part-time public school????
[email protected]
I have just changed my i.d. from donMoreau to laura90713@... I
would like to thank everyone who replied to an early May post. For
some reason I couldn't get back on, so I just signed up again.
I have read a couple of times about kids going to public school part-
time. How did they accomplish this? I just can't imagine our school
district approving this. Does anyone have some really good strategy
for this? Also, one of my daughter's thinks she may want to return
to school, but I would need to "dummy up" a course of study with
grades.
My daughters also joined Pop-Warner Cheer. They want a report card
for their records. I told them we don't do grades. Of course this
totally confused them. They were like, "Well just bring the grades
you have to show to whoever you report to." They don't get it. I
told them I would copy my R-4 that I turned into the state. I think
I just might make a fake report card and give it to them. Maybe it
would just be easier than explaining it all.
I'm so glad to be back on this list.

Dear Laura
We do Pop-Warner soccer, did one year of
tee-ball.....have never been asked for a report card,
just birth cetrificate copy. And lots of money. Older
boys did baseball, soccer, and one was a paid
referee......no report cards were ever asked for. I
did sit and watch all of the practices and games. I
was often the ONLY parent at practice. Coaches
couldn't confuse the kids with odd questions and
instructions if I was there. Or bully the kids,
either.

softball in two different counties and never been asked for a report card.

As the guy at Civil Air Patrol told my son's friend when she pointed out
that he was homeschooled and therefore didn't have report cards. "If you
ask a homeschooling family for grades, grades will appear." They
understand unschooling, and expect that the "grades" will come on a sheet
of computer paper and will be all As. (Obviously, if the child is
determining what they will learn, by definition they have to be doing it
perfectly.) They check the box and go on.
If you do run into a youth group that does take the whole thing
seriously, then some conversation would probably be in order. I haven't
yet, although I have made a school name, principal and teachers on the
form when that was something they needed. It isn't "faking" anything,
just translating from one language to another.
Those who are against "playing the game" would have to decide whether or
not they wanted their child to participate. I have no problem with it as
long as the people running the program are on my wavelength with regard
to my child. (The moral dilemna of what it does for schooled children is
one I choose to leave for the schooled children's parents.)

I'm not too clear about how you provide names of
teachers when this information may be needed on a form
for your child. A school name and principal I can
understand, but how do you define the names of the
teachers? Are they other adults who have taught your
child in different settings?

We listed the subjects with me as the teacher for each one. We used
mostly school vocabulary for subjects. Remember, I had already observed
to make sure the adults were appropriate before we made the grades for
them. I doubt that my son would have wanted to participate if they
hadn't been.

Each person participating needs to have passing grades. This is the
only time I have ever been required to do this. Unfortunatly I will
not be able to attend each girls practices because I will have three
of them going on at once, plus a two-year old in tow.

Dear Laura
...It is a pain, but two year olds enjoy the
practices, too. Mama's don't, well, I didn't. I just
pretended. I ALWAYS (not really, just seemed like
it)had a potty training toddler in tow. And I abhor
the public restrooms that so fascinate the little
ones. And the nasty drinking fountains. Just let the
little one carry a lunch box or back pack with toys
and snacks. And a wet washcolth in a baggie and a
bottle of water in your bag. How lucky you are that
the girls all have practice at the same time. Usually
practices are not long enough to go anywhere and come
back anyways. Of course, I don't REALLY know your
situation...with three girls, that's enough for them
to watch out for each other, too.

I have this funny feeling that they will have their practices at
different locations. I hope not. During the month of August,
nicknamed "hell month", they will practice for 2 to 2 1/2 hours
Monday - Friday. Then it will calm down a bit for September (thank
goodness) and their practice will be 2 or 3 times a week for 2 hours
with a game on Saturday. So far it has cost us around $800.00 for
all three girls to do this!!!!! I told them they will have to sell
the candy bars for their fund-raiser because I will not shell out
another $100 to buy-out for each team. I hope they have a good time
doing this for what it is costing us.

Try toting a one year old and a two year old. I don't think I got to see five minutes of any of their games last year. They were just glad I was there.

Makes me tired thinking about it. I never had any arms
or shoulders until I had babies!.......and other
people's babies......
Yes, the children ARE glad when Mama (especially)
makes the effort to be there. Do you have a 2 year old
and a 3 three year old now? That's probably even more
difficult!

Dear Laura........sure do hope they get a lot out of
it too! Those "so-far" bucks didn't include gas,
eat-out meals, and all of the other "little" stuff
that adds up...and the yet to come expenses! Maybe
they will all become disillusioned at the same time,
too.
Gosh, an unschooling cheerleading Mama. Will you have
to do committee stuff with the other cheerleader
Mama's? Post game parties and such? The whole thing
sounds like an extended "hell month". Too bad they
didn't all decide to be seamstresses or babysitters or
carpenters are gardeners or pastry chefs or puppeteers
Is the littlest one a girl, too?
Mucho sympathy.
