I am still here at my kids testing for the Benchmark exams. This year is not so bad, at least I do get internet access. Not that I expect it, but it is nice. I can get work done while they are testing. I mean I could leave and go somewhere but it is just easier to stay at the testing site.
So my son told me a few weeks ago that with his ASVAB scores in the range that they were, they were told that they were not expected to pass the entire course. Now that is a crappy thing to say to someone. It can either be a great motivator or set one up for failure. I see where they would want to do just that. Weed out the weak. I know that sounds bad, but this is tech school for the military and I am not sure I want someone that only half passes to be working on sensitive mechanical parts. But so far he has had two test in which he has scored 90% on. So as long as he keeps it up he has nothing to worry about. I have all the faith in world that he will do great.
Okay so I am addicted to the App store on my Mac. I am in there almost daily and I really try not downloading all these apps. But every once in a while I find one that is great. There is a Math one that I downloaded, we still haven't tried it. I did the flashbox one but I think I am going to like the new one better for spelling. It's Spellboard which lets me make quizzes with their spelling words. I enter the word and it will pronounce for the kids. Which will also help with knowing words and it will give a definition which is even better. We are going to start working on this later today after the test. I can get work out of them and they think they are playing a game.
So I just sit here for 5 hours trying to figure out what to do to keep me entertained and keep me awake. I am blogging to keep me awake and it is something I really need to do more often.
Well I am out for now. I need to work on the calendar, but will let you all know what I think of the two new apps that we got in the next few weeks. I want to see how well they work.
