The WORST family tree project story I've heard is at a Mito support group I went to- they took the kids to another room and had them make family trees, but told them to "X out" any family member who had died. AWFUL.

She must have really been confused in 8th grade biology learning about dominant and submissive genes. Wow. Kudos to you for not calling her an idiot on the spot!Reagan and Trevor's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025330013654842897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-6359896636940061082012-11-15T09:40:46.850-05:002012-11-15T09:40:46.850-05:00I admire you for being so calm.

We're having problems with the 7th graders' English teacher and her responses show me she just doesn't get it and I'm not sure ever will.<br /><br />I think the way you are handling your family tree is perfect. The kids in our family have struggled with how to put together projects like this. Sometimes Molly makes us her family and ignores her sisters and parents and other times she doesn't include us and only her parents and sisters. Liam never really knows what to do...are the girls his sisters or cousins? If he includes Emma and Molly does he include his other cousins that he loves sooo much. It's complicated.<br /><br />The busywork lesson made me chuckle :)<br /><br />Great posts this month!!Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162890081910497200noreply@blogger.com
