Every day after she gets back from kindergarten, Jillian tells everyone in the house that it's time for "school". She is always the teacher, and whoever is available (or willing) is a student. In this photo, Bridget and Torion were students (along with Daddy). Amazingly, they are looking pretty attentive ... normally school with them looks much more chaotic. If you've never experienced Jillian's school, you should try it ... it is quite a treat. And kinda scary!
As the photo shows, Jillian keeps a scorecard for each student, adding points for good behavior and taking them away for being bad. It doesn't take much to get points taken away (saying anything, doing anything, etc.), so Bridget and Torion tend to be way in the hole all the time. When things get out of control with unruly students, then the "scary teacher" comes out in Jillian. We've taken video of it, but decided against posting it for fear of frightening young children (and even adults, for that matter). Jillian will resort to pointing and yelling "BE QUIET!!!!" and "I'M SICK OF IT!!!" Then she'll turn out the lights and order everyone to put their heads on their desks. By this time, everyone is spending recess "on the wall" because there have been a huge number of points taken away.
Other than these terrifying classroom episodes, Jillian will do some regular teaching of whatever comes to her mind.
