Day 42 - Pro Scribe, Con Text
For an English teacher (lapsed), Bren doesn't seem overly concerned about undermining Cora's communication potential. At this rate, Cora will actually ROFL when she's expected to write complete sentences, and probably tell her teacher to STFU when punctuation flaws are pointed out. It wouldn't surprise me if Cliff Notes is rechristened TL;DR. Fortunately, I'm stemming the tide by encouraging ancient techniques of writing words onto paper. Since Cora's too young to actually write anything, I just let her chew on pencils. It's okay, they're graphite.

Mmmm, pencils. I had many students that loved to chew on pencils and eat eracers. Cell phones just can not be as satisfying. They are useful in creating new spellings and new words, however. Write on, Cora!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what "STFU" means. TLDR? Are you making these up? I am proud to say that for a very long time, I thought "LOL" stood for "lots of love."
ReplyDeleteBeing a Jersey girl, I know what STFU means; I know that sweet Cora will never even think it! I need help figuring out TL;DR. Maybe it's "T L, a wink-laugh, + R"? I'm sure you can coerce it out of Neil with a promise of food.
