I've observed repeatedly that it's often a case of the child or adult's learning style being different than the manner in which the material is presented or taught...and most curriculum is chosen by a small committee, not the teachers actually teaching each subject at each grade level. Most teachers try to hard accomodate a variety of learning styles, but you can only do so much being one teacher with 18-25 kid in each class and 45 minutes per class period to do it (in most cases).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-51361359669211156512017-09-27T22:24:38.295-05:002017-09-27T22:24:38.295-05:00Actually, many well-known psychologists will tell ...Actually, many well-known psychologists will tell you that developmentally, boys concentrate on motor skills initially. Pushing, forcing, pressuring ("encouraging") boys to read before they're developmentally ready causes them to intensely dislike reading-potentially for a lifetime. As they master and exceed at motor skills, their brain development catches up and their reading skills generally not only catch up but rival and sometimes surpass girls'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-46798858452902352482017-09-27T22:17:02.674-05:002017-09-27T22:17:02.674-05:00Anonymous @ 1:13- Your post was beautifully expres...Anonymous @ 1:13- Your post was beautifully expressed.

I think she might have been more comfortable in a simple white satin classic A-line dress with a scoop neck and short sleeves (or sleeveless). The sleeves seemed too fussy and looked even binding and the waist was unnaturally high for a petite young lady (visually cutting her proportionally 1/3 to 2/3). Joy, on the other hand, was lovely and her hair beautiful. I especially loved her brown sandals. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-74612331170166263132017-09-27T20:44:13.226-05:002017-09-27T20:44:13.226-05:00Ellie, any word on Jana lately?

Instead we heard various debates about when to learn division; what age to send children to school. Over the years I have discovered that kids will learn what they want to learn when they are ready to learn it. It's interesting how this blog can veer off from the Duggars to people's points of view on just about everything. Personally, in spite of a decent education, I would rather discuss the beautiful dresses Joy tried on.

No need for Renee or the photographer or Ellie to do a disclaimer. There are a variety of styles for a wide variety of brides. Just because you prefer modest doesn't mean you should be critical or censure someone else's preference. You could have simply stately, "I prefer a modest look." and left it at that.

They knew which letter was which! They had some toy device that spoke the letters for them when they placed a letter and pushed a button. They were repeating what the toy said. They could find the letters for their names. They are only steps away from reading at this point, if they can recognize letters and are learning phonics.<br /><br />I'll never forget the time a few years ago when I was babysitting a 2 year old and he wanted to play with his mother's iPad. I had no idea how to turn it on or use it. Not only did he know, but he knew where to find the games he played on it. Kid was smarter than I was! I think kids these days are much smarter than we give them credit for, and can be taught just about anything, even at early ages.
