FIRST A QUESTION
A Question--Why is it OK for home schooling parents to constantly criticize and complain about public schools and public school teachers YET, it seems we, the public school and teachers can't even utter one word of disdain for homeschooling for fear we will offend homeschooling parents, yet we teachers have to stand and take it, and shut our mouths when we are bashed....so again why is this the case? IMHO, If you want to be critical in nature, then believe me you can find something or someone to criticise. If have an open-minded, accepting nature, then you will find many things/people to be open-minded, and accepting about, it is all in how one decides to view their world.
In my opinion, there are positives and negatives for both types of schooling, so please let's not always rag on school teachers, I happen to like what I do, and work hard on being a good teacher. In addition, I know MANY other teachers who strive to be good teachers as well

Ve had a great day, well behaved, walked home without a hitch, loved her teachers and classmates. Ditto for today
Tuki's bus ride to and from 4k was less less desirable, an hour long each way, late for school, yet she enjoyed every minute of it. Today's ride much better, only 30 minutes long each way. She is a ALOT crabby when she gets home because the last few days have been the first ever that she is going without a nap, and it wears her out, crabs her up, yet she is loving going to school and riding a bus.
Mim had a rough day yesterday, she missed her 1st hour completely, late to many classes, and I helped her get onto her bus to CC practice at the high school. Luckily we as a school are very understanding of 7th graders the first few weeks. It is a hard transition, especially for one who only has 10 months of English under her belt. Today was better, tomorrow hopefully even better, but I won't be there to help since my endocrinologist appointment is tomorrow morning.

I have a great amount of respect for teachers! As you know I home schooled last year and the girls are back in school this year and loving it. My only problem is some of the not so nice habits they pick up at school and the sassy talking from one child.
My oldest daughter is almost finished with her degree for teaching so I support both!!
Just catching up on your blog after a month I think! Glad the girls are getting settled in school. And oh how I hope my C loves sports like your girls!
How was the endocrinologist appointment? Hope you get that thyroid "whipped into shape" soon. My sis has problems with that and says its exhausting...without kids!
