Dispelling Myths About Homemaking A few years ago I came across an article bemoaning the job of homemaking. I don’t recall the source because I certainly didn’t bookmark it {big smile}. The author would have convinced me to negate homemaking as a career if I wasn’t already a homemaker and hadn’t experienced the truth and fineness of homemaking first hand. Myth Number One: You need to be rich or at least well off to be a homemaker or stay at home mama. Over the years I have kept a home on a very, very meager income (below the national poverty level and without public assistance)and on a very spacious income. Myth Number Two: Being a Homemaker is bad for your marriage. Excuse my sarcasm for a moment. One of my pet peeves (a gentle way of putting it) is hearing people say that they don’t have the patience to be around children – as if God shorted them. Myth Number Four: Being a stay at home Mom is a waste of intelligence Because negotiating world (home) peace is an easy thing to do, right? P.S. By Hannah, Cultivating Home

The Socratic Method The Socratic Method:Teaching by Asking Instead of by Tellingby Rick Garlikov The following is a transcript of a teaching experiment, using the Socratic method, with a regular third grade class in a suburban elementary school. I present my perspective and views on the session, and on the Socratic method as a teaching tool, following the transcript. The class was conducted on a Friday afternoon beginning at 1:30, late in May, with about two weeks left in the school year. This time was purposely chosen as one of the most difficult times to entice and hold these children's concentration about a somewhat complex intellectual matter. The point was to demonstrate the power of the Socratic method for both teaching and also for getting students involved and excited about the material being taught. The experiment was to see whether I could teach these students binary arithmetic (arithmetic using only two numbers, 0 and 1) only by asking them questions. 1) "How many is this?" 4) Another way?

Well, it's been just over a month since my home management binder Q&A post, and I am finally ready to share an update. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on why you love your binder AND why you don't. I found it all very helpful as I attempted to re-work my own binder into something more ... well, workable. One challenge I've needed to address is that I just have too many planning "tools" going at once, so I decided to try and make my HM binder as useful as possible. Let's take a look, shall we? Front cover ... To be honest, I'm not crazy about this paper, but I'm leaving it as is, for now. Just inside ... On the left, I taped down two index cards. First section: Daybook Pages ... But here's the thing ... A Master To-Do List: Next comes my Clippings Journal ...
