The first years of school are critical in forming good work habits and attitudes. Erlyne Osburn, an elementary teacher with a background in both public and private schools, is here to help you do everything you can to enhance your child's education. Dear Sandy, Thank you for your very interesting letter. I can certainly understand your dilemma over whether or not to enroll your second child at the same school, although I'm not sure I can answer that question for you. I am happy to share some of my thoughts with you.
Experience is a great teacher.
We all learn lessons about life based on our experiences, both good and bad. Some lessons are quite predictable. For example, when I touch something that is too hot, I will feel a burning sensation and remove my hand immediately. I try to avoid touching hot things because I know what will happen and what it will feel like if I do it. That is a predictable outcome, one that I know will occur every time I touch something hot.
