I ranted about that on my blog. While it does not affect me, since we homeschool, I still think it is about the dumbest thing. The school my kids are zoned for was also requesting a ream of copy paper, as well as dry-erase markers and some other clearly-for-the-teacher supplies. Ridiculous! I literally LOL at your comment about paying for the power bill next year. Bah!!! <br /><br />On the mixed feelings thing, just so you don't think you're alone, or that we homeschoolers have some super-power when it comes to patience with our children ;)....I have found that the days when we have no STRUCTURE to our day, everything goes haywire. I spend too much time on the computer (blush), the kids spend all day playing...which inevitably leads to fighting, because they are just plain BORED really. Last week, dh was on vacation (and, thus, so were we), and wooo-boy! I think by the end of his vacation, the kids and I both could not wait to get back to our homeschooling schedule. They are SOOO different when there is no particular routine versus every hour of the morning is structured. <br /><br />I'll pray that you will make the right decisions for your family. :)Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538481168371897047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82910982265045565.post-41722565038822958212009-08-17T12:12:55.693-04:002009-08-17T12:12:55.693-04:00i dont bother sharpening the pencils,. honestly, b...i dont bother sharpening the pencils,. honestly, by the time i get them into the classroom all of them are broken anyways. DUMBEST IDEA EVER. Since no real work gets done on the first day, they should have the kids sharpen pencils to keep them busyfidgethttp://findingyourself.netnoreply@blogger.com
