If you've seen Temple Grandin you know the quote. It makes me laugh every time.
Anyhow, I just got a call late last night from Kylee's school. She will now be going to school every single day, full day!!!!! She was only going to school mostly twice a week full day and maybe twice on Mondays through the month. This has not only been an issue with me, but with all the other parents as well. Students arent learning and retaining what they have learned the week before because its been 4 or 5 days since they last went to school. Its been such a mess. My whole frustration with this system was that Kylee is so smart and ready for full day school, but wasnt getting enough time learning at home. We do homework and make her read and write her letters, but I am not a teacher, nor did i go to school to be a teacher.
I truly believe and love the public school system, but the government here doesnt think schools need money, so they make the budget super small and we are forced to make cuts like this. Thank goodness for all the moms raising a fuss about this. Now they are starting full day school!!!! Hurray!!!!
PTL!! I'm so glad for her(and you!) I'm sure it will be good for all of you!
