God forbid ppl with reading disabilities and non-native English speakers have something to help them read amirite? 🙄
[Context]
I think a better alternative would be to read an annotated edition of a classic book rather than substituting it with a version that...
• Reduces the amount of text. I don't think I need to explain why this isn't a good thing.
• Simplifies historical words which reflect the time period they're from (e.g., Erelong: before long, soon).
Original text from Jane Eyre: While I looked, I thought myself happy, and was surprised to find myself ere long weeping—and why?
Vs.
Text from the FreeSchool version (simplified) of Jane Eyre: While I looked, I thought myself happy. I was surprised to find myself before long weeping – and why?
In the original version, you see what "before long" looked like back then. Neat!
• Simplifies non-archaic words that can expand a non-native's English speaker's word toolkit (e.g., Diffident: hesitant, unassertive).
Original text from Jane Eyre: "Mr. Rivers," I said, turning to him, and looking at him, as he looked at me, openly and without diffidence, "you and your sisters...
Vs.
Text from the FreeSchool version (simplified) of Jane Eyre: “Mr. Rivers,” I said, turning to him, and looking at him, as he looked at me, openly and without shyness. “You and your sisters...
An opportunity to learn a new word was lost here.
• Omits context.
Original text from Jane Eyre: “Tant pis!” said her Ladyship, “I hope it may do her good!” Then, in a lower tone, but still loud enough for me to hear, “I noticed her; I am a judge of physiognomy, and in hers I see all the faults of her class.”
More text: But I liked his physiognomy even less than before: it struck me as being at the same time unsettled and inanimate.
You don't get to learn a French expression, tant pis, in the simplified version. :(
Vs.
Text from the FreeSchool version (simplified) of Jane Eyre: “Too bad!” said her Ladyship. “I hope it may do her good!” Then, in a lower tone, but still loud enough for me to hear, “I noticed her; I am a judge of faces and characters, and in hers I see all the faults of her class.”
More text: But I liked the look of him even less than before: something in his face was at the same time unsettled and lifeless.
The Victorians believed in physiognomy, but all instances directly referring to it were cut out!
Yeah. Do you see where I'm coming from, anon?

Life gives me spaghetti i tie it into knots
Life gives me lemons i eat em on the spot
This weeks moral dilemma was sending Des to public school or not. Once we got our first utility bill for Studio City, I pre-enrolled him for what I thought was Kindergarten. Then the school called me and was like "hey, we have TK." I was like uh, can we come visit? So we did and the principal gave us a little class visitation. It was fine.
It just wasn't the amazing preschool he is in now. I already wrote this on my Yelp review, but at his preschool they have SPACE. Multiple spaces, even. Play structure, outdoor area, sandbox, garden, classroom, theater. It feels like a luxury compared to other places, yes. I WANT to save money, save Tim money. I am so grateful we're on the same page. I just can't, in my heart of hearts, do it to Desmond by downgrading his daily experience. We will stop going to that preschool when he graduates next year. My gut has got me this far (he started preschool during covid times - we had a YT video as a tour) so I don't doubt it now.

Turns out freeschool is NOT a no-brainer. It's a lose-sleep issue. For further context, he's been going to this preschool since he was 20 months old. This year was the first year he had no trouble transitioning to a new class - he saw his friends (who he cried about and missed during summer break, btw) and ran at them and hugged them and he pretty much does that every day. When I go to pick him up, 30 minutes before the school closes, he says "Mama, I want more time to play." How I could I possibly take him away from a place he's still reluctant to leave after EIGHT HOURS.
Sometimes I feel like the bar is set so high. I know his next school is not going to be a garden wonderland with three experienced teachers for the whole class. I have to manage my expectations.
It's one of those situations you imagine you know how you'll respond - until you're in it.
One of my mantras lately has been: You don't have to stress about this.
I don't have to, I choose to. And that goes for a whole swath of categories in my life.
I don't have to stress.
I don't have to respond.
I don't have to make space for anyone else.
We're no longer in the business of SHOULDs.

Today I learned that giraffes are haunted.
youtube
Skip to about 1:02 to hear giraffes ‘humming.’
By which I mean making a sound like a sinking ship in a movie that is thinking about buckling under the pressure.

Good afternoon! Happy Motivation Monday! I hope your week is off to a fantastic start! “Slow and steady wins the race” that quote has been on my mind a lot lately. I’m 27 years old but I made the choice to go back to school and get my college degree. Still working on opening up Affirmations Coffee while going to school. But I figured it would be good to get a degree still, I love learning, and I get to go to school for free! And it has taken me longer to actually start up, but I’ve slowly and steadily been working on it and have made progress! A lot from when I started several years ago. One of the reasons it’s taking so long is because I want to start up with no debt. Want to be able to make profit right away and not owe anybody any money. That all being said, I wanted to remind you that everybody wins at their own pace. The race is for our own personal success, not anyone else. Don’t worry about the speed you go, as long as you finish! You are awesome! God knows it, and so should you! #motivationMonday #affirmationscoffee #motivation #monday #mondaymotivation #school #freeschool #debtfree #movingforward #slowandsteady #slowandsteadywinstherace #tortoise #tortoiseandthehare #hare #race #success #entrepreneur #startup #smallbusiness #smallbiz #business #smallbusinessowner #affirmations #affirmation #coffeeshop #quote #ebook #author #writer

This beautiful little bird is a house sparrow. Worrying statistics have shown the house sparrow population in Europe has dropped by 247 million since the 1980s . . . 1 in every 6 birds - a net loss of 600 million breeding birds in total have disappeared in less than 4 decades. This also includes - Yellow Wagtails, 97 million fewer. Starlings, 75 million fewer. Skylarks, 68 million fewer. How devastating is this? . . . . . #freeschool #freeeducation #freelearning #learninginspiration #onlinecourses #educationalvideos #activitiesforchildren #artsforkids #homeschool #homeeducation #homelearning #edtech #familylearning #creativekids #creativeplay #learningisfun #playandlearn #scienceforkids #stemlearning #kidsartprojects #education #teacherideas #ecofriendlykids #childrenseducation #happychildren #studytime #studyinspiration #changetheworld #ecochildren #growthmindset (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/freeschoolco/p/CXMUsSOAl81/?utm_medium=tumblr

Наши дети учатся на семейном образовании в @cpso.hssc и не хотят идти в обычную школу! Почему? 1. Не надо ходить на уроки и нет видеонаблюдения во время экзаменов. 2. @cpso.hssc сотрудничает с проверенными аккредитованными школами Москвы 3. Полный порядок с документами: все справки получаем по почте и личное дело установленного образца. 4. Есть демоверсии экзаменов, которые очень похожи на экзамены. 5. Государственный аттестат московской школы. 6. Очень демократичные цены на обучение. ...а также #СКИДКИ на курсы и #розыгрыши бесплатного годового обучения А какое счастье для нас – быть рядом со своими детьми, видеть и поддерживать их таланты, давать им свободу, вместе открывать и познавать этот мир. Какая замечательная возможность – учиться и проходить аттестации на платформе @cpso.hssc в любое время, находясь в любой точке мира. Пусть же эта возможность будет у всех вас, дорогие друзья, кто хочет свободы и счастья своим детям! #мояисторияцпсо #семейноеобразование #freeschool (at Krasnodar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpNDDLF7cV/?utm_medium=tumblr
