I teach math and whenever anyone asks "when will I use this?" they get the same answer. They know it so well they answer each other now :) I tell them they probably won't use a lot of it, and will forget a lot of it - but they will know how to figure it out again if they ever need to. They'll know how to solve problems. They will know how to think critically. They'll know how to keep going with things are hard.

I use your No Homework Binder and that has been very helpful. I also had to start assigning Saturday School for those not doing it. That motivated them to do it or at least bring it to class. They still have to sign the binder, but at least they have it to go over it with us. We go over it each day. It is fast and furious, but it is a MUST. I tell my kids daily, they have to start being responsible and accepting that school is their "job". <br /><br /><a href="http://hodgesherald.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Hodges Herald</a>Elizabeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/03631888160487689613noreply@blogger.com
