Just A Wednesday

[debris4spike]

Work went well this morning - even if we did have one patient who assured me that drinking water would give him a headache.  One of our other patients, a 4 year old boy, was so quiet that his mum said that next time she wanted some peace she would invite me arround for a cuppa!!!  We also had a teenager who failed to turn up.  So, overall a mixed selection of men!

I have actually written a couple of letters this afternoon, and when I have done this I may even write another one.  I owe someone a letter who wrote at Christmas decrying Covid ... saying it just didn't exist.  Her other comment was that all vaccinations were only to add trackers into us ... mind you this is the same person who is "home schooling"  By that I mean her 3 kids have talks about a favourite topic of the day.  When I have asked her about basic subjects, including maths, in the past, she has just said that these things get "picked up" as you go along.  In many ways I wonder why I keep the connection, but I do hope that she will actually see some sense about a few things (although I doubt it!)

Oh well - at least I have an easy question today -

24. What would be the ultimate travel experience for you?

Two years, minimum, on a world tour.  Staying in hotels, and getting a combination of guided tours, and time to explore.  Well, I can dream, can't I??

I hope those kids turn out all right.

Yes, that's my real worry - how are those kids going to cope with the future ... job applications will be a nightmare for a start

And I thought that we only had crazies like that in the U.S.A. Her poor kids!

I think oddballs are around everywhere. I do wonder how are those kids going to cope with the future ... job applications will be a nightmare for a start

*shakes head* I really don't get people who think like that. My usual response to the tracker in the vaccine rubbish is that whoever is tracking me had better like cats otherwise they would die of boredom.

LOL - what a brilliant answer!

People pick up such weird ideas about Covid. Homeschooling without core subjects means her kids won’t be able to do anything. I hope they end up getting some kind of education elsewhere.

I've seen various memes on Facebook reminding people that they don't need to worry about trackers in their vaccinations if they're using cell phones and social media because they track everything. Also, memes reminding people that they're not that important - the government doesn't care enough to track them. Sad and funny at the same time.

Home schooling can be done so well - I have a friend who homeschooled her two kids, but I know she was very diligent about it and used actual professionally published curricula. There are so many people I know that I would hate to see homeschooling their kids though because there's no way they could teach their kids adequately.

I read a few year ago about a woman who homeschooled her daughter using only the King James version of the Bible. That's it. She claims her daughter will learn math and science and geography and all those things from the Bible and what's not in there she doesn't need to know. I think she's nuts! (I love the Bible and read it every day. I don't think anyone's going to learn math from reading all the genealogies in it.)

But, as you say I have met people who have followed a curriculum, and home schooled (a family of Jehovah's Witnesses I knew at my old address). But their kids took their school exams etc.

Oh boy, I read my Bible each day ... but will admit I tend to skim the genealogies (but as I did Maths at school maybe I am OK!!) So presumably with Geography she doesn't believe that America, the UK, etc even exist, as they aren't mentioned!

Your friend sounds like very hard work. Her poor kids. I think I'd be tempted to report her to social services!

I will admit I am tempted - I shall see how her next letter is!
