The Homework Club ©
By
Michael Casey
Well as ever I didn’t have an idea to talk about today, I’d just read
a piece about George Clooney and Catch22, which could be my own life.
And yes my big daughter did say he’d got old, so George I can be your
fresher faced stand in, and only 248pounds too, that’s my day rate and
real weight. 18 x 14= 252 so I am actually 252pounds now. So you owe me 4
quid George. Other than that we are exactly the same.
Before a role George has to do his homework and look at my picture
and remind himself just how good and cool he could look if he looked
like me. He has to read a lot and get the feel and the look under the
skin, so he can become Michael Casey, ok just teasing George, but I do
have peanut butter on my shoes, only you cannot eat mine.
He has the original book to read, a film to watch, and he will sit
and talk around the topic, and loads and loads of stuff. If you catch
him in the toilets you can corner him with conversation. But make sure
you haven’t got peanut butter on your shoes.
Which brings me to today’s topic, The Homework Club. My big daughter
is here with me in the “study” as week 2 of her A Levels continue after
the weekend, so she is working hard. She listens to music to help her
along the path. As Tinnitus irritates me so much she plays it aloud so I
can share an inoculation to Tinnitus while she studies. I have my music
and she has hers, but at the exam time she is Queen so her music is
played and I share it, and try not to make any noise to distract her as
she studies. Which means no loud farting, or too much moaning because of
the pain. So I leave the room and slap on the Movelat and return. In
the “study” all manner of girls’ music choice plays as she studies,
Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Philosophy.
A former classmate of hers does play Drums, so I am lucky I am not
her dad, think of the noise. Meanwhile in our kitchen my small daughter
has invited a couple of friends to sample her cooking. Though that will
be a great experience, as my small daughter is turning into a little
chef, one day I hope Delia Smith meets her. My aunty Delia was the
kindest and fattest relative I had, and a great cook too, 17 stones and
only 5 feet tall. If my small daughter becomes like her then I’d be so
happy, though without all the weight. As for my small daughter’s
friends, they have to sing for their supper. They are Maths specialists,
so they are giving my daughter advice in exchange for their dinner. Due
to diet and religious observances they will be getting pasta, which I
don’t like as I think it’s too bland. So there will be no slops for me
to have.
I imagine there are kids up and down the country who need a bit of
friendly patient help in a variety of subjects. Teachers need to listen,
not just tick boxes. At my big daughter’ 6
th form college a
couple of teachers were let go, because they were not up to the job. The
job is teaching, which means is listening and being engaging. And
transferring knowledge from your head into the kids head. When I was an
Esol teacher I got, excellent, excellent and exemplary as my external
assessment,just so you know. And that’s why I think all my writing could
be used as a Teaching Aid, so Educational Publishers do get in touch
fast.
In Tom Sawyer, he’s made paint the fence, but he turns it around, and
gets the other kids pay him for the honour of painting the fence. We’ve
all seen it on tv, and now I speak of it I can actually remember
reading the book in class4 at Primary School. So it is with friends,
somebody is good at this or that,so you trade skills. At school age,
don’t pay through the nose to some stranger. Pay a quarter as much or
not at all, just get some nice food in the house and get your child’s
friends to help. Or in our case, or should I say Caseys my kids arrange
it for themselves, my job is to just stay out of the way, and let them
get on with it.
There is pride in knowledge, you have finally worked it out, you
understand, the shade has been lifted from the light. It really is easy,
once you know it is easy. You have lost your virginity of ignorance.
That’s why the Printing Press was loathed by the masters, because it
meant all of us, the common man could learn to read. And yes there is no
one more common than me, but I am the common denominator, which as you
all know if a Maths expression. If I can write then all of you in the 60
places that read me, in the many languages that read me, all of you can
write. All of you can do maths, all of you can do anything. Because as
we share bread at a table, we teach each other many things, and through
friendship and love we expand our knowledge. And if you have what you
think is peanut butter on your shoe, don’t taste it, just ask George
Clooney to do that for you.
