In one of my decoding classes that I teach, we were studying how the g can make the j sound. We came across the word gypsy and not one of my students knew what that meant. As I tried to explain what it was I said that one day when I retired my husband and I would by gypsies, moving around from place to place. One of my students said, Mrs. Cochrane, you can't retire. Who would teach the kids how to read?
This is when I know the real value of choosing hard over easy. They know what we choose. It shows them exactly what they mean to us.
