While our new government is being set up, I've had a bit of a stressful week.
Home-schooling can be challenging on multiple levels and over the last several weeks since the beginning of the term, the challenge was dealing with teaching two very intensive maths programmes to two different children of different ages. Both levels are excellent and I can see incredibly beneficial to persevere with, but woah! The load on the poor mother who has to teach both!
I'm getting there. I think as we get used to the type of work involved, then I'll be able to do both at once for periods - that both at once makes a huge difference.
Here's what I'm talking about: Saxon Math 2 (Homeschool Study Kit) and Saxon Math 6/5 (Homeschool study kit). The link to Math 6/5 has a comprehensive review of how Saxon Math works.
UPDATE: According to Cindy Kiro, most NZ'ers support the anti-smacking law change. The question asked was : "Should children be entitled to the same protection from assault as adults?".
Oh, for goodness sakes! I'd say yes if asked that question! The thing is, a smack does not equate to assault and Cindy Kiro is making out that NZ'ers think that the two are the same. Unbelievable. For more, read Most Kiwis back anti smacking laws - survey.
