The co-op meeting went well, or pretty well.  We had a couple of minor problems, for example when I told the other committee members that there were 22 kids in one of the classes.  The teacher for that class didn't put a maximum number of kids, and the other classes that period were full, so she got everybody else in the 9-11 age group.  We ended up calling the other teachers and convincing them to take three extra kids each.  Then we printed all the schedules, stuffed them in envelopes, and mailed them out.

I started getting phone calls the next day.  "Why am I helping in Gym?"  "My kids didn't get their first choices."  "I told J I didn't want that class."  Etc, etc.  Most of these problems could have been solved if they had just specified their preferences when they filled out the registration forms.  But no, they'd rather wait and complain to me so that I have to move people all around to different classes and then reprint and resend all the forms.  It really bothers me when adults can't follow directions, you know?

So co-op starts a week from Tuesday, and once it starts, there are usually very few problems.  It's just getting everything together before then!
