There was a young man with lumbago

@habanero “if a “disability” really only becomes a problem in one setting— our factory-model K-12 system— (we should) challenge that label.”

from Rethinking school
“In coining this term (learning disability) he gave us a way to classify learning differences that enabled us to stop thinking about how the system might need to change— and encouraged us to focus on the student, not school, as the problem”

Talked myself up to make phone calls and got an answering machine. Doh
Seriously, I’m so spoiled, we always do things Thursday mornings, during the school year, because NO CROWDS!
Homeschooling means never having to go to the Zoo during peak hours— except when Cousins visit 😝😝
@igmp_join I had never heard of it before I met the G&P crew. I remember something similar one year at VBS in Chattanooga, but not a gutter? @33MHz

@thedoctor nice! I was looking at our primed dining room the other day, thinking it might be time to pick a paint color
