Mornin' folkses!

Thanks for the suggestions for Becky's reading log! I'll make a list of them when I get home and get them at the bookstore. :-D

I'm strongly considering switching her to another school after this year.

When I walked her to class today, the principal was standing there with a bullhorn telling everyone to go to the basketball courts. It was chaotic!

When I got to the courts, other parents informed me that the kids who are dropped off before 8:20 am (class starts at 8:30am) are supposed to go to the basketball courts and wait for their teacher.

The teacher will pick up the kids from the basketball courts at 8:20am and walk them to class.

So, they think I'm going to leave my 8 year old daughter on the courts with every other grade (up to 8th) just because these particular teachers are too damn pampered to be in the classroom by 8 o'clock, they're crazy!!

So, now I am forced to drop her off at 8:20 the earliest, just to have the peace of mind that she will be going straight into her classroom and not standing outside in the sun mingling with 13+ year olds. Which means that I will be late to work everyday since I'm supposed to be at my desk at 8:30am.

Thank goodness my manager doesn't mind since I always put in overtime hours anyway.

FYI - the only adults I saw standing out there on the courts were parents. I did not see a single member of faculty out there supervising these kids. Scary!!

I asked about before-school care, only to be told that it lasts from 7:00am-8:00am, at which time they are brought out to the courts to be with the other kids.

I'm fuming!!
