best kids tri bike image
Q. It seems as though teachers in the US -I don't know about other places- don't really TEACH, namely, give lessons. I know my teachers give me a textbook, then photocopy worksheets created by the textbook's manufacturer, hand them out, then correct them using the teacher's manual. They're getting paid to do that? One of my teachers is so stupid, she pronounces "Tokubei" as "tuk-bee"!
Answer
Sometimes it depends on what a school or a district requires a teacher to do. Some are not allowed to stray from the curriculum (meaning the text) without threat of being fired for "not teaching the curriculum."
I know of a teacher who once, during an observation, mentioned to second graders that "tri" was from the ancient Latin language, that it meant "3", and was found in words like "Tricycle," which is a 3 wheel bike. The teacher then asked the kids if they could come up with other words with "tri" in them. The kids loved it. They were engaged, they came up with great words, etc.
The teacher was "written up" for several things, including not teaching the specified curriculum, [apparently it's okay to teach word families as long as they are of the cat-hat-rat sort, but not if they make the kids think] teaching "inappropriate material" because how could 7 and 8 year olds possibly understand Latin, and being "out of touch with student needs."
It is not always the teacher who is at fault if the curriculum is stagnant! By the way, this teacher left public school for private school; much less money, but more intellectual honesty and freedom.

Answer
Fort Wilderness Campgrounds at Walt Disney world.
Check out this link: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/Resorts/ftwild.htm
as well as the DISBOARDS.com - there is a specific forum for Ft.Wilderness with more info.
Marina where you can rent:
Canoes, kayaks, sailboats, pedal boats, pontoon boats, water mice or go water-skiing.
2 Large pools with slides
2 arcades and playground areas for children as well.
2 lighted tennis courts
Tri-Circle-D Ranch - horseback riding, carriage rides, petting zoo.
Chip & Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long is held nightly with a 7:30 fire lighting; marshmallows can be toasted over the campfires. . It features a sing-along, Disney movies on outdoor theater.
3 Restaurants, 2 trading posts, all inside the resort.
So much to do you would even need to go to parks. You could also pool hop to all other resort pools with free disney transportation, and visit Downtown Disney / Marketplace as well. BEST of all they allow DOGs in certain loops, and it's very reasonable for the amount of amenities & cleanliness WDW provides. GOOD LUCK.
