No problem with the anger the OP showed towards home-schooling?
Posted By: home-schooler on 2005-11-15
In Reply to: You have some real anger issues! - Wow!
I didn't spew venom, only pointed out the obvious, kids are kids are kids. Anybody who thinks that people home-school their children to keep them away from "bad kids" is greatly mistaken. The minority may be for that reason. The majority have real reasons for their conviction to home-school.
Some people choose to home-school because their kids are the bad kids. Some people are forced into home-schooling bad kids by the public schools who can't handle them. It does happen, I've personally witnessed a friend being put through exactly that.
But, thanks for pointing out my venom (it was not intended as such) and thanks for the prayers.

Home Schooling!!!
I am currently home schooling my son via the interent. I am not sure who loves it more him or me. He is a link to the main school page if you like to look into it.

Home schooling
I home school my son via the interent and it is great!!! He still has friends. School is not the only way to make friends there is church, sports, etc. My son has been diagnosed Ped. Bipolar and is a very, very smart child and the school stystem was only holding him back.
Home schooling is not for every child, but it has been working out GREAT for my child
Home Schooling
I have one daughter in college studying to be a teacher. I have one daghter who home schools her 6 and 9 y/o. The 6 y/o is in the first grade. He reads on a 3rd grade level. The 9 y/o reads and does math on an 8th grade level. They both play soccer and basketball, dance classes, swimming, library days. It takes discipline on YOUR part to make a routine. Her county has a very large home schooling network. They take field trips. This may not seem like much to any of you, but my daughter was a "C" student, more interested in makeup and Vanderbilt jeans, clothes, boys, etc., etc. She was made to wear designer diapers. I was very skeptical when I found out the plan, but no longer. I am amazed at what the home schoolers are doing. My great-grandson is also 6 and does NOT even know his alphabet and is just now learning how to print his name. He does not know his address or phone #. Colleges are actively recruiting home schoolers because they make better students, fit into college life better, and get along better in the college atmosphere. Check out your local home school organization - they can get you started on planning for next year. You'll have plenty of help and good luck.
Home Schooling
I have 7 grandchildren, all my daughter's, and she's home schooled all of them. The oldest will have her Masters soon. The next 3 oldest are in college. The next 2 are at home with mom, and the youngest is in private school. He has Down syndrome. I'm so proud of all of them. They're doing great, and it's primarily because of home schooling.
Home Schooling Via the internet
That is what I love about home schooling my son via the internet. We have an office here in town and they have 2 days a week where you can bring your child in if they need help or just to be able to work around and meet the other kids in the area. Here is the link to our local chapter and below that is the link to the main company.

So much for the benefits of home-schooling and keeping your kids away from those bad, bad kids who attend regular school!
OK, I respect you home schooling, but when my
daughter was in high school, a very good school, most of the teachers had advanced degrees from excellent universities. Her chemistry teacher had a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. How many parents have those kinds of credentials?
Oh, by the way, it was a public school.
showed it where?
x
They just showed it about 5 minutes ago
They said Ryan gave the wrong number to punch when people called in and that they also heard he'd had two offers from well-known bands, including Van Halen.
last nite on TV they showed a psychic's....sm
I didn't think it was Karr, UNTIL they showed on CNN last night a picture/drawing from a psychic from 1996-1997 and they held the drawing up next to Karr's picture last night and they look identical.
Too bad it took 10 years to bust this case open
I think it is kind of odd that this survey showed
 posts were on here this morning telling people they'd pay $5.00 for every e-mail address you sell them. I'd be very careful when you are dropping your e-mail address. The survey does not seem to have any company name or anyone's name attached to it for that matter.
No, it just showed up. Administrator must be on break.
.
Argh...I was there for awhile and no one showed up
so I left. Please post a new time so I can join. I was really looking forward to it. Tonight works for me.
During the Packers game they showed
current temperatures around the world. Greenland, Moscow, Alaska were all around 20 degrees. In Greenbay, WI, it was -2 degrees! Funny.
Update. MRI was normal hip. only showed
ovarian cysts for which I now have to go see the gynecologist.
Ray Nagin is the one who showed true compassion
Tell it like it is..Thank you. So much ragging on the Mayor of New Orleans, please, point the finger where it belongs. This disaster could not have been taken care of by local govt alone. We needed the feds to step in. The president was on the TV two days before the hurricane warning it was gonna be a bad one. Well, if we all knew that, there should have been planes and ships already loaded up and ready to move down to the gulf the minute the storm abated. If anyone is showing true compassion, it is Rag Nagin. If you ask me, FEMA did not do it's job.
I stopped my HRT when studies showed it did not prevent osteoporosis. sm
I have osteoporosis. The govt halted a study on HRT as the women involved had more heart problems than those on the placebo. Too scary for me. In addition, my hair was falling out excessively. Since I have been off it, my hair is back to normal, but the flashes have come back. Even more repulsive to me was when I found out that the HRT I was on came from the urine of pregnant mares that were impregnated just to get the HRT ingredients, then the colts were destroyed. No way. There are over-the-counter remedies for hot flashes, but now they claim that black cohosh causes liver cirrhosis. So, I'm not taking anything. 
