The year marches on. Soon November will be over and the last month of the year will commence. I need my children to really get the pedal pressed all the way to the floor and go, go, go! It’s been slow, and it’s always, “I will later” and then not. Also I still need funds to get more stuff. It’s always birthdays and gadgets and never getting ahead and never quite catching up on pure educational stuff.
Oh well, there’s always next year. (roll eyes)
It’s gonna get tough for them. I will need to get another computer here (old laptops are on their way out, one dead now and one nearly so.) I have blogs for them to record lots of data, things they learn, ideas they have, reviews of books, research … and it’s like leading a horse to water, you can do that, but you can’t make him drink.
My children love using the computer to look at things, learn things by searching and reading, but getting them to save stuff into a post, even a private password protected post, nope. Blank Slate Disorder. But I have helped them with it, and still it persists. Like I said, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Somehow I have to figure out why they won’t, and what will induce them to do so. Nothing, so far, has worked. Oh well.
