A post on the different school philosophies (which we're trying to figure out as we decide whether to put LO in a 2's program) and a post on making everyday experiences and activities more educational. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee/page/2#post-1295561 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 10:25:40 +0000 mrs. bird 1295561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: i would love to see posts showing public schools from different countries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee/page/2#post-1295432 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:34:03 +0000 Ra 1295432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I love this idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295416 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:17:08 +0000 looch 1295416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think education is something that is very difficult to spread over a wide audience because not only do you have differences in philosophy/methodology, you have differences in states and countries. So, a post about kindergarten in one state doesn't apply to us, really.</p> <p>I am interested in 3 things I have not seen on the blog ( I could have missed them): bilingual school aged children, music education and parental supplementation activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295412 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 08:09:50 +0000 honeybear 1295412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My LO is a little older (preschool), so I mostly drop in now to look for education-type posts on the blog. I greatly enjoyed Mrs Cowgirl's posts on kindergarten and Mrs Train's posts on her awesome summer activities for her children (and would love to see more of both!). I liked reading Mrs Pen's thoughts on homeschooling, too. I seem to recall that she was planning on writing more about her experience, and I'm looking forward to that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295324 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 02:30:28 +0000 sunny 1295324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be interested on posts about educational activities we can do at home with our LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295321 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 01:57:00 +0000 Grace 1295321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure! The more variety the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295303 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 00:26:51 +0000 googly-eyes 1295303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love them to be honest. But I already have probably stronger than average (ie..they probably wont change) opinions on education so I don't even bother. Hope that doesn't offend anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295192 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:31:18 +0000 travelgirl1 1295192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, no, I don't really read them (apart from the Montessori posts). But perhaps it's because they're geared towards the American system and my LO will probably be educated in Europe. I can see why others might find them more interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295182 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:17:50 +0000 Andrea 1295182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them since I have an older LO. So I would want more, more, more! I know that most people on HB aren't at that stage yet, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295143 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 21:42:43 +0000 jhd 1295143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: sounds great!

I get excited about taking LO to the library, theatre, concerts, museums, etc but I don't know what is age appropriate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295019 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:26:14 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1295019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them :) I hope to write some activities/learning posts about babies and toddlers after the holidays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295010 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:19:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 1295010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My personal preference is to not read or research things that don't apply to me yet, so I appreciate that they exist (and you bet your bottom that I'll be looking for them next year) but I don't do more than skim them for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295006 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:12:45 +0000 Bao 1295006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy them I just don't comment since we are still in the Toddler stage...I'm sure soon I will have more to comment about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1295004 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:08:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 1295004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: this! Some of my favorite memories as a child were ones where I was learning without even realizing it. My dad used to take us to star parties (<a href="http://stardate.org/nightsky/star_parties" rel="nofollow">http://stardate.org/nightsky/star_parties</a>) when we were little, even though they were in the middle of a field and way past our bedtime. But I never forgot lying on a blanket in the middle of a wide open space on top of a hill with a bunch of other people, just looking up at the stars. I'm sure it was a total pain in the butt for my parents, but we had such a good time. There's more opportunities for things like this than I think most people realize (including myself!) It is nice to have a reminder every once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294975 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:51:31 +0000 mrs. bird 1294975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: that's such a great suggestion! It's so easy to get hung up in the idea that education takes place in a classroom- it takes place everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294952 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:37:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1294952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: @cmomma17: @mrs. bird: the posts on books and reading are awesome, because I really don't know that much about new kids' books!</p> <p>I also think it would be fun to have some posts on experiential learning, like nature walks, trips to a museum/zoo/botanical garden/aviary/aquarium, etc. What is age appropriate, how to use them to expand kids' horizons, etc. If someone were to be willing to write them, I bet it would make for a great piece!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294945 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:33:36 +0000 HabesBabe 1294945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh, I'm sure that posts like that get tons of pins... just not my style (see what I did there?) when it comes to blogs in general. I definitely mean to compliment the education posts, and I guess if I had to choose, I would insult the fashion posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294923 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:11:08 +0000 jhd 1294923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: @mrs. bird: I also love the posts about books &amp; reading! I LOVE to read &amp; so does DH. I want our kids to love books as much as we do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294919 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:08:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 1294919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I second this! A comparative "day in the life" at different kinds of schools would be SO useful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294916 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:07:10 +0000 mrbee 1294916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: not sure if that's a complisult, or just an insult haha! If you're referring to this post, it did get a decent number of pins... so posts like this do help us drive traffic to our other posts on topics like education and parenting.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/24/how-to-wear-everyday-trainers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/09/24/how-to-wear-everyday-trainers/</a></p> <p>It's a tricky balancing act... this thread is an effort to better navigate that balance on the blog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294898 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:57:13 +0000 HabesBabe 1294898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually like the education posts (and prefer them to some of the fluff, like the post on how to wear tennis shoes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294891 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:54:21 +0000 cmomma17 1294891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-like-to-see-more-posts-about-education-on-hellobee#post-1294776 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:57:54 +0000 immabeetoo 1294776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES.