Excuse me, but the results that I got back this morning that showed that I got wrong were
Sentences that she said were not fragmented, were. Sentences that she said were complete were run on. And, one sentence CLEARLY required comma usage and she said I was wrong.
I am one of those MTs who knows what she is doing and has done well over the last 20 years. The only reason I am applying for work is because I was laid off with several others right before Christmas. I take pride in saying that I know what I am doing!
what schooling
Been at this since late 1970s.
Schooling
How do you tell someone who is looking at schools that they should only go with the top 3? I learned the hardway and I am enrolled in M-Tec currently. I am sure you can get jobs from other schools but I personally would like the opportunity for the job placement.
Schooling for MT
Can you recommend the best online school for becoming an MT?
I don't think schooling has anything to do with it.
I had on-the-job training many years ago and I have no problem getting jobs. It's how much you know, not the schooling. If you have only been transcribing a few specialties or can do acute care but not OPs, cardiology, etc, it might limit you as to jobs.
what difference in schooling for PA's?
vs. MD's? What can they NOT do?
I agree on schooling
If you don't go with the top 3 you are likely to not find a job. That is something a lot of people find out too late, unfortunately.
I'm a Career Step graduate and had my job within 24 hours. I couldn't have done that without quality training.
You were not stunted in your schooling, were you?
Again, if you do not understand, maybe taking a brush up course would give you some assistance in what the poster meant, was trying to do. This is why so many people are upset about this and you, as well, do not have any scruples because you are out to get any and all that you can regardless of the next person. You have no thought for your peers. Shame on you, also.
About 670 first day, no schooling, no training, no
expander. That was gross line though.
You can't be a decent MT without the right schooling! I don't care what you say.
Experience means more than schooling... sm
I took typing in high school, became a nurse, dabbled in MT for a doc, and have now been an MT off and on for 30 years, steadily for the last 10. No one ever asked me if I went to an MT school. I took the acute care, basic 4 tests and passed. It is what you know and where your have worked that matters. Maybe you need help with your resume to present yourself in the best possible light.
Check out my post above about schooling and what I think is happening. sm
Like I said, newbies cannot do VR effectively. They just don't have the experience. They need to do about 5,000 clinic and/or acute care MTs with extensive notes, books, the ability to do their own research via google, etc., in order to do VR.
I give them information for schooling and this website
and I never hear anything else from them again. I guess once they figure out how much work is involved, they change their mind. I agree that most people think it is a job where we sit here and do nothing. Most of us can make good money, but it is a lot harder than most people think.
First, don't say anything to her in anger - sm
Let it simmer, give yourself a few days to think about what you want to convey to your MIL AND your son, then call her over for a sit down.
I have had to do this more than once with my MIL. Scary for sure the first time, irritating the second, and third time was okay. Hopefully there won't be a fourth.
Although my situations were not quite the same, the same resolution could work for you.
AFTER you calm down, and I know this is hard to swallow, make a list of the parenting rules that YOU lay down and expect to be followed by everyone, including grandma.
Next, explain your reasoning behind those rules.
Explain how upset you were that those rules were not enforced by someone you trusted with your children and how it makes you hesitant to leave her with that responsibility again. They are YOUR children. Hers to love but yours to teach and raise to be responsible adults.
Explain to her that her role as a grandparent is just as important as a parent but you have the ultimate responsibility of making sure that your children grow up to respect authority and any time she goes against your wishes, that it teaching them that your word does not matter in the end.
Once you clear the air with your MIL. Sit your kids down and have the same chat.
I have always told my kids that if they get into ANY kind of trouble, minor or major, I had better hear it from THEIR mouths FIRST. If I have to hear about it from someone else, the $1*% is gonna hit the fan!
Punishment will doled out accordingly but I gaurantee that the punishment will be much more severe if I hear about anything second hand. PERIOD!
By the way... grandma is still sometimes difficult to get through to on the parenting thing but... I promise you that my kids DO tell me if they are in trouble. Even for things they really aren't in trouble for but aren't sure. They tell me EVERYTHING.
Good luck Sista!
Even if they anger you.....sm
try to keep your cool and don't respond. If they know they're getting a rise out of you, they'll just keep coming back. Ignore them. If they make you mad, you've let them win.
I have so much anger in me towards the
people on this board I am going to unleash it on you guys.
Why the anger?
You didn't mention that you were waiting a year but we were supposed to know that?
You were given advice about what to do and how to go about doing it. What more do you want?
What anger?
I don't see any anger in her post . . . she even put a smiley! No YELLING or anything. It seems she is just looking for advice.
Why are you angry?
