I think the nice thing about school is that if you find it totally offensive you can always just pull her out. I know here in Ontario, you can do part time school...they just really need the kids in the school to get their numbers and funding up...but, they are totally willing to cater to homeschoolers.<br />Good luck...it's a hard choice to have to make!<br />maureenTwigandToadstoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408437451671761958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-2653050266880284402010-05-17T16:36:53.819-07:002010-05-17T16:36:53.819-07:00Awesome update, all around!

That sounds more reasonable to me. They need a part-time homeschool, where your kids stay home with you 3 days and the other two days they are in classes with each other.<br /><br />Alas, as the mama of a bright 8 year old girl, I know it is nice to have a bit of separation.<br /><br />Best of luck with the new job and the move!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158578405959215837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-10953285369655482892010-05-16T19:36:54.155-07:002010-05-16T19:36:54.155-07:00Wow.

If you pull apart the stem like string cheese and put them in cups of water, they curl like ringlets. (Our kids will be entertained for hours with this "project" - a fun way to weed the calcium-deprived yard). Good luck with your move. We still can't find half the stuff we packed from ours half a year ago.

And even better, it sounds like good change. I hope that all of the transitions are as smooth as possible. <br /><br />And how cute are those ducklings? So.

One of my kidlits decided...alex the chicken. hmmm?<br /><br />One of my kidlits decided last spring that she wanted to attend public school.. we obliged and I have found it- do-able.<br />some aspects bring me to tears with pride and happiness for how much she delights in her peers and in learning.. and some things make me want to spit nails..<br /><br />generally the *system*...I am happy my kids seem thus far to have enough empathy to just pity the children who make fun of others- and I have found that when I hear of a child name calling or accosting mine- if we engage in a conversation about *why* that child behaves in this manner.. things tend to slide off their little backs and they walk away proud of their own actions and determined to be kind to someone who is maybe acting out..<br /><br /><br />but still.. an experience I do not regret.<br /><br />I find homeschooling hard for sure- I have poor motivation.. but love the options and the space they have as individuals to grow at their own speed-<br />but some kids thrive at public school..<br /><br />and sometimes being the crazy weirdo parent is weirdly fun.<br /><br />-can she walk to school from your new home or will she ride the slybuss-<br /><br />which is just the word verification- and i thought putting it in a sentence would be fun. HA<br /><br />I wanna ride the slybuss..Hawkfeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03391895568815664778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694675.post-18353406130050345592010-05-15T23:49:47.217-07:002010-05-15T23:49:47.217-07:00I'm so happy for you J, honestly no-one could ...I'm so happy for you J, honestly no-one could deserve a good dose of good fortune than you.
