In my case, they are denying ever saying things they said during lecture. Yes I am 100% sure they said these things. I keep getting answers wrong because “I never said that” or “where are you getting this information”. And when I show proof and ask for clarification I just don’t get a response? I’m at a loss here.
I am homeschooling my 6 year old (almost 7) and really struggling, she doesn't want to do anything, she lasts maybe 30 min. I have learning games and different ways for her to learn, I give her a choice between paperwork,games,or computer games, she always chooses paper but gets tired really fast when writing numbers or letters, I feel like she is SO behind her peers and it gives me anxiety . I know kids learn at their own pace but I still feel like she needs to be where other 1st graders are, she is just starting to read. She struggles with math as well especially subtraction. She was diagnosed with Autism level 1 and I think she also has add, any advice how to get her to do the important subjects ??? I am really hard on myself and feel like I'm failing her.
Has anyone else missed opportunities simply because they found out about them too late?
I'm an international student and over the past year I've spent countless hours searching for scholarships, competitions, research programs, summer programs, and other opportunities.
What surprised me was how scattered everything is. I found information through Google, Reddit, Instagram, Discord servers, newsletters, university websites, and even random comments.
A few opportunities I would have genuinely applied to were already past the deadline by the time I discovered them.
I'm curious:
Would love to hear your experiences.
I’m looking for summer programs related to criminal law, legal studies, mock trial, criminal justice, or similar fields for students ages 13–14. I’m primarily interested in programs located on the East Coast of the United States, but I’m open to other places in the United States as well.
Hi all! I am a curriculum write and ex PK-3 educator of 13 years. I truly believe the next step in the Science of Reading game is going to be teaching morphology to help with spelling skills. Has anyone been to any trainings, webinars, professional development about this that they enjoyed? It is a fascinating topic to me and makes me excited for our learners our there.
There's a phrase on tiktok that is "she wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary but somewhat gauche" People are asked randomly in the streets what this means and when they get stumped on the words, people go "omg reading literacy crisis" and circlejerk in the comments about how they understood it and how smart they are
I hate this because the words are intentionally verbose. Words of which people never speak (Hello, gauche??) of in regular speech. Besides what the hell does a "silhouette of clothes" even mean? Maybe I am "illiterate" but how does someone wear a silhouette of clothes? Silhouette is the outline of something. How does one wear the outline of clothes? Or is it saying that she wore regular clothes (like a t shirt and shorts) but the outline/silhouette was extraordinary/gauche? How does that make any sense? like her t shirt was regular but the edges/outline/silhouette of the t shirt were unconventional but tacky, like rainbow colored or something? 😂 Yet even that doesn't make any sense since it explicitly states she wore a silhouette of clothes, not that she wore clothes WITH a silhouette...
It feels like people don't understand the sentence because it fundamentally doesn't make any sense and the ridiculous verbosity of it exemplifies that issue. Or maybe given how I am trying to deduce the actual meaning of the passage that makes me more literate? Either way it feels pompous. It's like if I said gibberish but in esoteric words, which to me is exactly what it's doing.
Genuine question. My son struggles in class not because the material is too hard but because everything moves too fast for him to actually absorb it before they're already on the next thing. His teachers aren't doing anything wrong, it's just the class just can't wait for one kid. Is self-paced learning actually effective or is it a marketing term at this point?
