Another School Year

Another school year is here but this time it is different for me. My oldest daughter is now 18 and decided that she doesn't like school, which didn't really surprise me, enough to go on to college right now. The younger two daughters have started public school or any school outside the home, for the first time in their lives. The original reason for them to go to school was that I needed to find a job, which is not really going all that well. I mean two months and still no job very frustrating. The 10yo is in the fifth grade and loves it even though she complains about certain things and I have to admit they do bother me as well. She is in the highest groups for reading and is doing really well which is not really a surprise either but I don't know what to do about her boredom. The 4yo is in preschool at the public school which is three hours. I must admit I think she is really ready for kindergarten which is what we would be doing if she were at home but the silly school system and their age rules. Any way 4yo was listening and watching the teacher read a story to the class one of the first days of school, the teacher decided to change the end of the story up just a little bit to welcome the children to school. My dd decided to let her know the book did not say what she read. I think it is funny but I think they may try to start pulling her out for a reading group in an older class. (I hope anyway) I think the only one having a hard time adjusting is me.  I don't really like someone else dictating my schedule to me and not really knowing what or how well they are being taught the material. I guess they will get along fine they are smart girls and I will eventually adjust or pull them back out. I know that I have plenty of things to keep me busy at home even without them here until I can find work that will pay me enough to make it worth leaving the house. LOL |
