Academics Are Not Just Academics

around these parts.

Most of y’all know that my oldest son is dual enrolled at the local junior high and with me, at home. Home is where we work on reading, comprehension, writing, math, reasoning and other assorted academics. My son refers to these things that we do at home as BLASTED ACADEMICS.

So, I thought, just to be funny I would write “Blasted Academics” on the cover of the planner that lists the things that he must accomplish with me each day.

The boy must have the last word, it seems, if you read his scrawl here (thank you, God, for typing…where would my son be without it?):

P.S. I’m sick of academics!!

He tells me what he really feels, that one.
