[quote=Anonymous]We don't do half the stuff that's supposed to happen. The only activities I make sure get done are: 1. The ones my kids really care about, which let me tell you boils down to Pajama Day! Forget about Anti-drugs week or Spirit week or whatever crap event the school's going to think about next. 2. The academic activities, which are the ones *I* care about! My first grader had to write and stick photos in the class journal. Good writing exercise, it got done. They participate in the Young Author's Contest every year. They do a science experiment and make a poster for the Science Fair. That kind of thing. We don't go to the basketball game, the skate night, the instrumental concert (cacophony), etc. I'm in charge of the school's cultural arts and science enrichments, so have to be at school a fair bit, and know that there is WAY TOO MUCH GOING ON.[/quote]
