Today, our daughter brought us a form to fill out. It said:
“The ethnic codes for the State Department of Education for [our state] have changed. If you wish to change your child’s ethnic code, please indicate this information by checking one of the boxes below.” I wrote on the form: "Can we actually do this?" We think daughter two should be Hawaiian/Pacific Islander this year. Next year, she can be Latino IF she passes her Latin I class this year.
I received a call from the office telling me since I did not choose my child's ethnic catagory that they were mandated to choose it. I said have a blast....I refuse to particpate.
I think I would change it to French that way when they whine they will have an excuse
