Substitute teacher-- taking away the afternoon snacktime of first graders who eat lunch at 11am is not the key to a peaceful rest of the day. Make them stay in their seats and eat in silence, sure, but I assure you that denying them food and drink will not make your afternoon any better. In fact, it will do exactly the opposite.
 
 
Haha, I wish I had a dollar for every status I've read lately by moms complaining about end of the year projects and homework.

I have mixed feelings about school ending for the year, but I can tell you that I'm about done with packing lunches and initialing homework sheets.

With this morning's graduation, we have successfully parented two boys through preschool without incident. I know we've got a long way to go, but we're calling that a win for today. (Now I just have to train my car not to continue to drive there every morning, as it has for the last 4 years...)

Is it necessary to sharpen a new pencil every single day before starting the math worksheet? JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK, CHILD!

Dude, I see that you are from another state, but it is pretty universally known that you do not mess with preschool pick-up. Taking up two spots in an already tight lot is pretty much punishable by death.

 
 
This is a tad disrespectful for my taste, but he makes excellent, excellent points. Given the right forum, he could teach a lot of people a lot of things.

Do you think you're allowed to take coffee to the Nature Center field trip...? What if it's in an eco-friendly travel mug? ;)

I live under the fear that as soon as I throw away a shoebox, a request for one will come home from school. #preschoolproblems
 
 
For having green initiatives and being paperless, these schools send home a lot of damn paper.
