There's a long thread on the topic:

Short answer, it's a while yet.

Being closer to finding out about the Woodward opening and associated redistricting. We're DCC, in-bounds for Einstein, and I'd just like to know, already, whether my kids can stay in the DCC or not.

C'mon! DCUM may be a "toxic hellhole" but it's our toxic hellhole!

DCUM gonna DCUM!

McKnight’s resignation.

I’m looking forward to holding my new principal accountable. I’m a PT teacher and I’m tired of admin not following the contract with regards to work hours or limits on sections taught. With the old principal out, nobody has an excuse to break the rules anymore.

Switched from full time to part-time. At a new school with a admin who so far is very professional (haven’t had luck with my previous 2 schools). I’m so excited to have a year I won’t be burned out by October.

Kindergarten for our oldest

My sons senior year! Seems like the first day of K was yesterday. I still remember standing at the bus stop watching him walk on to the bus. And the sound of his classmate wailing uncontrollably.
Sigh. The year is gonna go fast.

Nothing. Want a longer summer. Not ready for the chaos.

Plus one

My kid loves school, learning, the long bus ride, and his classmates. He didn't want there to be a summer break, although he ended up enjoying our vacations and free time. But he'll be happy to be back.

My youngest kid is finally starting kindergarten - just looking forward to not having to write the daycare check anymore. Extended day at school is so much less expensive.
