Two nights ago, I was reading "David Goes to School" by David Shannon to my own little kindergarten student.
We love David Shannon. "No David" is a pure example of a perfectly executed children's book. Even when my son was a baby he laughed out loud at the pictures and he appreciates it more every year.
But "David Goes to School?"
It doesn't work as well. It is -- dare I say it? -- dated.
Certainly some schools are more strict than others, but my son can't really relate to the school in the book, a place of drudgery and rules. There's not a single moment that seems joyful. My son LOVES school. At the end, when the teacher tells David he has to stay afterschool, my son shouted: "He gets to go to afterschool!" He thinks afterschool is cool and resents the fact that my job is flexible and I pick him up when school is out. He didn't even realize David was being punished.
Oh well. Maybe it works better for other kids!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
Well said.
