The Way ​Eye See It

I have found a learning style  to which I refuse to teach!

I have been teaching my sons......well, since birth....

AND I have been homeschooling them for 6 1/2 years.

As with most students, finding out what they truly have retained is like running in sand:

After finishing a great, visual, auditory, and tactile lesson, I ask
"So what year did this take place?"
"I don't know"
"Well, what was the purpose?"
"I don't know"
"Tell me the steps they took"
"uh, well....I can't remember all of them"

I gladly spend my free-time planning and re-planning to suit their educational needs.  I figure I will get an extra smiley face in teacher heaven.

Two weeks ago, on a short car trip around town, Max got bored in the backseat and started reading the OSHA manual.
It was actually quite entertaining hearing him read, in a very animated voice, the regulations on floor holes....or as he read it FLO HOES.


Picture

Two long weeks after he read this information, I pick him up from a week long mission trip.  He is telling me about serving in a mission house.
"....and mom, they weren't obeying the rules on floor holes.  They had open holes in the floor that didn't have covers, or barricades, or guardrails."


This from the kid that can't retain my repetitive lecture on

 "when you take your socks off, don't just toss them, take them to the laundry room"

complete with "repeat what I said", "now show me"

Picture

But apparently I need to say
It shall be unlawful to place, or cause, or permit to be placed, on any floor or roof or wall or other structure, haphazardly tossed sock(s).  

To facilitate cleaning, every floor, working place, passageway, areas of comfy sitting, and storage of random outdoor items shall be kept free from freely tossed sock(s).
Picture

So I guess Max's learning style is how the OSHA manual is written.......ACHHH, I refuse to write my lessons like federal regulations.
