Random Crap That I'm Not Even Going to Number

[celticivytiger]

Things I would rather do than sew:
1. Read a book.  Any book.
2. Write a new book. (I am already working on this.)
3. Surf the interwebs.
4. Curl up on the couch and be miserable, watching mindless shows (the kids passed their cold on to me).
5. Design a Team Jacob t-shirt (we're almost done!)
6. Think about cleaning the random clutter that's

It actually makes me kind of sad that you equate kindergarten with being thrown to the wolves. I adored kindergarten. My friend from next door was in the class with me and we had a glorious time together, and the teacher, Mrs. Graham, was one of my all-time favorites.

Ahh, well, take heart that I didn't mean your kindergarten--I hope no memories were tainted in the writing of this post. Mostly, I don't like the idea of full-day school for KidCelt. And I'm not a fan of No Child Left Behind.

It's all in the theoretical/experimental stages, anyway. So cherish those memories, L, cherish them!

I'm not a fan of No Child Left Behind.

I'd doubt the sanity and intelligence of anyone who was.

What age does school start? Kids are starting to go all day here as long as they are four by the end of December. So young. I don't think the first year is mandatory though and most kids are probably in daycare already anyway so parents save money.

Four to five here, depending on birthdays and whatnot. Technically, because KidCelt would be five by the end of the year, she could start in August.

The daycare savings is why our governor made full-day kindergarten mandatory. I think it should be optional, however, but I didn't realize that the legislation was going through until it was too late.
