschool through high school and I really wouldn't be worried about a three year old not being interested in the alphabet. Don't push him - the more stressed you are about it the more resistant he will be to learning. That said, you could do some...

firechick72 @firechick72 (167) • United States 9 Feb 07

anyone have any idea on how to get my 8 year old to help keep his room clean? he is terrible at just putting his close in his draw where they belong. I understand his room can not be spotless or anything but gezzz I would like to...

princesszee I was going to say the exact same stuff. All I would add is maybe using pictures on the checklist and hanging it in his room. It's the kind of thing that works for teachers so why not at home?

princesszee It sounds like you already know that answer. Don't let him disrespect you anymore. If he won't leave, you have two choices: move out yourself or move him out. If you can leave, get some friends together while he's at work or wherever and take your stuff and...

princesszee Teaching is hard enough for people who passionate about it, if she's already lost that there's no point in bothering anymore. I mean, is it the program or teaching that's bothering her? If it's just the program, she should stick it out. But if she's not...

Who is your favorite character on the show?

ugachaka @ugachaka (297) • United States 10 Jan 07

Hot girls aside, my favorite character became Riggins once he got his act together and committed himself to the team. He only did it to be with Lyla and he's slipped a couple times since then, but he's one of the true tough guys...

princesszee Oh my Gosh, I can't believe this is real. Or, rather, I don't want to believe this is real. How terribly sad that someone actually thought this letter was appropriate. I would have been in that principal's office the next morning, let me tell you.

What Should I Do?

princesszee @princesszee (28) • United States 12 Feb 07

I used to be an elementary school teacher in an urban school district. Last year I resigned, mainly to stay home with my 2 kids but also because my principal was a stupid, unethical, lying jerk. 9 out of 14 teachers resigned or...

princesszee Thanks for the encouragement. But these things will always happen in school districts because (at least in the one I was in) putting the kids first is considered detrimental to your career - one is never supposed to speak against the bureaucrats' educational...
