Michael Strong Socratic Experience There is a deep disconnect between parents and educators. Both point fingers at each other for all ails of society. It is refreshing to be involved with a school that truly feels like a partnership. I have the benefits of homeschooling with the expertise of educators. A win-win.

Anyone used the ROAR assessments from Stanford? I have a school district asking for feedback from someone who has used it. What a great option!

I admire trailblazers and trend setters. It is lonely work. I am glad that my son has ppl such as Linda Rockford that he can follow to break into his future path...

Needed a way to keep dosage high for 2 wiggly boys during small group reading at our summer language and literacy camp. Reader's Theater for the win! Thank you Vince Boley and Laura Patranella for the suggestion! This site has amazing resources! Aaron Grossman

Utah leads the U.S. in social mobility. At $9,095 per pupil—compared to New York’s $36,293—that achievement challenges the idea that money alone drives mobility. Why does it work? Mormon cultural practices: the LDS Church emphasizes agency and self-empowerment. Young

This. Add developmental language disorder (DLD) to your “be aware” list. DLD is 5X more common than autism. Ping Marilyn Muller dldandme.org/all-articles/d…

The boys on my son’s freshman football team were all talking about Charlie Kirk. 14 year olds are now bingeing his videos to see why he deserved to be assassinated. Turning Point indeed.

Social media is the town square. X allows a report for dehumanization. Time to shun indecent ppl from polite society. Laws aren’t going to fix this.

My 14 yo son is organizing lawn mowing and meals for our neighbor who is battling cancer and whose son got in a motorcycle accident. He works with 3 other ym to lead their age group at church. Leadership skills must be taught explicitly. This is for Charlie.

Eight YM made 6 freezer meals tonight at our house for our neighbors who are suffering from cancer, a motorcycle accident, and other health problems. They laughed and talked with a recently returned missionary. YM need mentors and purpose. For Charlie.

My son started football this year as a freshman. I found an All-State lineman alumni to teach him fundamentals that his coaches don’t have time to address. Some ppl pay for Netflix, fancy phones, endless plastic junk from Amazon. I pay for mentorship for my son. For Charlie.

Apparently, when this psycho ran his truck into the church building, members of the congregation ran to help him, assuming someone had accidentally crashed their car. And that’s when he opened fire on them… As they were in the act of trying to help him, he mowed them down and

This is the LDS Church membership that I know. Setting up a fundraiser for the family of the perpetrator. It is hard for non-believers to understand that this type of strength comes from a peace “which passeth all understanding”. Philippians 4:7

14 year old tells his story about saving his family at the LDS Church in Michigan. There is hope in darkness. The rising generation is capable of so much.

This is an example of why I am not upset about the Dept of Education cutting funding in research. Too many “experts” have lost the trust of parents by not keeping reading, writing, and math at the forefront of education priorities.

An unexpected benefit of socratic is that my son is stumbling through and learning to "adult". No one is forcing him to do anything. He is learning to manage a routine and calendar so that he gets the most of his educational opportunity rather than keeping his grades up.
