Did you like going to school?

I didn't mind going.

I loved coming home in the evenings.

Some of the time, I liked it when I was actually there, too. Depended what subjects were timetabled.

It depended. I was not thrilled with High School but I loved college. I think that being around more people that actually wanted to learn made the difference.

All except Junior High, which was in a rough neighborhood and full of...well, let's just say it was "organized."

I didn't grade school at all. I was extremely shy which made me the perfect target for bullies. I really really hated high school because of the social pressures and again the bullies. I dropped out in my Junior year, not soon enough!
I loved College.

Loved elementary school, liked/hated middle school, loved high school, though I also loved sleeping in, so I did cut class sometimes. Loved college, except for the tests and the papers. ;) But the reading and the discussion, that part was great.

I loved school up to about 3rd grade when I started struggling with reading, and it was pretty down hill from there. There was generally at least one class I loved in Jr High per year, and high school... well it all sucked, except Band and my Science classes, and well I sucked at Band but it was still fun.

I did like going to school, although I went through a brief phase of begging my parents to send me to a private, conservative Christian school. Thank God they didn't listen.

Mostly. First, I enjoyed learning, then later I liked hanging out with the stoners, then in college I figured out how to do a little of both.

Not at the time, but I wish I could be there now. Well, not there there. I hated that school, but another school would be nice.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
