Jodi Arias Trial Part 6, starting with JM Rebuttal April 16

[bas71873]

No, I haven't heard of those places. I feel for you, I did lousy in math. I really wanted to learn, just could not. Does she connect with the tutor? Sometimes it can all boil down to explaining. Does she learn if it is connected as being fun? Just trying to shoot some ideas at you. Later on I finally figured out that if I could get someone to help me visualize something then I got it.

totally agree with above...if you see no change as a result of the tutor they just may not be a good choice for your child...ask around locally....so many great teachers provide tutoring...and its great when its a local teacher that knows the specifics to the childs curriculum.....sometimes its just the style of teaching/learning....best of luck

She tutors with her teacher right now which is fine, but I just need something different for the summer. Worksheets and whatever else they are doing, just isnt' doing it. She's not an abstract/analytical thinker at all. She can memorize like nobody's business, but thinking out of the box just is not her thing. I hear this Mathnasium place uses manipulatives, real life stuff, fun games, etc, so I may give them a try. I'm willing to try anything. The concepts are just not clicking with her and I lay some of the blame on the riduclous VA curriculum and the insane standardized testing that's required. We've entered that period in the school year now and teaching has pretty much ceased. Time to start teaching to the test

Hang in there, you just need to find what it is that makes her tick to learn.

Somehow I knew there would be.

I felt your pain. I've had two go thru chesterfield schools and all those testing. I've always had a problem because no teachers teach how to study to the kids. I can't wait until ds graduates this June then no more school. He hasn't had homework for two years in high school. No papers, no projects, nothing and he's going for the advanced degree. He just called me he dropped and broke the screen on his iphone which dh did not get insurance on from verizon.

Not that this makes the broken iPhone any better, but our experience with Verizon insurance is that it is not worth the money. After all of those months paying for insurance, you still have to pay $50 for a refurbished phone- we have done this twice and they were both pieces of junk. We now go,without insurance and try to keep at least one upgrade on our plan for emergencies (they will let u swap from another line on the same plan). It has worked much better for us. I've read that you can replace the screen for about $100...

That's frightening. All I did in college was write papers. So sad. I have a girlfriend that teaches high school marketing and she said she has very few that can put together a project or a paper. Really frustrating!

Jodi has her glasses hanging off her nose again - why not just take them off! It's not like she needs them for close-up anyway.

My step dad teaches high school and had someone last year who could not read- he had been in a different local school system, he wasn't ESL or anything else. He just got through some how?!?

she likely does not need them at all....its the Ja SHOW that came into play when she was caught in her lies and charged....Did you ever notice ANY photos of her in her relationship with T with glasses on?? NOPE!

Thanks. I've joked all year that I'm going to be a full blown alcoholic by the time June 13th rolls around. So ready to put 4th grade behind us.

Seems like the whole DT is disconnected today.

I was in another dimension when I thought we would be hearing closing arguments by the end of this week......

I have just taken a Vicodin to deal with a kidney stone invading my body at the moment, so type big if something good happens. I'm thinking I should start to get FOGGY any time now.

I hope the Vicodin takes the pain away and the stone passes quickly. Sending good thoughts your way

Juan singles out a 5 gallon gas can purchase and is going through each of the terminals checking for returns of it. #JodiArias

I think JM handled the questioning of the WM employee perfectly. He went register by register and covered all the bases. I think the DT knows they have no way to refute this issue, so it's best just to get the witness off the stand and move on.

Judge is here, counsel is at the bench. No jury present yet.

I was thinking at some point in time there was testimony (maybe by her) that she had been tested while incarcerated and given glasses for being near-sighted.

 

[a1tinkfans]

whatever ja is doing...writing or drawing....
she is TALKING to herself...
Its likely she is the only one that wants to hear what she has to say

Sometimes it sure feels that way, don't it?

Yes, she said she put someone else's on and didn't realize she could see the world so clearly (or something like that).

I'd pay to see that.
