Would anyone take your 0-5 years of age child to a learning/fun center for children next to a health center?
Concerned mom asked:
If yes, why and if no why. What would be your concerns if you answered no. Also, would you actually take your child to a learning/fun center, where classes are offered for children and their parents?

Does the Maptest have anything really to do w/ the child’s learning?
sherry c asked:
Is the MAPTEST LIKE THE PACT- for the benefit of the schools? If the child does well on a certain section of the test, they can’t get tutoring after school if they need it in the next grade. And vice versa. Would I be wrong to tell my child to not do too well, so that she could ge tutoring the next year in certain areas? That wouldn’t go for the tests and stuff for the classes, only for the standardized tests?

Is it normal for a child learning to write to form his letters from right to left?
Tracey M asked:
My son is 4 years old and learning to write his name, but instead of starting with the 1st letter of his name, he starts with the last and works his way back to the first letter. Also, instead of forming his letters from left to right, he starts on the right. The letters are formed very well and are readable, but I’m worried that this way of writing is indicative of some problem, and if I should try to train him to write in the normal way.

Anyone out there practice unschooling or child-led learning?
JAB asked:
I am planning on using this philosophy for my child’s education – in fact we already do so. She will not be attending school. I am looking for comments from people who are familiar with this philosophy and who have practiced it. Please, do not comment unless you are familiar and/or experienced with this type of homeschooling.
