What I would like to do is help you। That is my main purpose for doing this blog. Education is important and I want to help you help your child in their schooling. So I will post blogs from my own thoughts and ideas to help, but what would be best is if you gave me questions that I could answer for you. Saving you time on the research, and being able to get a good accurate answer. So just write your question in the comment section and I will start answering them.

My Kid is off to School

My son just is starting kindergarten and it is different to watch him grow up now and send him off to school. The past two days I have taken him to school and picked him up, what an experience. It really is good, kind of scary as well. today I walked him to the front doors and let him go to his classroom by himself. As well I have had the opportunity to watch my little girl while my wife is canning. This is also a great experience, pretty demanding though. What a great opportunity I have, I hope I don't take it for granted.
What I would like to share today is something that I have learned even more here in the last couple days, helping my little boy with homework. The attention span that children have. In school a good teacher should be changing their teaching technique or topic almost every 20 minutes. That is right almost every 20 minutes, and for young kids it is even more often than that. So when you are helping you child out with their homework at home done force them to do it for hours on end. You will get better results if they work really hard for 20 minutes take a break (even a 5 min. break) and then go back to working. This is for any child, even for ones that have no learning disability.

Am I teaching?

Well I am a certified teacher, and I even taught last year. But what do ya know, it has been the hardest thing for me to land a job this year. tried all over the state and even many other states. On average there has been at least 20 applicants per position. Crazy. What do I do. Well I can give advise to you. I will be putting thought and ideas on how you can help your child succeed in school.
