[quote=Anonymous]-I wouldn't have worried at all about so many things: teacher assignments, class placements, homework, etc. None of it really matters in elementary and it's really the only years you have to enjoy before everything does matter in middle school. -Along those lines, I would have taken the kids out of school for more vacations. Again, starting in middle school it became a mess to even miss a day. Prior to that we should have been taking them out left and right to see the world. -I also would have done more private lessons in my kids' sports at an early age. I started with one around 11 but I wish I would have started earlier. If you're spending all that time on the sports fields with your kid, they might as well be good---and the kids who are good (in this area) are the ones who were trained well from an early age.
