Yes, it's vacation.. but...

So, I've been taking Connor to the college everyday at 9am to work with a tutor. She's been working with him on his Chinese and Math. What is really cool, is that even when she works with him on math, she makes him say all his numbers in Chinese!! She is young, probably 20, and she brings such enthusiasm to his lessons. Yesterday she brought all her paint brushes and ink, and they spent the lesson writing Chinese characters (which is damn near impossible to learn, just so you know). Anyway, I was compelled to write because I had to complete next year's IHIP. Looking at the form closely though, I was momentarily inspired; it is called Individualized Home Instruction Plan. How cool would it be if Every child had an individualized instruction plan?? Home or not.. I've often thought that the current model of an IEP (for special Ed. kids) would be a great idea for each and every child....