ESL Anger
Yes, I relate. When I get really angry I have a margarita! I can't do that too often because basically I am a nondrinker. This ESL anger comes on for me every day and I would be an alcoholic, so I kick back in my chair and imagine what the reports would look like if I typed them "verbatim" - this in turn cracks me up and I laugh. I guess the bottom line is to try to find a way to laugh, because that is all you can do. Sometimes I give them names (ESLs). My favorite one is the one that sounds like that guy from Taxi, remember Andy? Swear I have one who sounds just like that. I have others as bad or worse. I also try to imagine what they look like and dress them up in strange costumes sometimes. If all that fails, run a mile. I did that once and it almost killed me, so now I just go to my ruminations and nicknames. See what happens when we are anal retentive about blanks? I have one that I have a fantasy of driving over to his hospital and luring him onto a boat headed back to his native country! He is screaming for help while I wave joyfully from the pier.
anger
I think I agree. I haven't even started working and I find this great website where I can talk to new people (MTs)and get some feedback but lately everything I have been reading is people lashing out! I am getting a little discouraged with this site.
anger
That was a little harsh wouldn't you say? Unless you've been there then don't judge!
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I also believe their country pays for their schooling too. sm
I am not sure about their residencies, whether they do them in the US or their own country, but I have also heard it is very easy and very short period to become a doctor in another countries. It scares me more about them not knowing what to do if they have very little training compared to ours. I would flat out refuse to have a foreign doctor work on me!! To the lay Americans though, they cannot understand medical language period so I think they don't understand anyway whether it is English or another language.
There is so much anger in all parts of the (sm)
transcription community, that I'm seriously surprised that it hasn't resulted in something really terrible.
Talk about anger
Nan didn't sound angry at all to me. It was a very thoughtful, well written post. You sound like you got up on the wrong side of the bed.
BTW, just because someone has the title of QA doesn't mean they are qualified for the job. Of the last 9 "feedback" reports I have received from QA, I have a challenge on 8 of them!!
anger management
I really think that humor is a good tool for anger management! Friends will send some really funny emails that will just crack me up even when I am in the worst mood ever, it always helps...or sometimes just going for a good run to burn off some steam? There are a lot of things, also I like to look up at the big guy and ask for some help there, that helps me quite abit!!
anger management
I love it!!! What a fun game!
Anger management
Just get away and go out for a brisk walk and possibly a swim in a pool if one is available. Go for a hike in the woods. I can sympathize with you. We do not have an easy job and it can really test our metal at times.
look, i understand our anger, but not
where it is directed. The workers don't deserve our wrath! it's the companies that send our work abroad, it's the clients that just want the bottom price, it's the government policy that makes it lucrative for same. Those MTs are just like yourself, trying to make a living. If the tables were turned, would you decline a job saying, "no, i'm not going to take it away from the MTs across the pond"...of course not. At the MT level, we're just all trying to keep our heads above water.
YES, it's true, funding for schooling to replace outsourced jobs...sm
my husband is a machinist (was a machinist) in Illinois where manufacturing took a hard hit. They sent home a piece of paper with his pink slip about getting funding for schooling if the company was identified as having lost jobs due to overseas outsourcing. His company was too small to qualify but I went on the list and found many companies in the Chicago area that qualified. I even posted the info on the boards here about six months ago.
You have some real anger issues!
I don't think the post called for the venom of your answer. You must be quite an angry person. I will pray for you.
Wow! Lots of anger here..am I on the right board?...
I could swear this is the "other" board. (Not to be mentioned or I will be deleted from here.)
I can only guess which company you work for, but maybe you should be blaming the company instead of the MTs. I am an SE (IC), and I work a pretty steady schedule, as do a lot of SEs. There has been a chronic lack of work at my company recently, but I KNOW my company has lost huge accounts lately, and has shifted those MTs to other accounts (yours and mine maybe?) This spreads the work too thin. My company has also, possibly, overhired lately, which also spreads the work too thin.
I sat from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. yesterday with only 10 reports. Luckily, at 6 p.m., Dr. transcribemeifyoucanski started showing up. Got three of him in a row and was starting to get touchy and depressed when, after 8:30 (my usual quitting time is 8p.m.), here comes Dr. Iamdifficultalsobutdrtranscribemeifyoucanskimakesmelookgood came along, so I kept pushing on until there were no more (8 in all, all the above doctor). Still did not get in my usual line count, but came within shooting distance.
I am not blaming the other MTs for my lack of work, and not even blaming the company entirely. After all, when they lost those accounts, they COULD have just laid off their MTs. I wouldn't want that if it was MY account they had lost! I don't even know if my lack of good dictators lately is the result of cherry picking or voice recognition. My good dictators have, for the most part, vanished.
Such anger! Clearly uneducated and frustrated.
accept responsibility or you're going to be pointing fingers into thin air for years to come.
You truly have some anger problems. Maybe you should look into medication for yourself.

You really need some counseling and anger management
tsk, tsk, tsk
