Home Spun Juggling: Swimming Upstream: Thoughts on Testing

http://jugglingpaynes.blogspot.com/2015/04/swimming-upstream-thoughts-on-testing.html

Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Swimming Upstream: Thoughts on Testing. I didn't plan to test my daughter the week before schools started testing, it just happened that way. Today's paper gave stats on how many students opted out this year. I'm proud of the parents who are standing up for their children. It's hard to swim against the current, but sometimes it is the only way to effect change. You don't find change when you swim in circles. April 16, 2015 at 12:00 PM. Sounds like Sierra did well and this was c...

Home Spun Juggling: Recipes are just Guidelines, Really

http://jugglingpaynes.blogspot.com/2015/01/recipes-are-just-guidelines-really.html

Monday, January 19, 2015. Recipes are just Guidelines, Really. My 18 year old son is learning to make chocolate chip cookies. He already knows how to make scones, pancakes, waffles and a couple of pasta dishes, but like his big sister, he was slightly intimidated by the cookies. She suggested he start with a recipe from our Fannie Farmer cookbook, the same way she learned. And because my mind is so very random, I started thinking lately about how schools try to use a recipe for education-. Your analogy i...

Home Spun Juggling: Thoughts on the Village and the Child

http://jugglingpaynes.blogspot.com/2015/07/thoughts-on-village-and-child.html

Saturday, July 4, 2015. Thoughts on the Village and the Child. There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. This got me thinking. (a dangerous pastime, I know). I think of all that has risen up from schools. Learning centers, curricula, textbooks, teaching supplies, and tests are all offered by separate companies to supplement the child's education. Stores have Back-to-School sales now before classes end in the spring. How much money do we hand over to educational systems "for the kids?

Sunday, October 15, 2006. Even though it's not always easy, I'm glad I homeschool. And every year on 3 Kings' Day (Epiphany- January 6) for the last 11(! Years, I quietly, prayerfully celebrate my second birthday. I can't believe you haven't had a comment on this wonderful post!

Home Spun Juggling: Reading Outside the Books

Monday, June 8, 2015. Reading Outside the Books. What are you reading? It doesn't sound like a complicated question. Every quarter - for 17 years now - I list the books currently read by my homeschooled children. Kids read books. It's not that difficult. Is it? You're handwriting and spelling get worse. Considering my experiences, it was not a surprise I had to rethink what it means to read. I couldn't write down all of those wonderful classics I had written on my oldest daughter's reports. I cou...From ...

Home Spun Juggling: My Alter Ego

http://jugglingpaynes.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-alter-ego.html

Tuesday, March 20, 2007. What kills me is, I've gotten up in front of people and kept them interested many times! I've prattled on while juggling, I've run poetry readings, I've taught STORYTELLING, for crying out loud! While I do get stagefright beforehand, I never reach the level of anxiety during one of these events as I do when I'm just sitting in an audience voicing my opinion. The link in your sidebar to this post is broken.no need for comment, just FYI. July 26, 2010 at 8:48 AM. Depression and Rec...

Home Spun Juggling: Right out of Left Field

http://jugglingpaynes.blogspot.com/2007/06/right-out-of-left-field.html

Saturday, June 16, 2007. Right out of Left Field. Did you notice my glaring error in that last strip? No, maybe you didn't. Relatives? Look at Jess' hand. I put the pencil in the wrong hand! Not that this hasn't happened to me before. I guess because of the juggling and yoga that I do, lines tend to blur about what is left and what is right. I sometimes find myself wondering what's wrong with my handwriting only to realize I've got the pen in my right hand. My son will have had the rare opportunity of kn...
