Of course, I just get the joy of giving him a hug and kiss before dropping him off and heading to work.Tabby Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112093265167708229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-90313184880452876402009-09-08T17:16:21.839-07:002009-09-08T17:16:21.839-07:00Well, anonymous, to be perfectly honest we are hom...Well, anonymous, to be perfectly honest we are homeschooling of necessity rather than choice. The only option in our district is very bad (we already tried it for a year) and we aren't willing to let Nik be placed into what would be as you wrote, essentially "glorified babysitting." That being said, I do know there are many schools out there that do a fine job —no, a stellar job— with the chidlren they serve.<br /><br />Shannon, I imagine the day will come when my husband has a job that will give us the freedome to move again into a district with such a school. I can't see myself dong this for the long haul.<br /><br />But, hey, if you had told me 6 years ago that I'd be raising Nik...I would've thought you were smoking crack. So...who knows? ;-)Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-66841484567685690742009-09-08T17:08:26.666-07:002009-09-08T17:08:26.666-07:00Nick started CAVA today and this is the last of th...Nick started CAVA today and this is the last of the middle school yrs so he is going back to LAUSD next yr. I wish I had my freedom back but next yr it will happen.<br /><br />Tomorrow Matt goes. I have painting of walls and cleaning galore and tossing out stuff. I am going to prepare in Jan for next summer so I never have kids home for two full months - hate that camp cancelled and ruined their options. I have been too upset to write about it, but think I will since the camp director never sent any emails over summer, nothing at all so I am not going to be loyal after the way they treated us from 9 yrs of going to camp. I thought Leo took the bus?Bonnie sayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619518559264215095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-8146921193297010012009-09-08T16:54:04.188-07:002009-09-08T16:54:04.188-07:00SJ: You kept your kids out of school so they would...SJ: You kept your kids out of school so they wouldn't see the Obama speech?

Developmentally and academically these children are generally no where near grade level but public school districts place a grade on them so they can just shove them along in the system. Niks mom, I don't blame you for home schooling. The majority of public schools are just glorified babysitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-31660038107222238462009-09-08T10:30:53.580-07:002009-09-08T10:30:53.580-07:00Do you think school will be an option eventually? ...Do you think school will be an option eventually?
