It’s that time of the week again (and I participated this week). Please excuse me if they’re not very funny. I’m trying, I’m trying. School ended this week. It’s very bittersweet. On one hand, I couldn’t be happier to be done. After a year of IEP violations, mediocre teachers (and that’s being nice), getting more of a glimpse at what NCLB has done to our school system, and filing due process paper work, I’m done. And that’s just with the elementary school! The boys are done with our district, and are officially enrolled in cyber school for fall. I’m excited for them, especially after seeing which classes we will be getting for our older son.
OK, OK, so you’re not here to listen to me blab today. You’re here for the eye candy. If you want to participate, click the button and go visit this week’s link up. Sunday doesn’t bite – much.

Ahh, problems with the school. I am becoming more familiar with this. We have been going thru this all year too. I finally got an educational advocate, as well as filing a complaint with the Dept of education office of civil rights. This school will be sorry they messed with my baby!!!!! Good luck to you
I’m really NOT here for eye candy. I’m not going to lie.

I don’t believe Jim–he’s totally here for the eye candy!
I can so relate to this post. We had a bad year, as well. My son’s teachers just couldn’t seem to help him and it sure didn’t feel like they tried very hard. I hope you enjoy the summer.
And the heat wave.
Had issues myself with our school district and pulled one of my kids out mid-year and enrolled him in a charter school (love it!) Of course, just found out our govt voted to refund charter schools… Uh.
Of course they did…
I’d sign on to make a heatwave with Ryan anyday.

Schools are designed to take over where the kiddos leave off and drive us completely and totally insane. I in new and unchartered territory now that my son’s in college. The good thing is I’m so totally crazy nuts by now that I don’t care. Bring it on.
I couldn’t be sicker of dealing with schools. I’ll be interested to hear about the cyber school and how it goes. We’re committed to another year of public school, but not sure how long we can keep it up.

Sounds like you are living my life in terms of schooling issues! I had to pull my 3rd grader out of school this May after 2 years of not working with us and having him regress because of it. We are still working out the kinks but he is MUCH happier and to me that’s worth everything.

Cyberschool? We have GOT to look into that. Middle school is coming, and its not going to be pretty.
