I got sucked into going, but we ended up there about 15 minutes before close, so it was a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.

I am not sure why they have it for High School's. We went to our first kids but they just make you go through an hour and half version  of the day ( spend 10 minutes at each class, walk through all the halls and such) even make you stop by the cafeteria (mainly to make sure the school knows how to get your money)..

And this is the first year I missed the "MANDATORY BAND PARENT MEETING" - still waiting to see if my kids get kicked out of the band for us having to work..

So the pre-boxed school supply order was short about five of the items on the list.  Apparently it's been a bit of an issue, since several of the other kids were also missing items, and the supplier's online reviews for the past 30 days was 1 star from a slew of people.  They gave Mrs. Supe the "we'll call you back".  I told her to just file a credit card dispute.  They'll call back when the funds are withdrawn.

When my wife came home with the list of things to buy for Kevin's 2nd grade class, I told her to simply send a copy of our property tax bill with all of the frickin school taxes we pay highlighted.

After bitching them out, the company told Mrs. Supe to keep the existing supplies, and they will send out a full replacement box.

well at least both my kids will be getting some native american history lessons this week.  Minisnicks class is going Friday afternoon and the daycare always takes the preschoolers so snickette will get to see too.   The lake in our town is host to an annual Powwow.  The tribal organization renamed themselves this year, but it is 3 days of Powwow-ness for those midwestern tribal members that can't make the trip to the large western reservations for the really big powwows.  The erect teepees, music, dance, set up demonstrations for public education about Native American culture and history.

Our legislature voted to include a Native American component to all curriculum statewide. 

 

[Road Guy]

Make sure they include how Lincolns troops tried to slaughter them all after freeing the slaves

also so you should see my HS kids German Teacher this year... wow... must respect the cross fit I guess.....

 

[Supe]

Are they allowed to teach in yoga pants?

 

[leggo PE]

Yay, German! I wish I'd had the chance to take that in HS, but all my school offered were French and Spanish. I got my revenge when I got my second major in it in college!

 

[snickerd3]

We could choose from  french, spanish, latin or german.   I chose french.  Spanish probably would have been more useful.

Don't remember one word of Spanish after three years of taking it, so I'm declaring them all equally useless.

 

[Road Guy]

I took French because the French Teacher was better looking than the Spanish teacher.

All I recall is "Esquevousevelesmagazines?"

My Spanish teacher was from Spain.  She freaked after 9/11 happened and gave in her to-day notice.  Hopped a plane to Spain and never came back.

French and Spanish had the same teacher and she also established a "Franish" club for anyone in the classes. Only real perk of the club was that every year they organized a 10-day trip to Europe (that we had to pay for).  Started in Italy, through southern France, over to Barcelona, then on a train up to Paris. It was one of those "show up at the airport with your passport, everything is taken care of" type of trips. Every day was planned: where we went, hotels, transportation, and even several of the meals. The part that was cool was that about half the time we stayed with host families and had to speak the language. Since half of us spoke Spanish and the other half spoke French, we were paired up and had to translate for each other.

I went my Junior year and had a blast. Couldn't afford the trip the following year.

Freaked out over 9/11 then hopped on a plane, you say?

Nobody ever accused her of being too smart.

 

[Road Guy]

Wait so you were in HS during 9/11?

Yep.  I'm roughly YMZ's age.
