My Kid Learns More When He’s Home Sick Than at School
6th March 2013
We’re on day two now of my son’s stay at home with a creeping respiratory crud that’s been tearing through our piece of the world. I only shook it loose from my own lungs after a course of steroids. While he’s been home, aside from the fact that seven-year-olds bounce back a hell of a lot faster than forty-somethings, I’ve noticed that my kid sops up knowledge more quickly from a stack of books by his bed than he does from a lesson plan at his school.
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
