Yes. I have seen students in the homeschool community thrive the most when they are part of a cohort, coop, or community. You know, co- something. Like, co-nnection.

Robert, I know that they still do in middle school. Yes, high school biology as well. And zoology class.

Well, the example we were talking about was joyful. It can be what it needs to be.

Julie Hoffman, EdD @hoffiecup.bsky.social · May 31

She’s talking about translanguaging as a joyful interchange as a fluid use of all communication tools, and the brilliance of children when they are able to do so. ❤️

Actually, yes, some people might experience a change to their eye color as they age. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen. When I was younger, my eyes were darker brown than they are now. Now, there are more specks of green and gold in them.
