[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...how do you deal with reliving them when your children hit kindergarten?

I know this sounds crazy, but I wasn't a happy person until college. I hate being at someone's beck and call, I hated all the rules, I just hated it. I followed the rules, each and every one, but I was miserable doing it. I loved the freedom that college and a professional job provided. Show up two minutes later because of traffic? No big deal! Strep throat? Take the day off and sleep!

My my oldest is starting K, and I'm dreading everything about it. I don't know how to get her to school on time, because there are so many variables. And yes, I'm the person always 10 minutes early for everything, but when you introduce a child into the mix, well, I can't 100% control another person. She's already complaining about the dress code, and I'm in tears almost every night thinking of the phone calls I'm going to get. [b]I suppose I had forgotten that schools has such a strict attendance policy, and you can be kicked out for a certain number of [i]excused [/i]absences (a really low number).[/b] It's honestly like going through my childhood years all over again.

Anyway, that's it. Just pure dread. Was anyone happy as an adult, then had to face childhood issues again once their kids grew up? How do you deal with it?[/quote]

This doesn't happen at public school.  There is no number of excused absences where they will kick your DC out or make your DC repeat.  [/quote]

It's a private school. And yeah - people told me the local public schools have the same 10 day rule. You can appeal it, but that's the rule.[/quote]

I suppose you aren't local then.

Don't send your DC to that private school if you hate the uniforms and the strictness.  If you're paying for a school, pay for a school that you don't hate.  [/quote]
