She is in class 12 and has decided the best way to revise is to explain reactions to someone who knows nothing. That someone is me, at dinner, most days. I am an eye doctor and last did chemistry in 1987. Tonight I correctly guessed what happens to a benzene ring. She was more surprised than proud. I am taking the win.
mine's 8 and does this with spelling. i'm given a word, i spell it, and she says 'hmm' like a teacher who's disappointed but not surprised. i've started getting some wrong on purpose because she enjoys it so much
That 'hmm' does not go away, I can tell you. At 17 it comes with a raised eyebrow. Getting some wrong on purpose is wise. I have not needed to try.

My son is 9 and his version is reading aloud to me. His teacher said explaining things out loud helps him, so the evening lecture on volcanoes is now officially part of homework. I know more about lava than I ever planned to.
Keep going
