This plan worked beautifully for about five minutes. (Seriously, parents-you may mock me, but can you honestly say you haven’t tried something similar?) I could answer any questions she might have without opening my eyes. I would lie on the daybed on the porch with my eyes closed while she worked at the adjacent table. So I devised a plan the other evening when Tabitha needed to finish her first-grade math homework. Many interesting and productive projects, lots of interesting and challenging teaching problems.
It has been a long, busy semester for me in my community college work.
