Talking too much in class

Why you have to defend your education or qualifications to someone I dont understand…but I have to say good going there in regards to your education!!!
As to the question I posted to Sparkle…I am waiting to hear your motherly words of wisdom…or perhaps I should go out and get a manicure!!!

Actually, I was just thinking that myself. This is an internet forum and I don’t need to give anyone a full biography.

I think the Ignore function is in order!!! Thanks, Karin.

Sparkle’s point-of-view and the ensuing comments do raise a fundamental problem with posting on forums of any kind. Specifically, advice is tendered from people about whom we ONLY know what they choose to tell us. So anyone can tell us anything about themselves and we have no way of knowing whether what someone says (or posts) is true or not. (And there is a lot that we don’t know, that might be significant, if they don’t tell us.)

In real life we have ways of vetting that self-revealed information. Yet even in real life we can be duped by others who inflate their credentials or experience or knowledge. (How many times do you read about a public official who is forced out for lying about their resume or education?) In cyber space, we have fewer ways to assess what others tell us.

So especially when someone is giving advice, the recipient needs to weigh the advice and the person giving it.:twocents: (Just common “cents”.)

What I think is particularly funny about the direction this thread has gone is considering we’re talking about a chatterbox six-year-old!!! And some posters are worried about who is “qualified” to respond.

I’m sure both parents AND professionals have seen and dealt with situations that are much more challenging.

Personally, I wouldn’t be above asking another six-year-old what he or she thinks is the best motivation to stay on task during class. Do they have children of their own? No. Do they have any higher education? No. But they still have a perspective worth considering, IMO, given that they have the challenge of staying on task in a classroom environment every day.

Furthermore, I think anyone who asks for opinions on an internet message board takes any reply for what it’s worth–free.

hmmm, not sure I’d be up for letting my 6 yr old dictate the remedy to his situation. Just me thinking…I know my kids pretty darn well.

I didn’t say anything about allowing a six year old to dictate a solution.

I merely said it would be interesting to hear what they have to say.

I am so finished with this thread!!!

Unbelievable.

Good luck, Wisdom!
