LOL!!!!
clogs mules and slides have never been a part of her foot attire - but zippers, velcro and flipflops have been!!! I admit, I'm guilty.
She came home from school shortly after school had started and said the teacher told her to have daddy work on teaching her how to tie her shoes. It just so happened the teacher called me that eveing about the moving her up to 2nd grade reading and I mentioned the shoelace thing. The teacher was funny, she told me Jax had told me the truth she was supposed to have daddy work on the shoelace issue - unfortunatley it just so happened that was the rare week hubby was out of town for work.
Again, not taking anything away from the homeschoolers, but I love this school and the district in general. They EXPECT parental involvement, they want it. The teachers call parents, they send notes home, the principal knows all the students names and those of the parents....it's wonderful.
But above all, they TEACH. We have a friend with a daughter that entered HS this year. Her parents gave her a choice of attending the private academy, or the local public HS, as did the parents of several of her friends. All of these straight A girls opted for the public HS because they didn't want to deal with elitist snobs and drugs they knew were rampant at the academy.
Did you post a pic of your daughter on the Family Table?

You are very blessed to have a good school district. It gives me hope that there may be good things yet to come to the Public Education System. After many of us homeschoolers pull out of public school we may lose sight of the changes that are happening. For that, I am happy to hear what's going on on the other side of the fence.
