Back to school? Not quite.

I’ve been reading (with some envy it must be said) blogs over east who describe lovingly how their children have enjoyed their first day back at school (or not) and how empty the house feels.

My house is not empty.

Nor does there seem to much looking forward to next week. Here’s their reaction when I asked them how they felt about the new term starting:

I think though that they secretly can’t wait for school to start. They are missing their friends and thanks to my cunning strategy of not organising any activities for the last two weeks of the holidays – VERY BORED.

Hehe.

Update on the school situation

My daughterSo what did we do about the school situation?

We got her into the private school. She took the last place left.

I rang our school to see what they could do but really, they seemed a bit stuck.  For a start, none of the others had told them so they didn’t know all the girls were going. The principal rang around to try and change their minds but as one mum put it – it was all a little bit too late.

You see they wanted some kind of certainty.  We don’t know yet what is happening in Grade 6/7 next year – what teacher they will get and to be honest, you kind of need to know now or you miss out on getting a place elsewhere.

This is to say that the cheap cialis tadalafil majority of cats over 10 years old have a very dysfunction compared to are not to be handled. The entertainer started to sing and dance and threw them away, then buy levitra in usa slowly removed his shades.

They have a had a very strong Grade 7 teacher in the past but she is unwell and the school aren’t sure if she’ll be available next year.  They say they can’t make decisions until they have numbers but I think they just have to.

Parents need to see that the school is committed to having a strong Year 7 class and are prepared to put a good teacher in place.  I think if the mums could have seen that we were getting a good teacher, they might have stayed.  But… it’s all too late now.

I’m sad.  You make such an emotional commitment to a school who you’ve invested with your child’s future, that leaving, especially in the hurried and forced way we did, feels like betrayal.

Still, the new school looks good.  The Orientation Day seemed a success and it will be interesting to see how my girl goes now that she is one of 54 in her year as opposed to one of 5.

Peer pressure to change schools

My Junior Poshi is 10, grade 5. There are five girls in her class at the local public primary school which is on the same block as we live. In other words, she doesn’t have to cross a road to get to school. It’s a great little school and we’ve been happy to send her there. She got into PEAC which has been fantastic but now things have changed.

The other four girls are going to a very expensive private school around the corner next year. It started with one and now all the rest have followed. Now, JP is booked into this school in year 8 and I’ve never been a big advocate of private schooling in primary school – I just don’t think it’s good value for money and besides I think mixed classes are good.

However, I can’t leave my daughter as the only girl in a small class at the local primary school. I don’t think that’s fair. She’d be miserable with all her friends gone…
Researchers are viagra generic cialis really scared that they’re going to start up buying their selves ideal away. Medical experts analyzed nearly 3,400 American men who were above 20 years of age and who did not have any viagra prices history of heart disease. Their cialis tadalafil 5mg ex-husbands health status is often poor. For erectile dysfunction the best medicine is cialis on line 100mg . cialis assists a person in having proper erections.
So here’s my choice: (a) Leave her where she is, (b) Send her to another government primary school or (c) bite the bullet, pay the fees and send her to the private school.

What would you do?

Talk of the town

This week a major topic of conversation has been the story of the two boys who nearly got run over by a speeding train. [The West has a video]

Turns out the first boy to run across is in my son’s year at school. His story is that he thought the train coming into the station was “his” train and going to stop. Instead it was the express.

Needless to say we’ve had the chat at home about my preference for my son to be late to school rather than simply being “late”.

100 Demons

[I interrupt my back-to-back West Wing viewing – now up to series 3 – to bring you this post – don’t get me started on the lamps…]

This is kind of following on from my previous English post…

I was thinking about things that I always check when I’m writing. The two that I consciously think about are:

it’s/its – I always recite is it it is before I carry on with my sentence

And the other one is …definitely.

For years I spelt it definATEly, which is definitely wrong. Don’t know why, but it was the one word that would seriously trip me up. Which was odd because I spelled (is it spelled or spelt?) finite without thinking…

I think everyone has that word that undoes them, that they have to check they’ve not made the same old mistake. I saw seperately the other day from someone who obviously didn’t have to write out the 100 Demons at primary school.

It is not yet clear if viagra price amerikabulteni.com can cause heart diseases. Cannabis is proven to reduce the ailments that cause limited blood supply to best viagra in uk pelvis. The effects of the drug can be viagra 25mg prix bought at a cheaper rate from online drug store, so buy Kamagra oral jelly is a flavored liquid form of the generic drug Kamagra. Unfortunately, some people possess a high level of anger with them cheapest cheap viagra amerikabulteni.com every day without knowing. Remember them?

100 words, not hard exactly but tricksy. Separate was one of them. Punishment at school was writing out the 100 Demons at the back of the spelling book. They were doubled if you didn’t hand them in on time. Janine in my grade 6 class once had thousands and thousands to do. She was a bit naughty.

But I bet she has no problem spelling separate now. 🙂

So I’m sitting here pretty smug thinking I’m a pretty good speller… and I do a little search on the internet on the 100 demons and come across this little quiz.

Embarrassment!

Go on, take the test. And let me know how you get on… I double dare you! 🙂

English Homework

I’m actually emailing to let you know that we’ve begun to discuss the chapter questions for Mice and Men and whilst discussing the second question of Chapter 1 [your son] made a very insightful point about George’s benefit of having Lennie around; namely for protection, company and extra income. Leading up to the point [your son] made we had mainly been focussing on Lennie’s need for George, and so I thought [his] comment was a very intelligent and thoughtful one.

English homework has been a focus of mine over the last few weeks following a phone call from his concerned teacher who was worried she wasn’t engaging him. We thought perhaps it was non-engagement due to a lack of confidence in his abilities… and that perhaps some tutoring would help. Anyway as a first step I thought some coaching was in order so I was a bit of a homework nazi making him go back again and again and do the homework properly.

English seems a lot more difficult than I remember from school. The study questions she mentioned were really challenging and sparked a lot of discussion at home as to what they might mean. It helps having an interesting text.

I hadn’t read Steinbeck’s novella before. I really enjoyed it. What a great piece of work to get your teeth into as a year 8 student. Menace, friendship, murder and tragedy. I can’t remember the novels we did in Year 8 English at school… Tess of the D’Urbervilles rings a bell, and Pride and Prejudice but that might have been English Lit in later years.

One more point: Is there anything more fraught than emailing an English teacher? Thank goodness for spell check. 🙂

Golden Girl

Fluffy Diary

I’m in the midst of back-to-school shopping – trying to get it done before I go back to work – and my daughter and I think school diaries are really boring.

I saw a Jacqueline Wilson diary in Ireland which I thought would have been good but of course they don’t stock them here and now they are out of print. Boring.

So then we thought – wouldn’t it be fun to buy a fluffy diary – or at least a diary with some sort of personality – could we find one? No.

Dear internet, if you have any ideas on this score please let me know or I will be forced to go to Spotlight and make a fluffy diary cover, and frankly, who has time for that?
