I think you should start a blog of just The Spawn/ Zombie Robots ad the things he says and does! 🙂

College was much better as I was able to tailor my schedule and work in breaks. Why this isn’t appropriate for K-12 is a mystery to me.

One of the reasons BARRON’S LAST STAND is making such slow progress is because I’m having similar issues with my second born and his school. I wish his teachers and the school administrators would read this post

My son is just like me and his teachers are not prepared to deal with him either. Thanks for the laugh and for letting me know that I am not alone!

I would have scored genius if they tested me like that. I likely believe my own son would too. Luckily, i try my best to foster creativity along with order despite the “norm”. I hate that word btw, normal is banned from my vocabulary and that of my closest friends. Seriously, no joke. Its banned, with the threat to decapitation after imprisonment in my dungeon.

I am sending this to my own baby girl about her Zombie Robot. Hmmmm great conspiracy in education for conformity. This is funny but right on target. We introverts are clearly discriminated against, creatives aren’t necessarily welcomed, and schools seek total robotic behavior. So baby girl homeschools her kids. These posts are so helpful to all of us who are “different” and whose children and grandchildren are “different.” Intelligent, creative, introverted children do not fare well in the public schools because the structure is designed to produce uniform thought. Heaven help us. On a personal note, I’m so HAPPY to find out I’m not the only writer who seems peculiar to the rest of the world. But then, I really don’t care what the rest of the world thinks. Some folks like Survivor, some of us like BBT. Vive la difference! Thanks for the timely thoughts and sharing. You are a treasure… no matter how many villains you dispatch into Zombieland.

Describes my family almost perfectly (as we have two boys who are very different from each other as well as the rest of the world). I was able to game the testing, while also spending an inordinate amount of class time either “running errands for the teacher” or just chatting with the principal, just to keep me from disturbing the rest of the class.
As for singing a song from memory, I just have to share that my oldest knew all the words to Uncle John’s Band by 3 years old, and serenaded fellow grocery shoppers as long as they would hang around to listen! I miss those days, he’s in hs now and “screaming” his own lyrics.
