Can we talk about Minimum Days and how they are destroying my life?
(Well, not destroying my life, but certainly putting a crimp in my daily Mojo.)
Really, how many of these things do we need to have?
When will I write my blog for God’s Sake?
And also, Dear School District – is there some fucking reason why you can’t put the Middle school and the Elementary schools on the same MINIMUM DAY SCHEDULE?
Cuz really, there is nothing I love more than getting my older daughter out the door and to school at 7:20, then home to get the little one ready and out the door at 8:15, come back home, go to work, THEN PICK UP THE MIDDLE SCHOOLER AT 11:30?
Are you flipping trying to KILL THE PARENTS?
Where’s my Minimum Day Mrs. Superintendent??? Where’s my MOMMY IN SERVICE DAY?
I could use some group support and training. (Or a spa day. Just sayin’.)
Frankly, I’d like a school day that ended at 4:00 p.m. for both schools.
(Really, that is a lie. I really want a school that ends at 5:00 p.m.)
(Still lying. 6:00 p.m. would be even better. But I don’t want to supervise homework when they get home.)
I don’t know whether to put a “Potty Mouth” alert at the beginning of this blog, or a “Over-Use of Capital Letters” alert.
Hey. I’ve got feelings.
I’d share more with you, but I have to pick my kid up. AT 11:30!!!
Oh, exactly. I couldn't wait to get out of school then. Now? The school day can't be long enough, frankly.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one. I am dreading the day when all three of my kids will be at three different schools. Three drop-offs and three pick-ups. Can't wait until the oldest is 16. 5 more years to go.
ReplyDeleteOMG I am SO with you!
ReplyDeleteI swear my kids go to school about half as much as I did when I was there age. We only had adjusted days during parent/teacher conferences.
And like Carolyn, I'm counting the days until my 8th grader is 16 and I'm DONE carpooling!
