Study Group

Eighth grade midterms are Thursday and Friday. That means that this weekend, I have a house full of girls studying long hours. They have been assembled around our dining room table since 10 o'clock this morning studying for just the History test. There are a total of three mid-terms and so far they've spent 10 hours studying just for one. In one more hour they'll call it a day and reconvene at one o'clock tomorrow. We'll also host study group Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after school.

It amazes me how much more effective studying as a group is for these girls. No way would my daughter study for eleven hours straight by herself. Also, with a study group they each gain the perspective and understanding of the other.

Magic.
