Piano Lessons



My daughter has just started piano lessons after almost three years of having fun with our electronic keyboard. I remember piano lessons as boring and tedious. I learned to play Mary had a Little Lamb and then stopped. I am so happy that she loves it so much. Even early on, the competitive factors come to play, however, with the kids in her class comparing the teachers grades after lesson two. They just can't help it. He was quite shocked at the competitiveness and plans to use more generic grading. We are very relaxed about it all. It makes me angry that Dr Nelson bribed the States to put in graded report cards in return for Commonwealth funds. Can you imagine reception kids being given an E for reading or writing. Kids are so different and what they do not need is to have their self esteem squished early in their education careers. Plenty of time for that later.

Right now it seems like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm
going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely
unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I
had to ask!
