Kids of EB

Yeah, well, I think a lot of that superstardom is painted on and glitterfied.

what great powers of observation you have, we'll give you a trophy for that and everyone else will get a trophy too so as not to be left out.

Seriously, I honestly thought reading in K was the norm now. I'm not trying to say my kid is smarter than anyone else's. Edit: Neither of mine are considered outstanding students, just average.

not here.  Reading in K is parent led.  They sent home books everynight for parents to read to the kid.  Of the 19 in minisnicks class last year maybe 5 were put in AR program which again was parent led.  They sent a second book home that the kid had to read, some books stayed at home for a week others were back the next day.  

Although the teacher did start AR on Friday, thank heavens.  Although there will be practice in class as well as at home.  The school district just bought into a new super heavy phonics program for first grade.  I definitely didn't learn that way.  Marking up works with all those accent marks

so would the following be sort of a double reverse discrimination?  On friday minisnick wanted to get hot lunch at school.  So instead of first come, first serve, the school operates under the following procedures:

1.  Free and reduced lunch kids get to go first.

2.  Then everyone else lines up alphabetically by classroom.

so he was stuck at the end of the line because we are paying full price, then the end of that line since our last name starts with "W"   Same rules apply if he just wants milk with lunch.  so by the time he got his lunch he had less than 10 minutes to eat.  being a slow eater, he ate his fruit and veg and the milk but ran out of time before getting to the entree, which was the whole point of ordering hot lunch that day.

You should file a complaint and write an "open letter" to the lunch lady.

Forget "reverse" discrimination.  The school is segregating students by economic status.  That's outright discrimination.

 

[Supe]

F*ck the lunch lady, I'd have the local news in the principal and superintendents offices.

F*ck the lunch lady, I'd have the local news in the principal and superintendents offices.

I don't know as I'd call the news immediately, but I'd certainly contact the principal and then the superintendent.  Unfortunately with a finite time and finite number of students then someone will always be last and get screwed.  The policy should be to rotate and not stick the same kids in it as last.

I agree with Supe that segregating based on economic subsidy is just plain wrong and if their going to segregate it seems the paying customers should get preferential treatment and not the other way around.

;-P

so you all want ME to get tared and feathered....which is what would happen if I even thought to bring in local news.  mr snick and I weren't born here, didn't grow up here, don't have family here so we are already outsiders to the yocals.  

I was going to write the teacher to confirm what minisnick told me.  I believe him 100% though.

That's what "anonymous tips" are for.

Probably shouldn't be "sorting" the kids in that way...Who ever "buys" lunch goes in one line, first come-first served, who ever brings their lunch goes in another.  I think your idea is best...Contact the teacher first.

and physical $ is never present.  have to have $ on an account, they wont accept cash in the lunchroom

Took mini P-E hiking today.   During lunch at the top he says "it's wonderful out here".

trying to raise bug loving kids so they don't scream like little girls when they find a bug in the house

 

[knight1fox3]

What about Arachnophobia?

 

[Supe]

Every once in a while after heavy rains, we will spot a Palmetto Bug (American Cockroach) in the house.  Sure enough, yesterday morning, I felt the dog brush against my leg while laying on the couch... except I could see them both laying on the floor.  After nearly hitting my head on the ceiling, I chased that bastard out of the couch cushions and smooshed that mother f'er so hard that I practically cracked a floor board.  

 

[snickerd3]

What about Arachnophobia?

I don't think there is a cure for that one...the only rules for that are they are not allowed in the house.  They can stomp and squash them if they see them inside, but they are to let them be if they see them outside.

Mini-Kevo had kindergarten orientation this morning. It went pretty good.

Tomorrow is the real deal though. It was just like yesterday we took her home from the hospital.

 

[Supe]

Junior finally has a teacher with some years under her belt.  A pleasant change from the past two who may as well have been in diapers.

Young person diapers or old person diapers?

 

[snickerd3]

so minisnick used to be a PB&J person almost everyday for lunch last yr.  we asked him this morning why he hasn't asked for pb&J yet this school year and he said one of his lunch friends (not in his class so just at lunch/recess) is allergic to peanuts so he didn't want his friend to have to go to another table.
