So…I’m in deep shi-well with my daughter.  She has a science test tomorrow with definitions that have to be memorized.  It is almost 8:30 and she doesn’t know most of them.  She’s been waiting on my “help” for studying.  How do you help a child memorize definitions?  Seriously.  I had to just sit and read them over and over in my head until I knew them.  I had maybe little tricks I used to help me remember.  Other than that…what can I do to help my own child memorize??

Now she’s mad at me.  It’s late, she’s tired, she is still studying, and I don’t know what to do to help her.  It has suddenly become all MY fault that she doesn’t know her definitions.

I hate school.
