So, if a financial crisis of the 17th century brought about Chasidism, what do you think the current recession will do to the Haredi sector (you don't have to answer that, I'm teasing).<BR/><BR/>All I know about 9th grade is Troy existed. My 9th grader does not let me into his life at all, just yells at me for trying.<BR/><BR/>My 6th grader leaves Boy Scout popcorn in our living room for over two weeks that he needs to deliver. He's pretty good about getting his homework done.<BR/><BR/>So I have to stick with knowing that s-h-i-p spells ship and not sss-hhh-i-p. Speaking of my first grader, we still haven't finished this evening's homework. I'm reading blog posts, and she's putting on a show, that no one is watching.Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763532437435602439.post-24979688334763009162008-11-17T14:24:00.000-08:002008-11-17T14:24:00.000-08:00The good news is that at least you don't have to w...The good news is that at least you don't have to worry about long division. You see, dividing fractions may be the same in both languages, but long division - not so much.<BR/><BR/>In Hebrew, the long division sign is a mirror image of its English counterpart. Don't ask me how it works. I tell my kids that if they want me to help them learn long division, they're going to have to do it left-to-right, like nature intended...<BR/>:-)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763532437435602439.post-44768472549569924532008-11-17T14:14:00.000-08:002008-11-17T14:14:00.000-08:00Oh, man, I totally feel your pain.

I KNOW EVERYTHING. And all of it is useless. <BR/>May I make a suggestion? That guy you married- for better, for worse, etc. Well, this is for worse.
