I'm still playing. What's your excuse?

Kidding, I know you have bigger fish to fry. Porgy and Bess isn't the same without you. It's a terrible feeling knowing that I must be getting old, since I frequently find myself wishing the brass section were more well-behaved and mature during rehearsals. Goddamn kids.

Oh. Right. I should probably comment on the video too. That woman does a killer lip trill. Jealous.

This makes me miss playing. What about you, HaricotVert?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Homeschooling certainly isn't perfect - but then the quality of the teachers in most public schools isn't always shining either.

When we were homeschooling, we found that parents would use other homeschooling parents as "specialist" teachers. One dad, had a love of math and would take the kids for math. One mom was an art major etc etc.

The socialisation thing is always thrown out there - but I think it's crap. Why is throwing 30 kids of the same age into a room supervised by a single adult part of natural socialisation? It's more like Lord of the Flys, with a good chance of bullying and brutality. Traumatic incidents in an environment like this can shut kids' "socialness" down for years into their adulthood.

As humans we've adapted to accept that the status quo is "normal" and the right thing to do - but as the Porgy and Bess devil says ... it ain't necessarily sooo.

Even with good intentions, homeschooling limits the child. Generally, a home-schooled child will have 1 or 2 "teachers" who will not be trained in teaching methods, nor have expertise in as many areas as a school-full of actual teachers would, if they have any expertise at all.
The child's social interactions will be even more limited than their studies.

dont wanna be the shmock or anything, but technically, "Summer time" should be mentioned with Gershwins play "Porgy and Bess" or however you write it. In that play, "summertime" was one of the songs.

Oh, I saw this on tv. Have a hard time picturing her in Porgy and Bess, but what a voice! so totally forgiven
